Some Real-Talk: Hawkspace After Dark Problems

EDIT:

So the discussion below pretty much goes as follows:

"I don't understand what is happening and I see problems with it."

"This is what this is about and let's work to answer those problems."

"Oh okay I get it now."

Feel free to review this at your convenience and follow up with your own versions of the above.

Real Talk: This entire sub forum seems like an actual bad idea.

Is there any reason this space exists here other than some convoluted byproduct of IRC in jokes?

Hawkspace, as I understood it, served a purpose. This "after dark" business just seems to be ignorable clutter at best.

I mean, I can get the "Ha Ha. Let's post even more nonsensical stuff" here - but isn't that literally what we already have with Hawkspace?

I'm going to sleep on it, but I am curious what the consensus behind the purpose for this space is.
