  • It’s important to note how we got here. In old English man just meant human. Wereman meant male and wifman meant female. Over time that “were” prefix got dropped and man now means male but the ambiguous meaning of humankind stuck around. In fact “human” comes from old french “of man”, again the non-gendered use of the word man.

    The point is to fix all these problems we just have to bring back the “were”. The progressive werewolves are way ahead of us on this issue.










  • That’s my biggest fear too. And even with archiving if you spend all that time growing a community and the instance just dies then you have to rebuild the community from scratch on a different server. It seems oddly risky because without secured funding who knows which instances might die and when.

    I think long term there might need to be some form of revenue from the site just to ensure needs are met and incentivize devs/admins to stick with it. But maybe the donations will surprise me and things will go smooth like wikipedia.
