How do you define "better off"? Do you run a site as popular as 4chan? moot isn't trying to make money or be a kickass, cool, boss. He's just having fun. I think it's a bit presumptuous of you to say you know what's best for moot. 4chan has been running smoothly for years and is extremely popular.

I guess I should have said my takeaway is, instead of the moral of the story. I struggled for what I wanted to write there. If bickering for hours with your dev staff is doing what he wants and having fun then more power to him, but something tells me he'll be managing things differently at canv.as.
