His tone was extremely passive aggressive and rude. I don’t think he made the site better - he contributed to the downfall

Shog9, excellent comment and very apt. I have to point out that you were also part of the toxicity and bad tone. You very much were part of the problem. Moderation and staff were very much the downfall.

I accidentally many years ago fell into a job where I worked on parking automation and fee computers for parking garages, airports, cruise terminals and rental car agencies. It’s a niche but fledgling industry. Not many people know how much software runs parking garages and the like. It didn’t pay very well but the firmware was written in Turbo C and the GUI portion was written in Borland C++ Builder 5 with Delphi. There is a surprising amount of sensor integration with inductive loops and sensors from gates, etc
I tried to create some modernized software at that company with a License Plate Inventory application product using C#, VB .Net, SQL Server, SQLCE (for Windows XP Embedded) and ActiveSync. We sold a hundred copies of it.
