So I always thought as long as I've been on BYOND that Tom was the owner. Lummox is the new owner of BYOND right? He's a really nice guy I like him but what happened to change this?

BYOND doesn't need marketing or branding, my guy.
Lummy has his priorities straight with improving the capabilities and performance of the engine over silly stuff like that. Since Lummy took over there's been a noticeable uptick in competent developers and original, interesting projects being worked on. Besides: you can't go fishing with a leaky boat. | |

Yea.no. You can market for free, as long as you know what you're doing and actually have motivation to do it. Branding is also free, my boy.

Then why waste time and effort on telling people about all the fish you're going to catch when you don't have a boat to go fishing with? Time and effort would be better spent on getting the boat in order before hyping people about your fish, mi hombre. | |
If BYOND hasn't patched it's leaky boat up enough to start marketing in the million years it's been around it never will, so you're right marketing would be a waste of time, mie donne.

Not the checkmate you want, my guy.

But the checkmate we dream of, my lover.

I love this community I swear. Makes me miss a few people I used to kick it with on BYOND back when I was younger. And thanks for clearing my curiosity.
| |
Checkers, my guys
| |
YAHTZEE! My guys.
| |
I agreed to get paid by my guys.

No offense to Tom, but BYOND is in much, much, much better hands now. Tom was quite clearly tired of, bored with, and ultimately disillusioned with BYOND. Lummy has more skill, motivation, and a better vision for BYOND.
Just compare one year of Tom's feature additions to BYOND to one month of Lummy's -- there's no contest.
