I mean, the bloke at the ad agency who set it up.
I felt a bit bad for him.
But apparently he was fired not so much for setting it up, but for setting it up and GOING ON HOLIDAY whilst it ran.
Lesson is: don't book a controversial project and then take a holiday so you're not there to answer questions from your bosses as to "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"

Life isn't fair.
I'll bet he has a better job now because of it. Karma!

cannibalised his earlier project called "tsluts" to throw it all in with b3ta.
This was my first mistake.

This was my first mistake.

it was a blog and EMAIL CHAT GROUP.
and this email list (80 or so people chatting to each other) - including me and Joel was the basic bit of fire I used to start it going. There was a bunch of us - all keen on making fun(ish) web things.

I just want to say in all seriousness, by creating b3ta, you have enriched my life in unmeasurable amounts. I sincerely thank you.

B3ta has brought me much joy, and wasted much of my employers' money over the years!

But yeah I echo said sentiments from above - b3ta was here when my head was in a bad place - more than can be said for many others and its still here (again, more than can be said for many others) :-)

I like the fact that you don't have the lowest user ID on here, nor have been registered the longest (database shenanigans not withstanding).

I guess they all got jobs and grew up and that.
I'm on 17 years, 4 months and 14 days, so not far behind and still not grown up.
