Wow... it's so nice to see everybody here. I feel like I should say something but I am at a loss for words.... let's see...
First off I'd like to thank Knux Econa and the
SHS gang for giving us a new home here.... the days of link-posts are over!
Next I'd like to thank Hector the Hooded, for his efforts in spreading the word and generally getting everybody over here....
It's a realy shame about what happened over at the ESF, but I think in the back of our heads, we all knew it was coming sooner or later. I don't really want to say much about it, because it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am personally very humbled by everyone's stance against the tyranny. I don't think the moderators have been so accustomed to treating us all like children and giving us "love it or leave it" ultimatums that they didn't think that we would actually have the guts to "leave" it. Reading from the posts since I left, it certainly seems as if Tegger is back-pedaling to try to retain a few members in the thread, and I would like to think that our actions might serve as a wake-up call for them that people are fed up with their bullshit (wow that wasn't censored? I forgot what that feels like) and that they can't treat people like children because they have the word "moderator" under their belt.
Anyways, look at me, I said I wasn't going to talk about this and here I am rambling on.
I'm glad we didn't all end up in Canadian Ice. Not because CI isn't a wonderful and free place, but I think we needed a fresh start, somewhere we we could dictate the pace and atmosphere of our own surroundings. I think
SHS is going to be a great new home for us, because we as a group of friends have a say over our thread. This really is "OUR" thread, and "OUR" section of the board, in every sense of the word. I can only hope that the word will spread so even more people will get to bask in the freedom and responsible community decision making that we are allowed here.
And as for you guys, well... I really love you guys, each and every one of you. I even love the ones I hate!
Just kidding it's all love... you guys are the best group of people I've come to know, on the board, on the net, in rl, or wherever and I'm glad we're all back together as one big family again!
wub's all-around!
