OK. I'm using 1024-bit IEEE floating point so I don't have resolution enough to register how much more important the rest of your sentence was.
Comeback after a year or two away from chans

Josh accepted donations to create the software with the understanding that it would be licensed under the AGPL. Money ran out before the software was complete. Jim Watkins, the owner of Zig Forums, offered to fund the rest of the development of the software, but on the condition that it be proprietary, with the copyrights assigned to him or his company. Josh refused because it wouldn't be fair to the donors who expected the software to be AGPL. That's the story that Josh tells, anyway.
Jim Watkins is the owner. I think his son Codemonkey runs the place.
Yes. Though, to his credit, over a period of months after the upgrade fiasco, Codemonkey fixed a lot of stuff and excepting a few bumps in the road, the site has run well enough since then.
I don't know what the future holds for Zig Forums. Apparently Jimbo lost an important court case in Japan against Hiroshima Nagasaki, the proprietor of 4chan, who had his old chan stolen from him by Jim many years ago. I haven't seen much discussion of what that might mean for this place, though.

He tweeted last year he was done with chans and converted to Christianity or something.

I see. Are you suggesting that that's the future for Zig Forums as well?

i think it will be the future for everywhere. we will have to log in just to get online at all in the future. all anonymity will be banned.

If that happens, I'll just stop using the internet for anything but stuff that's necessarily tied to my identity anyway, like checking my work email. I already don't use a lot of services that other people seem to believe are essential, like social media, and streaming media, and online games. I'd regret not being able to access news and information, but I can always read books. I've been meaning to learn Greek and Latin and maybe Sanskrit and read a lot of the classics in the original, so I guess I'd finally have more time to do that.
