Totally hear you on the Tiny Boards site. We don’t view DN as a job board, but the job board there is one of the job boards we own, so the team there decided to list it. DN is still listed on the core Tiny site—we view it as an individual company :-)

And worst of all, the servers we use to run DN are powered by the tears of designers! Muahhahhahahhahahaha

Seriously though, I would love to understand why you think I'm Mr. Burns reincarnate. We have grown Dribbble from a team of 10 to 30+ people, the majority of whom are focused on building new features and growing the community. Definitely not doing nothing—we are pushing full steam ahead and are all ears to hear any feedback you guys have.

@Martin - Thanks for the nudge.

Guys: I am so sorry you feel that DN has devolved. My/our version of events would be that we acquired it, rebuilt it from the ground up, redesigned it, made a ton of feature improvements, but then got a little sidetracked with the Dribbble acquisition and haven't had a chance to do more with DN.

I would really like to see what we can do to improve DN and am all ears if any of you have any ideas, want to push some initiatives, etc. Also open to having community members help build/improve the site (paid of course) and adding more mods.

Please feel free to reply here, tweet at me (@awilkinson) or email me (andrew@metalab.co).

Sorry you guys feel we blew it. That sucks.

Most we own large chunks or controlling stakes of, a few, like Buffer, we have invested in.

So excited about this!

Ah, yeah. I remember that project. We were pretty small and disorganized back then, and we had the guy who was running the whole design team leave on short notice. I'm sorry we let you guys down.

Hey Alec,

Bummed to hear that! When and where did we cross paths?

We're trying to figure out how to best implement something.
