Sorry if I have to disagree with you on some points or correct you.
You've been here for four months, which isn't long when it comes to gaining experience.
The people who complain don't do so because they enjoy it, but because they have a history of suffering that usually spans many years.
You can't possibly know most of the history these people have experienced with LC, and that's not a criticism of you.
Most of the threads and posts dealing with negative criticism and the reasons for it have been deleted.
Some were deleted unintentionally due to necessary backups, but most were deleted intentionally.
Also, you may not know that
@Heisenberg and
@Jack Of Blades are one and the same person, and those aren't the only usernames he uses / has used.
He is the owner of this website and has unrestricted control over the website's financial income, which he has not always used for the benefit of the site in the past.
So what you declare to be a leisure activity is in reality a paid job.
As for
@Apollo, he has also been getting paid for his work for some time now; at least, donations are being collected / requested to cover his expenses.
As for the mods, you're right, they and the uploaders do their work here voluntarily and without pay, and they rarely get the recognition they actually deserve.
But it is also a fact that in the past, many employees and members threw in the towel and turned their backs on the site because of the abuses that prevailed here and, in some cases, still prevail.
But as I said, you can't know that because the sources from which you could gather the missing information about these events no longer exist.
However, there is a statement about this that at least gives hope that this content will be restored.
However, this was made quite some time ago and to date nothing has happened in this regard.
So we continue to wait, who knows for how long.
But over the years, many promises have been made that have not been kept, either because they were impossible to keep or because there was no will to do so.
Only time will tell what the future holds, and
@Jack Of Blades will be judged by his actions to improve the situation, not by his words.
We will see if he can achieve his goals.
Some improvements have already been implemented, others announced.
Even though I think it's still a little too early for your “thank you” or words of praise.
But perhaps it could be an incentive to stay on course and not stray from the path again.
