'Tis But a Flesh Wound

• The forums, especially hub.mn and to a lesser extent the Bastion Union, for being a place overrun by spambots and very little actual activity, but still something we seem unable to say goodbye to. With questions what we should do with them as the software ages unanswered. It's only a flesh wound, they'll be fine until they're not and the history recorded on them will be lost forever. Annna (talk) 14:48, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
