>Funnily enough /v/ in 2025 is somehow better than how /v/ was from between 2014 - 2022
The month long downtime heavily benefit the site and I will stand by that statement. It caused a lot of people to lose their interest in browsing here, ignore the site, find new daily haunts, and in general caused there to be better discussion and discourse even if it's still mostly trolls trolling trolls. If you've been browsing here for even a few years this should have been apparent, but that week or so after the downtime felt like '09ish /v/ at times (Which, don't get me wrong, wasn't amazing by any means but was a sight better than post '11ish). We're never going to get back to the glory days of '05-'07ish nighttime /v/ but it's better than it was before the downtime at least.
