AFP seems to be slower than we are; no post for nine days, no new thread for a month. ABP is overrun by trollery and spammery. Pfui. --Old Dickens (talk) 21:02, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
Edit: It has three entries for the year 2023, L-space is moribund, is the wiki the successor? --Old Dickens (talk) 04:04, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
