Has that happened yet? I thought it was supposed to have happened by now

It needs to be viable first, which obviously won’t happen when the management keeps stumbling into PR nightmares weekly.

It nearly happened, but then we protested and tanked the stock price to fuck Spez for fucking us. Now most of the subs are poorly moderated by mods that don't care about their community. Content is suffering and revenue is dropping. Spez pissed on his golden goose and we decided to speed the process up so he couldn't sell before it drowned.
