can we please talk about something positive?? // Community

If I looked at the community newsgroup a month ago, and look at it now, I
must say I would be quite proud of your achievements. ;) It's like September
11th happened a few months late in here, but I've noticed the community
newsgroup is quite the community. ;)
Now, bear with me here, and breathe. Yeah, it might be the end of the world
as we know it (*pauses and mentally sings the awesome Ramones song*), oh
yeah, where was I. A short time ago, you were all bickering and flaming each
other over HTML and off topicness, and now, it doesn't even matter. I've
never seen as minimal of swearing as I do in the 400 threads with 500
replies you all have made in about one and a half days (although it's a
bother to read). Why did it take such a "tragedy" to have this happen? Hmm?
Well, I'm glad it did either way, because it's somewhat enjoyable here. I
say, quit worrying about other people's business and enjoy your own before
it's too late.
There will be an entirely new community in less than a year, no doubt. A lot
of us aren't sticking around, and for the many that are, they'll be greeted
with brand new wide-eyed newbie faces (and rich eyes too I might add). Why
doesn't someone find Alphabit and get in a quickly planned Cy gala, or
someone make Festival? it's time for us as a community to bring out the best
of ourselves, because sooner or later, this community will die, just as it
did when they first started charging for AW (it was once free, remember) and
a new one emerged with new people. In short, y'all better get yer 120
dollars worth in 20 dollars. ;)
But I must say, it makes perfect sense why they kicked out Eep just a week
or two back. ;)) It'd be a one man war waiting to happen. tee hee. Although,
I'm kinda wishing for his gut wrenching opinion right now...

Woe to ye who is so tragic. This community's not dead yet, and it won't be
unless talk like that prevails. Just because some folks will leave doesn't
mean the community is dead and a new one will take its place.
A community is ever-changing. One expands and shrinks as time goes on. The
same people don't make up a community. If that were to happen, it wouldn't
be a community but a group of like-minded people. A community without
change dies. The change I'm talking about is not the price hikes, but the
new faces that will come into this community and the old faces that will
leave.
Everyone here has a choice. Stay and make the best of a seemingly bad
situation and make that situation better, or just leave. If you leave
because _you_ want to, then cya around. Do what you think is right for you.

No one knows for sure but I think that unless They are stupidly messed up in
the head they will realise whats happening (if they even pay attention at
all) but the thing im worried about is that won't happen until we're all
gone and the crickets are a chirpin'

Ramones???
Jan 4, 2002, 4:39am
Wow, you don't know the Ramones? One of the most worshipped punk bands..
:-P Not sure if they were big in Germany. The lead singer, Joey Ramone
died last year.

Heh...glad I'm not the only one...
The Ramones had an album called "End of the Century," but R.E.M. sings
"It's the End of the World as We Know It" ;-)

Well of course I know the Ramones and I'm quite familiar
with a lot of old punk bands (love 999 and X-Ray Spex),
but this title - "The end of the world as we know it" -
wasn't that R.E.M ?

ohhhh..
Great Big Sea (a Canadian band from Newfoundland) did a song named that.
"Its the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine."
Maybe they just did it as a cover song or something. :-O

I thought REM did the cover from the Ramones...I'm not good on 80's and
early 90's bands, obviously. lol. Glad you caught me.

I think Eep posted about S E C (notice that I'm not writing it correctly to
avoid any filters) stuff hehe, Flagg didn't want him to ruin the whole
surprise-momento in this heh... would certainly have been mooo-y to have him
here now! ):()
