why

[Seth]

Because this php bulletin board is a quiet sanctuary from all of the channeled, algorithm based social networks. This place has a nostalgia factor for me.

We have members from all over the world. It's like we're part of a 16-128bit private school internacional alumni.
I know I can come here and spray my geek all over the place. There's a tolerance of expression.
Despite the online username, this is anonymity in the Japanese flavour.

This is a Clean Well-Lighted Place
It is nada barely internet ether packets

I set my internet browser to open with several tabs. I like to set the tavern as one just so that I'm more likely to notice if someone posts. Like seriously, why lose this forum(shutdown or loss through non use) over diverting interests and no time.


I actually think there's a slight modification to the social interaction trends of the internet that can be humbly compared to the way neighbors don't talk and meet each other like they used to. There's a 'friends' and 'like' button abbreviation to the collective interactions that make honest communications "old fashioned"
That all sounds a bit like I'm grinching on social media, and I suppose I am but I think there's a magical realism aspect to the html scryptyverse of the old internet, even if it's a subjective attachment to that 90's style carryover that phpBB seems to retain for me.


I enjoy seeing old net identities and flash reminiscing AGB moments.
The other day Aspen and I tried to find spamcan.
