Grab the Codex by the pussy
Does there ever comes a point when you say fuck it and just give it up?

Yep. I handed control of Goregrish over to my administrator (who had all the technical skills I lacked) in 2015 I think, after a year or two of being very inactive. We founded the site in 2010.

He wanted to implement features and changes that I frequently didn't agree with and often resisted, although I made concessions from time to time (I allowed a Shoutbox and post ratings to be implemented, for example). It occurred to me eventually that the best thing to do was to give him full control, since I didn't give a shit about anything but the shitposting section of the forums anyway (the equivalent of GD).

It would be like DU handing ownership over to Taluntain.

Why is he so inactive here? He's the only one from the administration that I don't see in General RPG forum I think

As the former site owner of a website and forums with traffic levels similar to the RPG Codex, I can tell you exactly why:

After at most 4-5 years, you stop giving a damn about anything at all, except for dreaming up ways to troll the userbase by messing around with the forum software control panel.

He even used to care so much he did the 'year in review' thing for a while.

Being quiet is future proofing himself in case someone would offer 10 million dollar for the forum. Wouldn't want any scandals to come up :cool:
