In fact:
"There's also an archived post from 2008 that someone dug up, which is very much in the b3ta tradition of unearthing old forum gold.
The community seems to still be ticking along, if quietly — one post even notes

Based on the site's archives, mr horrible has been active since at least 2005 and continues to post as recently as 2023. Their user tagline appears as "up yours, dickface" — a bit of irreverent self-description that fits the site's tone. They also display the badge "I helped save b3ta!", indicating they contributed during one of the site's fundraising efforts to keep it running.

I hadn't quite understood that you were artisanally hand-feeding it in there, I thought it was some kind of gigantic, automated, all-points scrape. I'm sorry for shouting. You can do no wrong and I am obviously devoted to you
