@ThirstenHowl when was the last time you ever heard of full sale disclosure from ANY business?

They never will say. That is usually in the sale contract as a Non disclosure agreement!

@DeWayfarer I'm only even asking because I've seen you make false statements on other posts here before (normally I just don't even say anything about it), such as claiming Apple acquired Safari from Mozilla and Google acquired Communicator from Netscape (neither of these claims are true) in this comment here:

https://similarworlds.com/groups/similar-worlds/5477871-Wow-SW-changed-the-banner-so-it-doesnt-take-up-half-the

So now on this current post it sounds like you are mostly speculating?

@ThirstenHowl of course I am speculating.

I don't claim claim have any association with the site, other than being a very long time user. Which the proof is in my profile!

And please do say what you think is not correct. Because like above, I usually can prove it, with examples even.

Those links I have bookmarked, from way back then.

Google this then: who did Netscape get both navigator and Communicator from?

It was Mozilla BTW!


The problem here is that both navigator and Communicator was beta tested on Mozilla. Mozilla was the prime tester and modifier the the whole project!



You wouldn't have even seen Navigator without beta testers like me! And there was thousands of us.

BTW I saved the whole AI chat if you want it! It's very long though and covers Google's errors on Safari. 🤣

I was a beta tester at Mozilla for both Navigator and Communicator. My Mozilla username has a infinity symbol for a join date.

I certainly know more history about the two then Google which will obfuscate the truth!

And if you think Google will tell you the full truth then you are far too trusting of Google. Apple most certainly won't either!

Google is evil itself! I know this because I was as well a member of dejanews which Google bought out.

This very username is archived on Google groups archive which was apart of dejanews back then.

@Selah Omg Hi!!! How have you been?

@SwampFlower Awwww thank you that's kind

@deadgerbil hmmm idk why i vividly remember that it closed and we had migrated to EP then EP closed! I also remember there used to be wikipedia pages on them

@offingg the timeline is EP being the original website, it closed for whatever reason, SW was created in like 2016 and people migrated here. I was never on EP tho

@deadgerbil I see! I might just not be remembering correctly

@MsSwan not always . It goes down when the hamsters that power the server get tired on their wheels.

@basilfawlty89

@offingg SW hasn’t shut down that I recall
But experience project existed before SW actually

@Kiesel I vividly remember that it has for a period of time. I even remember that similar worlds and EP had wikipedia pages. Not anymore!

@offingg maybe it did during a break I took from here

@deathfairy I remember it was similar worlds then experience project then that website and its founder announced they were shutting down? I was able to login here with my old username, so is it the same founders?

@ShenaniganFoodie No, literally, that's the feeling
