Yo! Thanks for creating/running the site! And also for not changing it. It doesn't need to change. I wish more websites would realize this.

The day that my program (Antrun) was on the frontpage of ticalc.org is still one of the biggest success-highs I've ever felt :)

Totally agree. Ticalc.org went through a few redesigns in the early years - v1 (1996): https://ticalc.org/about/oldticalc/ticalc1/ and v2 (1997): https://ticalc.org/about/oldticalc/ticalc2/ - but the current (v3) design from 1999 has aged very well and we've never felt the need to change it much.

We have over the years considered and rejected becoming more of a community hub (i.e. with a forum instead of just comments on news articles) - moderation is just not a battle we're staffed for.
