I don't know how many of you are still from arch0wl, it's been all of forever since it went down, but I thought this was interesting.
Right before Arch shut down the forums, I managed to catch him on soulseek (remember soulseek?), and ask him why, Santa Claus, why? I remember him telling me, essentially, that he was shutting down the forums because he felt the userbase wasn't up to his intelligence standards. Now, at the time, I was fifteen, tops, and I said k. Now, though, I wonder if I could have said something. I doubt he would have listened, I was something like a 200 postcount user on the forum and something of a butt, but I'll always wonder if maybe I could have convinced him to keep the forums up.
ANYWAY
