The Day, The Forums.... Died

[DepthBlade]

Every community is unique Once again nothing is dieing its just as lively as ever!

[kbilik]

Good stuff. This should have been said in the beginning. While the forums appear to be dieing for some (for their own personal reasons), they look as normal as ever to me and many others.

In other words, it will die if you let it. Doesn\'t mean other people will not take interest in the forum and move it in the direction they like it to go. And yes it is evolving - so you might find something you like if you are patient and passively (like I am) take part in a few discussions that spark interest. It\'s up to you.

[Auran]

Well said my friend Annah. I often wonder how come we didn\'t become friends right from the begginning? Or maybe it is our long conflict that has made us appreciate each other better. .  

awww.... group hug!
But without me, I\'m not \"like that\"

Pah ! Get over here and hug uncle auran .

No, not excused.
You come here so rarely, and when you do, you go post a general nostalgia post!?! Bah, we want your speeches,

Heh! Heh!

Thanks Lynxy man. I didn\'t know I was much anticipated.  I am grateful that you like my speeches but a sizeable segment of the populace is allergic to them and will try to kick my hiney if I tried to offload any on them .  

And yes I do come around less, thats partly why I gave up active memebership in guilds. I have a terrible medical condition known as \"Employment\" .  In this condition, perfectly good and lazy guys, like me, suddenly get up at 6 AM in the night and \" go to work\" 8o. Its sad I tell you .  But I do come around here even if I don\'t post much. Like annah pointed out : Once you are in this community and learn to love it there\'s no going back.

[Efflixi Aduro]

Teh, tell that to the people who left

I have a feeling we\'ll be seeing a lot of \"old friends\" when CB comes out.  Remember, be nice to people or they will leave and then you wont have somone to pick on

[lynx_lupo]

Employment. *[Scar voice] shivers with fear*

And I agree with Annah(, it\'s the community that makes this experience sweet). Planeshift will become more and more a game and that has some downsides.

Oh BooHoo... Change is good...it\'s always good...not matter how bad it is it\'s good...for it is change...for if the forums were always the same it would not be fun anymore after a while...So let\'s celebrate! Helleluya...the forums have died! The forums have risen! Yes say it Helleluya! Helleluya, Lord!

(goes to endless mumbo-jumbo)

[Auran]

No. Change is not good or bad. Change is inevitable. Good or bad is subjective to the individual\'s capability or desire to exploit the change.

BTW Savion is a very good rhymster and in addition the point he puts forward is also pretty valid when you look at it from the intended viewpoint. The closest example i can give you of what situation the song tries to capture is \"Old age\". After you see the ones that you knew and identified with dissappear one by one, taken by the hand of death, and you feel like a stranger in a world  you once moulded with your own hands. It is then you feel that your world has died. Replaced by a strange construct which you are not a part of.

Also I don\'t believe savion commits entirely to that view. It is just one of many that he sees and the one he chose to represent in rhyme. So don\'t think he is telling you that the forums have died. It is a perspective that is shown not the absolute truth.

Thats my two cents.......

Change cn be bad. Like the sun exploding. Theres no doubt that change is inevitable but it is up to us to make it good or bad.  Im sure that the PS community dieing will be a bad thing.  All the members here must stay active and vist as much as they can.  In the four months I have been here the most people I have seen on is like 15 and that was a while ago.  I couldnt belive it when I saw that the forums had 117 people on at once!  But, none of us can really say if the forums are dieing/changing untill CB comes.  For all we know, everyone will come back and there will always be at least 100 people on. But of course the forums and game could stay the same and over time we could see everyone slowly faade away and leave.  Its up to us to keep this place as great as it is and to make it even better

yay an auran post \\o/ ...wait....*watchs everyone flock to auran with joy*

why do i get the feeling you\'ve planned this all along?

[Auran]

yay an auran post \\o/ ...wait....*watchs everyone flock to auran with joy*

Does that include all the Hot PS Chicks or just a representative sample as in bunny boy here. Come on ladies , you know  you love me . Dont be shy now Kada, Grono , Aelya and party . Rrrowf !!:D.

why do i get the feeling you\'ve planned this all along?

Eh! A feeling? Could i have been wrong in my appraisal of you seppy ?

I\'ll admit that on more than one occassion in the past I had felt that you were anticipating and preempting my moves. I generally don\'t expect people to understand my ways of working and a very few in PS have any clue about it.  On closer examination I came to the conclusion that it could either be your inherent chaos that makes it difficult to manipulate you or you might actually be able to make out patterns in what I did. I went for the worst case scenario in the second theory.

Now i see you doubtful in the analysis of my actions! You have known me better than most and still you wonder?! Do I need to rethink my hypothesis about you?

This is why I like you seppie. You have several facets. Ones that I have seen and others that moogla told me about. I am pleased to have you as my friend .

BTW: Haven\'t seen the moogle around much? Whats up ??


And Oh Yeah:

Change cn be bad. Like the sun exploding.

Even that can be good if you have uses for a \"busted ass\" sun. . The keyword is to \"use\" change.

Bad for us, but the starstuff will create new life, thus, the explosion is also good. It is all in the eye of the beholder.

[Efflixi Aduro]

So through our eyes its bad. See?

[faldrok]

Why is everyone surprised that Auran is back? Everyone [should] know that his deep-down passion for Kada, Grono, Aeyla, etc. etc. will not be lost and it will always bring him crawling back.

Aaah, a speech(or two, three, etc. ) by Auran isn\'t bad. In fact, it is good and wanted by everyone. Who doesn\'t like these Speeches by Auran, the woman-crazy maniac?

*looks at Devs and Mods*

Meh, maybe them, or the newer people that didn\'t experience the \"Cabal Promotional Speeches.\"

Back to the original-original-original topic. The song is quite good, but I agree with whoever said the haxorr or whatever part sux. Yes, I am too lazy...get over it.

Sun. Who needs the sun? The moon is a lot cooler(hehe, get it? ) anyways. Now, it would be bad if the sun exploded and destroyed the moon. Then, I would be pretty pissed.

Yes, this was all pretty much useless junk that has no real meaning or draws a flock of people to read this. Err... :rolleyes:

[seperot]

I blame it on the fact you\'ve been hiding like bin ladin and so i\'ve do pay attention to other things auran

as for your analasis....i\'d say the chaos one is for the most part accurate  although who knows...could be fooling you all

[snow_RAveN]

Oldbies and Newbies are like the stars, sooner or latter new ones will pop up in the sky, some stars disappear for some time and appear again, while others just dont really go anywhere untill they explode.

As for suns ... luckly for us i think we\'ll proly get wiped out by a comet befo ... oh wait a min ... i think i like the sun much better now
