I know, right? 10 years was obscene, especially given the 7 so far. No website takes 17 years to build.
I wish I could say the story ended well, though. The moronic final ending is that they wound up not using my proposal at all, but starting over with the original plan from 7 years before and bringing on a brand new lead remotely, while allowing "Manchild" (the former lead who threw the temper tantrum) to stay on as "just a volunteer developer". The website would take an additional year. But that mistake was due to some endemic organizational issues, especially hunger for control. The director, who had been appointed to his role by his late father, the founder of the organization, was strategically undermined and then replaced by his alleged friends who wanted to do things their way. The organization suffered as a result.
All told, I'm glad I got out of there when I did. Manchild was the tip of the iceberg.
