As if people don't have enough bureaucracy in their lives.

So I found another Redwall forum...
I am the harbinger of the spicy rooster apocalypse,
I am the hydrogen bomb in a necktie,
I hold the flames of a thousand collapsed stars,
I am Bobracha!

Its dead now unfortunately.

Yeah, that one's been around for quite a while. It was functionally dead by the time the RAF came around in June '11.

Going through that old forum is kinda sad...
I am the harbinger of the spicy rooster apocalypse,
I am the hydrogen bomb in a necktie,
I hold the flames of a thousand collapsed stars,
I am Bobracha!

Bilbo is so sassy...

So like this?





And dang, the newest thread on that forum is pretty touching. Kinda seems that that could
Be the fate of this place.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

I fear that outcome.

-Storytime with Søren-

Gonff sits idly, not think about much. Seven years have passed since he last visited Loamhedge. "Surely", he thought as the virtual abbey crossed his kind for the first time in years, "surely there's nothing left. It's been so long..." He pulls out his phone from his pocket, which takes him to the old website. "Who's online?" he reads. "1 User, psybox; 12 guests". He scrolls through and finds his old board, a popular favorite "The Front Lawns".
He starts to type as he creates a new topic: "It's been so long...
I've graduated college a year ago and am now a successful novelist. I was on this forum long ago as Gonff the Mousethief. I didn't know this place still existed! Has anyone else been on lately?"
3 weeks later, replies come in. Slowly at first, but ever so steadily. Skarzs leaves a hello, relating how he now is a professional blacksmith and specializes in custom built replica weapons from book series's. He says how it all started with Martin the Warrior's sword. He's also married Faiyloe. Galli pops in to say how her illustrating career took to new heights, and she now is a graphic designer at a major firm. Søren stops by to relate how he has faired, and how he's teaching his own children about Redwall and has gifted them with his collection. James returns, tweaks something in the themes, and posts how he is now a software developer for Apple. Even Peony logs on to tell of her new dancing stardom. Maudie, Peri, Sky, Banya, Eul, Jet, Rrrrr, Alexander, Inquisitor, Kit and everyone else stops in to leave their message about where their lives are headed from here on. Gonff is filled with warm happiness as he rekindles the spark of the old forum.
4 years later, it's going strong again. James still is managing the forum, although with more difficulty ow that a new generation of Redwall readers have taken over: the children of the original member of the Loamhedge Abbey Forum, who stay, read and discuss the books that brought it all together so many years ago.


I'm retired from the forum

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

... So I just found out about Home-Owners Associations... what? Are they a real thing? How stupidly authoritarian are they usually? And can you tell them to stuff it without ramifications?

"Neighbourhood values." What a ridiculous concept.
Yup. You pay someone to provide no useful services at all, and to tell you what to do. And it's pretty much impossible to reverse their decisions, so don't even try.

Wait, that's called the EPA (and government in general).

I really think HOA's should be illegal, but... :P
