Oh great! We should advertise it on the different communities. When's it live until?

Why final moments? What happened to it?

To end Place, they remove all colours except white. This way, Place dies a natural death as soon as the last non-white pixel turns white.

Anyone know how the giant Fuck Spez in the end was able to place black pixels? It was particularly noticable around the U.

No if you look at the time line the deleting already started and they somehow managed to place black pixels for the f u and part of the c while everyone else was only able to place white. So my guess is a) obviously there were scripts involved and b) they figured out how to circumvent the place only white pixels of the undocumented api
