I don’t really get where you’re coming from with the idea that the board is suddenly “negative now.” When I joined back in 2012, GC was already a wild place. Folks were beefin’, coming for each other over the dumbest things, and from what I heard, it was even worse before I got here with real life drama, people crossing serious lines, stuff that had no business leaving the screen.
So let’s not rewrite history like GC used to be some utopia. It’s always been a mix with some mess, magic for some, and a whole lot of personalities. That’s what I think made it what it was and lightweight still is.
And as far as asking why the board’s still open? That kind of misses the point. Just because your favorite version of it doesn’t exist anymore doesn’t mean it has no value to anyone else. Not everybody was here for recruitment stories. Some came for connection, advice, culture talk, even just laughs.
So if you’re still logging in, even occasionally, then clearly it means something. But if folks like you only come around to talk about how it used to be better without bringing anything new to the table, then you’re not helping it move forward. You’re just standing in the past.
And respectfully, the board doesn’t need to be shut down, it just needs more people willing to build instead of compare.
