gollark: Well, now that I accidentally managed to get around Hydronitrogen's banning of me, yes.
gollark: Anyway. Needing to move to *yet another* place to coordinate a move, *and* not actually being able to tell people "hey we're trying to go to X other server" is a significant barrier.
gollark: What?
gollark: Wow, I made node.js break!
gollark: The forums aren't really *used* much, compared to actually being able to talk about it on this place.
