It's at this time that I encourage others like me to help out where they can. If people can come by and get a couple hours of enjoyment from time to time then maybe that's all RoseBum needs to be. I setup a legacy VCTF server for that reason. What I do believe is there are people like me that think about RoseBum from time to time and get a little nostalgic. I realize RoseBum's time has passed and I would be shocked if more than 100 people cared about this. It feels like a lifetime ago but there was a time where Roseanne's Bum meant a lot to a lot of people and I would prefer it were remembered that way. I don't want Roseanne's Bum to be remembered as a place where admins blatantly deleted users and posts or allowed spam bots to pollute the forum and gallery to the point of total data corruption. The problems came from the top down and I was unfortunately powerless to do anything about it. The last few years of posts had a general atmosphere of negativity and for good reason. It was disappointing to see how disgraced the old site became in its final years. I don't have the ability to restore the old site and forum but I don't think I would want to anyway. I didn't want to risk another squatter turning it into some fake blog again so this year I participated in the auction and won. The RoseBum domain is shockingly valued very high which is probably due to its age and historical traffic. As expected, the squatter let the domain expire. It's hard to believe a full year has passed since expired and was purchased by a squatter.
