All crew, I do not know where the rumors came from of a gagh truck on every corner. I do not know any food vendors. Stop asking me. Worf
Sorry that happened >< I hate using Debit for just that reason, skimmers are EVERYWHERE.
..."now" lol
I stood in line to buy this at firesale prices from Staples back in the day when I used to work there. The UI was beautiful but the software was lacking. I wish HP hadn't given up on the thing so quickly.

LinkedIn's "messenger" is hilarious. It straight up sends you ads dressed up as personal messages. I hate it. I'm surprised Facebook hasn't done this stupid thing. Oh no, I'm not, because Messenger is part of their lock-in strategy to keep people on FB and they want to keep that attractive.
Either way it's a bad look and a bad philosophy. My gut feeling is, open source contribution issues aside (which were probably just salt in the wound), the Wordpress guy saw how much money someone who WASN'T HIM was making with the thing HE built, got salty, and wanted "his due". [end]
Also that they were claiming WPE was doing TOTALLY HORRIBLE THINGS but with the right amount of money thrown their way those TOTALLY HORRIBLE THINGS wouldn't be mentioned anymore tells me those things were probably not as HORRIBLE as they claimed OR they just don't give a shit about users. [2/x]
I wake up to hear WordPress is cutting off WPEngine customers. So many thoughts on this. I can see WordPress' trademark concern but they diluted their own mark through their usage permission, so I want to say that ship has sailed. Not to mention their .com / .org confusion [1/x]
The hell is going on in Wordpress land? This feels like Tortious interference.
People accuse us of looking back at the forum era with rose tinted glasses, reminding us there's always been trolls and drama. Well, yes, there was drama. Tons of drama! Importantly, however, that drama *didn't make its way to the national news* and no one cared outside of your 50-1000 users.
