Aye. It's also oddly reassuring. Modern tech has increasingly gotten rid of craftsmanship and even the ability to to repair anything you own, so to see people have found a new kind of space for artful bodging is nice. Even though I still go "Aaurgh!" every time I look at the picture.

Old: Reflecto-porn minefield, Mirror Maze in Victory Park
I haven't been able to pay attention to the game for a couple of months but @doubleodavey 's tag there was a retag, as I of all people should know. It was four years ago, but I'd really have thought the saga might have stuck in the minds of regulars (if you're new to BTOB and think I'm talking about the wrong tag... read on).
Just searching this thread for "Victory park" before tagging would have shown this and then Will wouldn't have been unfairly tagzumped. Because the map is never up to date, a quick search of the thread has become the way to check and avoid retags for a lot of veterans; it's why @Oliver Schick is so keen to remind people to properly give accurate name and street details when a tag is found.
Not so much a grouse (I mean, it wasn't my tag) but we've always tried to avoid retags, it's part of the culture of the game, so a reminder.
While I'm on the subject of BTOB history...
c00ps, could you perhaps upload your pictures to the forum? We've lost so many tag pictures because they were hosted elsewhere. Picture upload has been fixed recently, so should be plain sailing. It would be much appreciated.
@Oliver Schick If you check back, you'll find we lost a large number of tag pictures when the forum was migrated to Microcosm; all uploads were lost at that point (DK did at one point say he was going to fix this he never did). I'm not going to go do the analysis, but it's quite possible we lost more images to the forum than to third party image sites ;-) Sadly, the once famous dropout thread lost many of the best images.

Oh, that makes sense. Well, I mean, just a little sense. A very little sense. I guess somebody ran out of space on their PCB and just winged it.

It just seemed a silly way to be pedantic.

that it's derived from an old French word for companuon.
Um, what do you think the etymology of companion is? Go on, have a guess.

A few years ago, some paleontologists decided to make a [study}(https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0088458) of how non-avian therepods (a class of dinosaur) walked. Since they're all long dead, they had to be inventive. So...
