Yeah, I was already planning on self hosting an I2P mirror of my website before all this. But this actually motivated me to do it. So in a weird way, they got their wish. Just not in the way they were expecting.

You did right, he was really rude and accusing with everyone, I still don't understand what was the purpose of his thread if he doesn't wanted to know and debate (politely) about his point of view and the forum's members opinions

Btw, I wanted to thanks every forum members who participed to the thread for your great behavior, you're all replied and debated in a calm and civil manner, without insulting or provoking. I'm proud of you all  :D

I do take constructive criticism to heart but I didn't like the way that guy was acting bashing other people for liking a thing. Just too toxic behavior.

yeah. to shame people because it's not "easy" for them to self-host is just stupid. and i'm saying this as someone who thinks self-hosting is a good thing. i also didn't like how that guy undermined daniele's coding skills just because he was hosting on neocities and proboards. like HE MADE A VIDEO PLAYER WEBPAGE THAT LOOKS LIKE A TV! THAT IS SO COOL AND IMPRESSIVE! and you're gonna act like he isn't trying to learn about coding just because he isn't self-hosted on day 1.
