I really hope internet forums are coming back. Massive platforms mine you for information, are lax with their security and eat away at the things that made the internet exciting.

Z and the rest of the IW staff made something amazing. I'm very sorry to have been one of the reasons this place faded. Sorry about the blog post, I've gotten sentimental and nostalgic with age.
