Congrats on the great achievement and hopefully the good times will continue to roll! As others have said, it must've been a huge challenge to continue after that shitstorm. I joined GAF literally a week or two before the nuclear bomb, was a long time lurker but never got around to joining because as I remember you couldn't use public mail providers and I couldn't use my work or isp mail for reasons unknown. But finally I did and it blew up , couldn't believe how fast things went, almost like it was planned in advance, there was another place up and running immediately. It truly was/is a huge robbery. If I was a moron, I could almost admire it, some low lifers becoming millionaires overnight. Damn.
Anyway, I joined there as well but I just saw what that place really is - a political/agenda driven echo chamber. I still have an account there but I'm not even visiting the site.
Keep up the good work, we need this place to exist.
