I did, but you are running a business not a charity so there must be a commercial purpose. How do you plan to make money from this place? Obviously plastering the place with as many advertising platforms as possible like during the rule of the previous owner is not your style and I thank you for it. :)
You forget (as pretty much the entire business world seems to have forgotten these days) that there's actual value in having a solid community of customers and advocates and maintaining good relations with them.

As far as I'm concerned, until the Purge starts, not having the endless irrelevant threadspamming alone represents a huge improvement.

I'm curious. Do you guys think we landed on the moon or do you think it was faked?
It's widely known that the U.S. government hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing. It was just that Kubrick was such an infamous perfectionist that he did it on the Moon.
