I'll be quick to say I miss Cormac. He was kindly toward me and was a constant on the forums.
I'm not altogether certain he isn't here now under a new user name, as the site really doesn't suppress puppet accounts as it says it does. This has been proven over and over.
Whether he and I have much in common isn't my care, really, as JUB needs diversity, but has been declining due to its tendency to allow harrying of the dissidents. We've run off women, trans, bi, ethnicities, conservatives, and who knows what other sectors as we've tolerated bullying by some members but not others.
When I joined some 15 years ago, Hot Topics was a foment of everything. Now, it's little more than a few surviors and a few propagandists for chosen politics.
If Cormac has left, it was from the tedium.
