Fair enough, I can't say I don't wish he kept it.

That said given moot's nonexistent proficiency in PHP, he probably had enough things on his plate just keeping the site running, I can't imagine integrating recaptcha in the world4ch codebase would have been very fun..

Sure, but it's also not like he didn't have any opportunity to better himself. Moot never wanted to be leet, but if you're running the world's most popular Internet cesspool, maybe you should push yourself here and there to at least be able to contribute to the code.

I don't envy the challenges of non-technical founders/ceos/managers, but I also don't sympathize with them very much. The Internet is an amazing resource for learning things.
