for example, the most based website to ever be created by mankind.
The main notable thing about textboards is that no one ever uses them.
There was a single instance with probably 2 retards pretending to be 2 dozen, over 2 decades ago.
Now they are primarily a means to wash dirty server money.
A wise man once said that Tower or Babel is... Bad.

It's good that way.
I don't have to do anything as per nothing ever happening.

Imagery as per "Chen" (Chen/橙 <-translates to-> Some Touhou (Touhou/東方 <-translates to-> Threat To Society) character who happens to share the degradation of "chan.")
The icon, I just ripped it from Danbooru.
I can change between the default themes, but it should be saved in the cookies for your choice.
The Pseud0ch & VIPPER themes are just disgusting, and after a second look, I'll probably set the theme from Futaba to Toothpaste, per the green association with Chen.

Man:
After the Tower of Babel was abandoned, one Man wandering the lands came upon ruins of it and decided to explore it. He had a blanket, tightly
rolled and hanging around his shoulder, crudely made bronze knife, one piece of long linen tunic and a tiny Mouse for a pet. He would share all
the food and water he would find with his Mouse equally, if a Mouse couldn't eat as much as him, he would also stop eating and save it for later
if it was preservable in the heat, if not, he would just discard it without a care in the world.
The Tower was so eroded that it looked like a natural mountain, because the winds were harsh in those lands due to lack of mountains to South
and West, and the sand would fill the holes if it got to them, but there were clear outlines of baked clay bricks to the North-East, and the
Tower stood high in the plain. As the Man walked in, most halls and rooms were illuminated by many windows, architecture looked spectacular,
like the most wise, strong and hardworking men of the ancient times united in order to build it, which was the case. But as the Man went
further into the ruins with Mouse on his other shoulder, he saw clear signs of damage, repairs and improvisation made by later generations of
builders who were clearly less qualified in their craft. It was obvious that this formerly magnificent work of art will become just a petty
mountain, nowhere near huge as natural one, in centuries to come. People already abandoned it, when newer generations forget that it existed,
they'll gather once more to build a new Tower of Babel, but lower in quality and height, weaker in structure and materials, lesser in glory and
style, because as much as physical form decays, psychological form and spiritual form decay too at different rate depending on type of society.
What happened to this ancient Tower to be in this state of decay, the Man wondered as much as his Mouse as they walked and looked around. Did
the great architects of old times also decayed, beyond simply dying out, why did newer generations, their descendents failed to maintain it,
maybe they wanted to ruin it intentionally, there were many questions, but there was no answers except for guessing from subjective experience
and deriving ideas from the provided context, a dead pile of clay bricks. Intelligent design, simplicity and robustness of older work was
opposing the newer repairs which were riddled with dumb decisions, complexity and fragility, quickly made just to "get the work done", with not
a single rational thought behind it, no foresight into how it would undermine future use or bring shame on those smart ancient builders. Was all
this a mistake in the begining, should such a structure even be built, for what purpose, are we closer to God by building it, are we further
away from God by building it, does this technology even help us in any way, questions continued piling up as much, or even more, than those clay
bricks. Will all these questions also become a dead pile of bricks, aged and ruined in the future, so their significance and validity won't be
recognized by future generations? Well, that's the first question that both Man and Mouse knew the answer for, it was a clean "Yes".
Mouse:
In the short span of time of 70 years or so, the world is filled with dead programs. I don't like to use terms like "software" or "engineer" in
context of programming because it gives us too much credit in a field where mistakes are preventable and low cost, unless some fucking retard
shares it with half the world or intentionally obfuscates it. Everyone makes mistakes, mathematicians, physicists, historians and biologists,
but in areas where science has an impact on society, which is pretty much every single science (not modern bullshit ones coming from the West),
the impact can injure or kill living human beings (and jews and reptilians alike). If the reader has 3 functioning brain cells, it's obvious
that in the Man chapter I actually talked about programming, assuming that the same reader knows about me. What happens when those mistakes are
deliberately made, in order to achieve some end goal, at the harm of the user or at advantage of the company or group of people?
In the current year of our Lord 2025 He be blessed, there are many old games that can't run on modern hardware due to limitations of older one,
which is out of sale for clear reasons (no one wants to lose money, we must always advance, we must always invent, we must always be better?),
but that's the same as book burning (everyone shouts "nazis burned books" in their tiny little head right now, read at least 30 history books
(not pseudo-archeological ones (and no fucking aliens please)) before saying anything more about that topic), always harmful, because all
civilizations that forgot their history, roots and ancestry are doomed to repeat mistakes (notice how many times I used the word "mistake" up
until now). As I'm personally not against all technology, you'd agree that we must distinguish technology that produces advancement in standard
of living versus the ones that break our values, culture and pride (pride in positive sense, if there is one). Okay, who the hell even cares
about old games except few nerds like me? What about programs used in medical machinery, factories, vehicles (cars, planes, boats), spacecrafts,
are those worth a damn, because they can directly put people in danger? Don't worry, few "feeders and breeders" dying here and there isn't a
great loss, higher beings with more papers than us won't be in factories, their medical treatments are on a different level, they travel more
safely than we do, no big deal, believe me that I'm not envious because I have different concept of worth and value, even if I'm not a monk who
owns nothing. How will current "AI" technology affect both us and future generations (it's neither artificial nor intelligent, it just stands
for "another pajeet")? Who the hell knows at this point, lets not speculate alright, we'll just fuck around and find out like usual, with few
casualties probably.
What happens when a group of smart people make a big program, whatever it may be. The moment the communication between them stops for political,
intellectual or cultural reasons, the same faith awaits the project as it was the case with Tower of Babel. Newer generations of maintainers
will either fuck everything up or start their own new shiny project from scratch in the meme language of the year thanks to cancer like LLVM,
or the entire project will be become abandoned. In the age of the "AI", it's a difficult question if you should share your source code with
others or not, because you might lose the source code, and if you share it, it can become food for "AI" degenerates who don't respect licenses
like GPL (and many others too).
Keep in mind, I don't feel like explain everything above from Man chapter, if you think about it long enough it'll make sense, it's quite clear
allegory I believe. Also forgive me for not having patience to list every time some program hurt or killed a person, you can find it yourself,
I'm not a scientist to list all of my sources in order to make a thesis or antithesis, and doing your own little research will surely waste you
time, don't be scared, you won't learn anything new. Reverse engineering isn't enough most of the time to revive older programs, corporations
are even harder to enforce into obeying specific laws and rules than individuals, no matter how contra-intuitive that sounds. It would be nice
if people were interested more into older and simpler programs, instead of the new meme library, framework or language of the day.
