Adam Wan (Zaush) asks Twitter if anyone has experience with node.js, the platform he would soon thereafter decide to rebuild FA upon. A follow up tweet explains that he's "trying to wrap [his] head around it". He clearly doesn't know Node.js although he was hired to code it.

Ben Anderson posts to his Tumblr that he has been designing a new frontend for FA

Dragoneer is taken aback by his discovery of "fender bender", a Weasyl utility for importing one's watchlist from FA. He complains to Weasyl on Twitter. The name is later changed to "SOFT", a backronym.

FA announces it's looking for more admins and "documentation specialists".

In the journal comments, Freehaven questions that FA isn't asking for developers. Dragoneer responds that several devs have come on board recently. However this was never announced, and the new devs aren't shown on the staff page.  Dragoneer lied once again.

FA United 6

May 2013

Using donated hardware from the February donation, donated gift cards, and some extra cash, FA acquires two beefy new servers named Finn and Jake.

Feb 2013

FA asks for donations of hardware (mostly in the form of buying hardware from an Amazon wish list) to help "add redundant systems to the site".

The drive ends the following day, reporting over $5,000 in hardware purchased. The hardware is reportedly put to use in May, 3 months later.
