Hubski used to be a lively and stimulating place where you could daily be exposed to ideas or positions that you rarely rubbed elbows with. It was a FUN place that could occasionally really get under your skin.

Then it became a dear diary, mutual support forum. It's the place to go when you've got something under your skin.

I heavily disengaged when an active user was shopping some soft peddled red pill content and no one else gave a shit to call him out cause he'd been around for a while. I felt like the whole place had sunk into dreary apathy.

I came back and reengaged a few times to wander away again.

I drop in now and then out of a sense of nostalgia.

I'll see many of the users in RL now and again, I knew a handful of them before this place got started.

Honestly Kleinbl00, you were probably 30% of the reason I'd log in. You were definitely the most enduring reason I've logged in for 4390 days.

I know there are people who say that you are the reason that Hubski died, because your sharp tongue is just too wicked. I think that's bullshit. You've provided me tons of entertainment through hilarious tales and educational explanations of a wildly diverse areas of natural and human endeavor.

Thanks for the memories!

The day will come when I never read anything from you again that that'll be too bad.
