:Old Dickens, I'm not clear on the behind-the-scenes terminology here, as I wasn't ever part of the AFP world. (I lurked on ABP in the mid 2000s.)

I suppose [[User:Leo Breebaart|Leo Breebaart]] still maintains L-space. I don't know if he has any help, but nothing has happened there for years, so it wouldn't be much trouble. As I suggested, we might be the last working part. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 00:41, 18 May 2023 (UTC) | I suppose [[User:Leo Breebaart|Leo Breebaart]] still maintains L-space.

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)
