The end-times
« on: March 15, 2007, 04:41:37 pm »
So, whoever would have thought we would have ended up with six hundred sixty-six members? As #6, I guess I'm heartened that so many of the early members are still active. I thought maybe, as the third anniversary approaches, this might be a nice opportunity to reflect on where we are, what the board's about, and how things are going.

Or we could digress onto a new TOUAMB meme about food and degenerate sexual practices.

SO WHO HERE HAS A FETISH FOR GIRAFFE PLACENTA?!

... Okay. I'm done.

On some level, it amazes me that I'm still on this board. Prior to this, my sticking-around-a-message-board skills were very low, and I'd never even managed to delurk at Dumbrella. And now... well, now you can't get rid of me. Arharharharhar.

I'd like to thank my freshman-year summer internship, back in the summer of 2003, for giving me copious time to screw around on a message board when I was a youngling; Chris Onstad, for writing a strip so interesting I wanted to delurk and talk about it (as opposed to other Dumbrella strips, where I was content to sort of watch the boards with ever-growing horror); and the community here, who are a stand-up group of dudes and ladies I am proud to know. One day, I'mma make a board meetup, and it'll be sweet.

Doesn't Jough habitually prune the member list? Without that I suspect the board would be far closer to the 1000 mark. It also explains your relatively recent-ish number join, I think.

I think I'm #491.  Your posting frequency is impressive considering the relative age of our accounts.

I had hoped this would be about the Actual End-Times, so that I could point out the Total Coincedence that Jesus died at 33 and I will be 33 when the Mayan calendar ends.

Instead we end up with another one of Terry's Clues That He Has Been Around Awhile.

Man.

Another lost opportunity to insinuate myself as a Messianic figure. Nurtz.

EDIT: Also, the members' list function claims that there are 604 members, so... 666 would be the total number of profiles ever created, I'd think, with 62 profiles having been purged for non-posting at some point. That doesn't, of course, count whatever instances there are of people having multiple accounts...

Such as Onstad being at least fifteen of us, Terry being Judy and so on.

By all means, go ahead with your claims to Messiah-hood and theories on the end-times. I don't want my mere presence in a thread to set off these crazy accusations that I was a previous member here, or set off discussion of said topic.

Members reappearing in different form.  Members hiding behind a new identity.  These are bad soap opera plot devices people.  What's next, an evil twin?  Wait, we've already had that too.  Has TOUAMB jumped the shark?

You know, I know this was written for a specific reason, but I will change the subject and say I really miss JM J Bullock.

Is it that recent a development?  I just found this guy in the archives.  Any more senior members know the story behind that one?
