I snagged this domain on a whim, published a joke FAQ, and suddenly found myself featured in a global broadcast claiming I was working on a WordPress fork and leading a WordPress rebellion.

We’re very proud to announce that Vinny Green, a former WordPress community member, has started his fork, FreeWP. We strongly encourage anyone who disagrees with the direction WordPress is headed in to join up with Vinny and create an amazing fork of WordPress. Viva FreeWP!

I was never planning a fork, but the unexpected spotlight did spark a real idea: a worker-owned media organization for the WordPress ecosystem. I met with some movers and shakers looking for funding and alliances, and came up empty.

So now I’m at a crossroads. I either turn this domain into something real, pass the torch to someone who will, or let this storyline quietly fade into internet history.
