Uhm.. what the title said.

I lurk, but find little to respond to. *shrug*

Internet communities tend to be short lived, and the whole Lance and Eskimo business started in 2000 or possibly earlier, so here we are now.

At the beginning of these forums there were some people who had some Internet websites (like Chefelf, Heccubus and Slade) and their powers combined, plus the popular Reasons to Hate Star Wars, summoned Captain Planet drew in a diverse audience. But the people producing content gradually stopped and Lucas stopped making Star Wars movies, meaning no draw to the forums. So as the old people got bored/busy/forgetful/whatever and left, which is natural in any social space, there were no new people taking their place. What you see now is the bunch of crotchety old men (and Spoon) left over.

Of the "hosted forums" here, the only ones still serving fresh stuff are Yahtzee, whose work is discussed on the Escapist forums more than it is here, and JM Hoffman, whose name sounds like a law firm.

People used to mention pies during the days when I was still lurking, as though this was just a branch of the Weebl's Stuff forums.


I stuck around because I wanted to see proof of those pies. I'll probably be gone as soon as I see it.

Dead or in prison.
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."

Barend??? Thank goodnes you've returned!
I thought I was the last person who frequents this otherwise dead place. Except for trolls, that is

But seriously, I can't believe that all abandoned chefelfia. Where is Chyld? Jane Sherwood? Heccubus? SImeSublime?

In some cases I think that people finished college, got real jobs and real life and between kids, mortgage and car insurance there is very little time left for posting.

Shortly wedding dresses, after my parents moved from Pennsylvania to a remote rural area of Ohio near the Kentucky border, they began noticing dark areas of grass in the shape of circles. I saw one myself once when I visited them and teased that it looked as though a UFO had landed there. It would fade away and another would appear somewhere else some time later. One time a friend visited them and they showed them the odd circles of dark grass. The friend told them they are fairy rings. My mother went to the library to see what she could find on fairy rings and learned that folklore tells that if you stand in the center of a fairy ring at midnight during a full moon and make a wish, it will come wedding dresses true.
Some time Eve isk,,later, a new fairy ring appeared just a few yards from her house. (All the others had been out in the pasture.) There would be a full moon in a few days so she decided to see if the folklore tale was true. During the day she put a bucket in the middle of the ring so she could easily find the center at midnight. The night of the full moon she went to the bucket at midnight and made a wish. Within just a few short months her wish came Eve isk true.
My parents ffxi gil,had bought this property (140 acres surrounded on three sides by state game lands) and built a new home there so it pretty much depleted all of their savings. There was still so much that they dreamed of having there, but would not be able to do on my father’s pension. My mother’s wish was simply to have all the things they wanted for the property. One of those things was roads to the remote areas. Another was to have a garage and a third dream was to have a small lake on the ffxi gil property.
Soon wow power leveling,afterward, a company contacted them that was interested in some of the lumber on their property. They would pay for what they forested and promised not to rape the land that my parents loved so much. In order to get to the more remote areas for the trees they wanted to take they had to put in wow power leveling roads.
One day wedding dresses, my mother was talking to one of the owners of the company. He was telling my mother what beautiful property she had and what potential it had. He seemed to have developed a special fondness for my tiny 78 year old mother, and talked to her quite often during the month or so that they were there. My mother told him about her dream of a lake and he told her they had the equipment to do it and they would do it for her for no charge. They dug a deep and wide area out behind the first meadow and diverted water from a creek into it. My brother stocked it with fish and turtles wedding dresses abound.
With the money wow power leveling, they made from the sale of the trees they put up a three-stall garage. Some people may say that those things would have occurred anyway even if my mother hadn’t gone out into the yard at midnight during a full moon to make a wish. I guess we will never know. But another occurrence after that only strengthened my belief in fairies. Maybe sometime I will tell you a story of the fairy wow power leveling designers pictures.
