Y'all remember our super-mod, u/Evspra? Got this modmail from him tonight, and, uh, I feel concerned for this angry kid. I dunno what mental space he's in, but, do you ever look at GAW's amazing site design and think how awesome it is? It was all him! He did so much for us! Poor kid...

LET'S GOOoOoooo!!!
I remember that kid. He was the fountain of eternal youth. When he was popular, I honestly thought he was 4chan itself, coming to take us over. Turns out that wasn't the case
I remember too. He was a real autist like the ones you read about. On 24/7, coding and modding, his presence seemingly everywhere all at once. I do believe he had good intentions but guess he was led astray and fell down to the point of wanting to find a way to ruin a person's life over internet drama.
This. To me, the kid was golden. He could do no wrong. I was days away from giving him the keys to every functiuon on the site. Then suddenly...
He was pretty much the first person I interacted with on here. He gave me my Jerry “pepe” and I gave pretty much real-time feedback as he adjusted the color scheme of the site and tweaked a bunch of things with the UX over a couple days. Then one day everyone was hating on him for reasons above my pay-grade.
