This is going to sound selfish but all I ever wanted to do was write a story that one day someone would want to rec on Crack Van. It seemed to be to be the gold standard of reccing sites.

Maybe if I had spent more time doing a little reccing myself rather than worrying about having my own ego feed I could have contributed to the long life of this wonderful community.

I understand the struggle to keep abreast and ahead of platform trends—maybe this model was never going to survive—but maybe it'll be reborn another day in some other fashion which suits the form of the day.
