Yes, I know there are still a handful of metals posts getting upvotes but it's a tiny percentage - a fraction of what it used to be. There are a lot more totally unrelated, low-effort posts than there are metal posts that add zero value to the community and because of that there is zero incentive to post about metals.
If we can't get the ship back on course now, then when will we? The answer is probably never. We could have got a proposal like this up easily 2 years ago, but the truth is - we didn't need to back then because people were using the service in the right spirit.
As for ssuk, I know you guys have history. I remember all that. He does rub people the wrong way sometimes but I've worked with him and he generally comes from a good place and works hard even if he says dumb shit from time to time that I don't agree with. Your screenshot is a good example :)
PS - When were the whales/witnesses pushing SSG around?
