alright, just spitballing here

we find a domain name that really seems like it shouldn't be a valid domain name. say, toiletemoji.gov but with an actual toilet emoji instead of the words toilet/emoji. this may require some research

next, we go all-in on the [you] tags and word filters and scripts that change everyone's avatars into clowns and whathaveyou

and then we double down. and just keep going. until the place is a total funhouse. posts that float randomly from thread to thread. secret subforums where only bots post to each other. one day a month when the entire forum is pitch black. you get the idea.

toiletemoji.gov becomes a phenomenon. it's a roadside attraction. and a new lifestyle. people flock here because they *have* witness it first-hand, and stay because the rest of the internet appears lifeless by comparison. avant-garde posters from across the web are drawn here because it's the first and only forum where they might realize their true visions.

and then we set up a patreon and use the proceeds to finance the purchase of skeleton.party

I was going to promise to do all the work and then flake out at the last minute but I figured Ashenai or [you] would probably do it

So, I think it's because I'm going an HTTP redirect, so the browser gets back the redirect request the first time before it actually redirects. It seems that subsequent hits it has cached the redirect and doesn't do it until the cache expires.

The good thing about taking on too much, is that it's a struggle. When you're done with the struggle, you realize your capacity for undertaking things has increased.

It's an opportunity for growth.
