"Why it was there" is something that matters to people, plural. Knowing why it was for some people doesn't rule out the possibility that you don't know why it was there for other people.

Detroit never came back to what it was, but it became something different and in many ways it's better than it was at any other time in the last 50 years.

It's unusual to require or even ask for personal information joining name, email, and phone number to register, especially for a free site from an untrusted source. There's no way I'm putting my information in there.

Why does it use port 5432 by default? That's the default port for PostgreSQL. Does this use PostgreSQL?
