Winter bash like April Fools is just fun bonus content. They wouldn't consult the community before sending out them coffee mugs and t-shirts either. | |

| Sep 7, 2023 at 12:18 | comment | added | E.P. | I'm not sure that community consultation could've done all that much on this one. (Or at least, I'm not particularly annoyed by the lack of it.) On the community side we see the fun side (or the fading thereof...) but we don't really see the expenses side. The call "this is too expensive to keep running anymore" isn't something where we can have a proper two-sided conversation with both sides understanding each other's constraints. | |
