he wants to work with us TC, i'll dm you
Working with him is a bad idea, as I already discussed with you in DMs.
If you thought getting people to join NodeBB with Jim on board was already rough from how dubious that'd look, having Cawk there is even worse. He's too inconsistent, can't be trusted even to believe the same things the next day.
It's russian roulette with a pedo-rifle.ughhhh. it sux, his forum looks so nice
There's plenty of other software choices and he's shown himself to be a script kiddy repurposer.
If you scoured the net enough you'd be liable to find the same code elsewhere, otherwise on your way towards finding it you're liable to find similar if not better code to appropriate or modify.
If you're going to take shortcuts, make sure it's not PR suicide from someone with a self-destruct button. There's too much risk here even in a world that has him having decent PR, like installing a backdoor or something to that effect.
Meta's forum has been in fine shape, amazing functionality, and while his first shut down caught me off guard for how sudden it was (it got me in the middle of a post even with no warning, but he's apologized for that so it's old news), I don't foresee it happening that way again, both from the problem content being off of here and from him seeing how sudden it formerly was as a mistake.ya I have worse trust issues than you though and he cant be trusted to not nuke it again from my perspective, as decent as his code is. i just dont trust like that
But you trust Cawk won't post CP?
Or you are fine with him posting CP, since you don't trust like that?
Or is cawk more trustworthy then I, to you? I would assume this is most likely. And not very smart lol, not because I will do something or claim to be very trustworthy, but because cawk is delusional, in addition to everything else that he is and has done.
I think you just want cawk back. Not entirely sure why, I tend to believe its because you don't like anyone being banned, but not convinced.
I have no issues with whatever you are doing tho, but your reasoning eludes me.
