This Forum's Dying

Postby Arloest » Fri Aug 08, 2008 8:36 pm

Discuss.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Despite Fritz's short post, he makes a good point. This has been going on for a long time. The IRC is a much better place to just chat with people, rather than having to wait for replies on a forum.

Also the people there are much better.

I hear this sentence all the time on GUA. ALL THE TIME. being an admin doesn't help.

This forum's not large enough to be as active as others, so a small drop isn't surprising when one of the main posters (rabid) is on holiday. I don't know how many others are out and/or inactive, but it's enough that it seems like its dying.

It doesn't have as much of a draw anymore probably because O&M is ending, but we need to figure out what to adapt this site into (as a forum, of course) to try making it fit and draw more people.

we've already had ideas, but let's throw some more ideas around.
[00:34:00] <Dermy> I do love to manipulate the standard rules of language for opportunistic effect
[00:34:06] <Dermy> Like a grammar hyena, I am
[00:34:16] <Dermy> Munching on the tasty entrails of tradition

[22:26:20] <MuffinSticks> I'm a chocolate muffin with white ears and a striped black and red tail
[22:26:35] <MuffinSticks> And exactly 6 chips

My DA account, for those who care enough to look/click/etc.
And my FA account as well!

Death is but a doorway, time is but a window. We will reemerge from the beyond, we will return twice as strong and we will conquer this pitiful orb covered in filth.

I wanted to say that, but I thought the sentence itself was enough.

That actually would keep me away more, I think. Notice that I tend to log out when the chat devolves into an "All Woof, All the Time Channel."
