I vote the photo gallery stays as a reminder to all of what might have been. Besides, didn't qntmfred already say it wasn't a bandwith issue?

Funny thing is today was my first day on a new job in FL, and a new coworker heard me spelling out my snapchat name and asked, "are you on thewolfweb?" Spent a few minutes stressing what dirt I might have on here, but realized I've probably not conducted myself too poorly. Just weird to have that happen. Also learned a user on here whose username I recognized had built an entirely fake persona, and I found this while anticipating reading through the process of someone trying to portray themselves as someone they weren't.

I would be willing to pitch in a reasonable amount. Unfortunately that would come with the condition that BubbleBobble never be allowed here again (or any of the few, relentless trolls). Much nostalgia, good times, etc. Not a single positive experience granted to him and I nearly stopped coming here specifically because of how fucking annoying he is/was. All other forums I enjoy have no tolerance of people who get off on ruining the experience for everyone else, and aside from all the rest of the work that this place has become to the very few who do to keep it running, I can understand why there hasn't been any action along those lines. Tdub thrived on chaos once upon a time, anyway.

I'd totally be willing to MSPaint major donors in my little bit of free time, but that would be too slow-going to be reasonable (and I don't know that many care for the MSPaint portraits).

It's a sad thing to think that the place might go, but feels like it's been a long time coming. Kudos to the true pillars of this society. Well over a decade of good times ruined by a few bad apples.

I really don't know what I'd do without synapse, tgl, and dtownral calling me a dumbass in every TSB thread. I'd pitch in some to help.

So is someone setting up a gofundme page or anything?

I suppose if it can get to 20, it'll be able to be "retro" and maybe some kids will start using it.

Of course it will all be your fucking kids.

Instead of everyone promising money, can we entertain some solutions to the underlying problems?

> Start TWW Foundation. We need gatekeepers for legal crap. Someone wants their drunken, nude photos removed from 15 years ago or Greg H comes knocking again we should insulate the maintainers, mods, and users.

> Make the financials make sense. If we're taking in $30/month, our net hosting costs needs to be half that. Back it with square, paypal, etc -- something reputable.

> Site 3: Linux + PHP + jQuery + Bootstrap. Very few aesthetic changes, but bring it up to a modern, maintainable, standard that at least functions on a phone or tablet without incessant zooming.

> Basic functional improvements -- like a toggle for NSFW photo auto-load. I freaking hate 9gag, but their model of click to see NSFW stuff would offer users on their break at work some protection from shenanigans. Also a flagging feature. We shouldn't have to bear a whole thread of BUY AN AD. X number of flags, system hides it for admin review. Yes it could be used maliciously, no I don't care. The "wild west" feel makes this place great. Email on thread update. Possibly an app, or at least a chrome notification hook-in.

> Open Source the base code on github/bitbucket so the community can contribute to it.

> Foster an online and in-person community. I wouldn't mind having a beer or meeting up during half time in the lot for a corn hole tournament with most people on here. At the same time, I don't want you chumps knowing my aliases on the site, either. I think the truth is there are a lot of missed opportunities where people have some extra tickets to an event that TWW Foundation could easily pass on to promote itself and NCSU and have both orgs benefit.

> Blow the remainder of the financials doing something great. Sponsor a free food truck across from campus. Free concert. Something that directly benefits current students. Make a donation on behalf of us all to a cause - maybe not the Trump campaign, but I think we can all agree on buying lunch for the first 50 people to donate blood after the Orlando attacks, etc. There's no reason TWW can't be something we have pride in.

> Anybody and everybody can join for free

Inbox me when they get the git repo up - I would love to contribute.

Like others have said, tww was pre-social networking. Once myspace, facebook, twitter, etc came along tww was on the way out. Facebook would have failed too, if it had remained a social network for students at a select few universities, or only college students.

Yeah, but all these other networks strive to connect people with similar interests. Fuck that, diverse melting pots produce the best shit. Laughed way harder at TWW in it's prime than I do now than any of these idiots produce via snapchat.

Is there any other server that it could move to that would allow it to remain rated R/XXX? I know that accboards and statefans both kind of morphed into packpride which eventually turned into the scout.com NC State page. Something like that would be great as long as we could keep a chit chat style forum where you can type, bitch, shit, fuck, ass, etc and then post porno below it.

if this is truly ending... i just want to set the record straight. anyone who has trolled me or been trolled by me... it was all a game. i'm actually easy to get along with and respect all opinions. i have never actually had any ill will towards anyone. there were a few times the internet fun bled into my real life and that is unfortunate, but i don't hold it against anyone.

and if it keeps going, troll on. love you guys.

^Same!

I know I have met a lot of people on here in real life, but I don't want to see this end because I haven't met a lot of you in real life either and that is great. This is a great place to come to ask questions and make comments about stuff when you don't want to say it on facebook, or twitter because your entire family tree will start developing bad opinions of you.

It will be sad if it goes, I've met some tdubbers in real life, however, one of them has been my wife now for over 9 years, and we met through PM's on here.

So I guess thanks.
