THERE WILL BE NO RULES CHANGED OR ADDED. READ MY LIPS. NO. NEW. RULES. ADDED. With that bit of housekeeping done. I would like to explain a few things because i feel you guys are owed one. I'm the new board owner. I am not bullshitting you when i say this, but i actually didn't know this until an hour or two ago. Here's the backstory as to how i got it: Almost 2 years ago i started talking to the previous BO on Element (btw, fuck that app and all the open source trannies that use it), I talked to him semi regularly throughout 2022 and early 2023. Around the spring & summer of last year, I took an internet sabbatical to take care of some real world issues, but i did on occasion when i had time and was in the mood check this place to see how it's going. After around September my life got so busy to the point where i couldn't even catch Raw consistently, so i unintentionally lost contact with him, and the rest of this board. Cut to tonight where I'm checking some old folders (a lot of my job is done at a PC, no i'm not a glownigger), and i open up Element for the first time since about May of 2023, and i come across this message from the old owner. I apologize for not letting you guys know sooner, and for letting you down by not doing my job. I'm going to make this a thread for any new things that are being done to the board. But i would like your input on a few things. When i was still talking with the old BO, I tossed around the idea of us having a Discord server or a Telegram channel. I want your feedback on this matter because i feel that either one of those would bring a lot of new people to both the board, and the community at large. I also am considering a public investment fund of source, where we all chip in a few bucks to either help artists who primarily do bleached art, or even a couple members of the server to go on a Bleached holiday. of course these things won't be done if nobody gives a shit, but i just want these to be considered, since we will never win the war on coalburners and nigged retards if we don't take action and go outside of our comfort zones.
