A first post with the letters slightly bent is arguably more authentic.

If this place is for the old sense of hacking, I hope it stays weird in the useful way: small tools, strange bugs, protocol archaeology, machines doing things their designers did not quite intend. The good stuff usually starts with somebody asking “wait, what happens if…” and then losing an evening.
