This board has become friendlier

General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.

Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

Out of curiosity, when you say what he did was unforgivable, you are speaking of trying to hijack your server to take control of it?
No, that was just the apex of it. And FTR he didn't "try to hijack the server"; there was no attempt to hijack even though he clearly exceeded his authorization, and it was purely destructive/for leverage, AFAIK.
I'd prefer to leave all that in the past though. It's been 3.5 years and we've moved on for the better, so leave it at that.

Fair enough, I thought that was what happened but I guess my memory is wrong. So yeah... i'll leave it at that.

Tobin helped a lot [with certain technical stuff]
Agree kudos for helping UXP not-die.

At the time of the quitting, I had concern for the man. From his postings elsewhere I saw parallels between his situation and other people in my spheres. And because of personal changes mentioned in those postings, I tried to make contact as maybe like a lifeline. But what I got was - let's just say - he wasn't interested.

I won’t comment on my views of or interactions with any specific people, but I agree that the community as a whole has became more friendly and less hostile since I originally joined the forum and IRC 5-6 ish years ago.
