[Insert Ellipses Here]

[flyingfox17]

Well, it's been over a week, with more or less no one having posted. I believe this place is now officially dead (part of me feels I'm partly to blame for this, but that's another matter). So I'm calling it: Time of departure: 3:49 P.M.
Oh well. At least we can hold a nice funeral for the message board. They'll be a service, food, a priest to give long, impersonal statements, and the dancers from the MCR "Helena" music video -the ones with the black umbrellas in the rain. If you've seen it, you have to admit they'd look cool.

In theory, if and when we all do meet up, and establish connections, it pretty much would establish the death of the board.

Which would make even harder for anyone new to find the people on here. Provided, of course, that we missed any.

Any word on the fliers, by the way?

I did notice the long lack of posts with some annoyance....
Although, I do check the site daily.

But, we haven't *all* met up yet, since I'm still in college and right now this is the only way I can get a hold of anyone at this point.....

[flyingfox17]

You're not the only one who does. Thought at this point, I'm wondering if anyone else still even visits this place. I may have to start hunting them down, so to speak....

Either that, or just declare the whole thing dead, as stated earlier (and it's not even my board, but if no one else is around to...)

[Dragonfox]

Maybe we should just email everyone? [minus you & I of course]

[flyingfox17]

It is a thought, I'll give it that much, but when a forum gets to the point where people have to literally drag back the other members, it's pretty much dead.
Still, it would be nice if we could at least find some way of keeping everyone in contact. Even if it isn't through a message board.

Well, I do have my LJ, even if it isn't updated that much over the school semester.

I'll post on there when I'm going to be in DE and looking for people to hang out with.

If it helps any, I've already added you to my LJ account (in case you had't noticed).

Okay, this is taking too long. This board is still dying. As is our little community. And MCR is booked out until June. I can get the dancers around early March, though.

Hmm. Might make for an interesting get-together theme, especially if it's our first - We'll all gather round to mourn the death of the message board.

And then revive it, or something.

There'll be food, of course. Though we would have to wear black...

[flyingfox17]

So - All in favor of dragging back former members of this board, kicking and screaming, if need be?

I'm totally here.

[Sontock]

Yeah, but look at how much poking it took us to GET you here.

Aye!

Especially if I get to tie them up. ^_^ Can we make a little dungeon hotel-sort of area to keep runaway members prisoner safe?

Just as important is establishing why they left. Namely, if people forgot, lost interest, were unable to find the place again - *stops to glare at Izzy* - or just became lazy.

One idea is still to start a mailing list - that way, there's a chance of reaching people as long as they still visit online.

There's also the possibilty of hunting the people down in the real world, capturing them, and poking them with sharp objects in painful ways until they agree to return. But there's a good chance there's laws against that. So we'll stick with the peaceful methods or persuastion.

Besides, I don't have enough tasers to go around.
