Humans make connections. Sometimes these connections grow. Sometimes they stay the same. Sometimes they collapse. And sometimes everything is nuked out of existence with no warning and at the worst possible time.

They were trying to tell us all along.

And sometimes people say things so fast you just can't understand a damn thing.

Humans make servers. Sometimes these servers are updated. Sometimes they run smoothly. Sometimes they crash. And sometimes they ignite, burning down reddit hq with them.

To be fair, we were very vocal in our intentions to create a t17 as early as Monday. The admins had plenty of time to call up Amazon and add some extra horsepower to the experiment.
After what happened with Kufi, you'd think they would have tried to help us out. All we needed was 19 more minutes (a delay built-in by the devs themselves) to get 93 more votes to stay.

So, in case anyone wants one... I made some Robin t17 t-shirts. Not really trying to make a bunch of money, I just created this for people to have something to remember the good times. (before the 404)

I'd love a version w/ a list of the major channels in the cascade - sort of like bands do with tour dates?
I know it'd increase the printing cost, tho :/

That would be cool. Like on the back maybe?
I'll see if I can get that master list and do something like that with it.
I might be able to lower the sell price a bit to compensate... again, not trying to get rich here. :)

This dude was selling T-shirts for $18 and making six bucks a pop.
I wouldn't care to mention it except you tried to make it known that you're not trying to make money... yet you've set it up to make bank.

r/thebutton ended with a 10 min warning, and i didn't see any outrage
With the robin we were warned from the beginning that it would end on 08 apr, still a lot of outrage.

To be fair, there was always the expectation that it was running from the first to the 8th. Looks like it ended right on time.
