    my god.. clicked on my qbn profile and saw that it's been 15 years since I joined.

    Made me think how much this place changed. I remember when I joined QBN it was when I was in college and a friend of mine was with me in a class and he showed it to me.

    This place changed my life profoundly. I have met people here that changed my life in a way I can't ever repay.

    Ponyboy (Kev) you were one of those people. Love you buddy.

    Also, this place was such an inspirational place, with creativity, people, there was no politics, no social justice crap whether you are for one side or the other. We were all helping each other and talking about design, tech and this was almost always the focus. I've met people here I worked with for almost a decade in entertainment industry and amazing talent.

    There is some of it now, but man a lot more negativity and I also succumbed to that many times. I do miss those days.

    I wish politics and all this stuff is avoided because it leads to negativity and such a toxic relationship among all people here which I think even with such strong political opinions do so with best intentions.

    So I've decided not to partake in that part going forward (jokingly/trollingly or otherwise) and just enjoy the things I always loved on QBN. Talking about web, design, tech etc.

    15 years, fuck me time flies.

    • 15 years back, the internet was a lot more exciting, we were also 15 years younger and some of the work being created had never been made before.PhanLo
