Topic: There's no place like home.

A big hairy guy, looking tired but alive, wanders in among a crowd of people that he doesn't know. He finds a seat at the bar, pulls out a flask, and looks for a familiar face.

Finding one, he asks.

"What did I miss?"

Seriously, I just did some cleaning up, and am wondering if anyone can explain what happened while I was away, in the least excitable way possible.

Welcome back to FP, Dolvich. Before I say anything, I'm Dee [or Lemur, depending on who's talking] and joined shortly after you left.

But anyway, long story short is that the regs got kinda tired of not having a mod to clean up a lot of these threads you see. That, and the fact that we weren't getting a whole lot of new people over from the Bar to SPSB didn't help, either. No one knew for sure how long you would be gone, or if you would ever come back, so it was decided that a new forum be created so that we could take care of these issues.

Of course, the Promised Land isn't this place, so when we jumped ship, some of the regs abandoned FP entirely for varying reasons. What's left of us now frequent there.

Hey Dolvich... man has this place missed you! =]

Anyways... well... basically, this place got waaaay too popular for a forum without a mod... hence the mess it was in, what with more than a handful of random new threads etc. etc. There were a lot of people hanging here down at the off-topic threads a lot, but they got tired of people who only came here for reviews as they were seemingly wanting a more 'social' forum that they could control by being mods themselves (they have left and essentially made a mini version of the RH called The Promised Land). Um... what else? There has been more than a couple of internet fights on here... and... that's it in a nutshell really... ... ...

Peace. Out.

We started internet bar fights?

With who?

I'm not sure if I'm impressed or disappointed. Probably both.

We had a very short war with the Review Game.

Em… Well, you see, it all started… No, that'll take too long. You missed a ton. :S

Basically this place kept growing, some people didn't like that others only came for reviews and didn't socialize, the place was getting rather clunky with threads, and some wanted mod powers. So exodus they did.

I think that about sums it up. It's probably in the old Shootin' Pool Shootin' the Breeze threads…though…you should probably not read them… ›.›

No. I fail at typing. When I started, you hadn't posted.

No! I opened it, went to the Notice Board, came back, typed, and posted. … Apparently should not have…

Does this mean we can ditch the ** Promised Land and go back to the good ol' days? :/

Speak for yourself, Jake.

I'll be back only enough to sufficiently explain to Dolvich what the ** is going on with his forum [assuming he comes back at all]. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't, seeing his forum come to this...

Some of the vets are of the same opinion as I.

Some of the vets are of the same opion as I.

And if Dolvich needs help managing this **, I'm down. XD

Back again, doing some housecleaning.

Whoever has decent suggestions for mods, or what needs to be deleted, post them here.

Send hate emails to me PM style. Keep it away from the kids.

Glad to be back. Never thought my bar would get this big.

Peace

I want to say thank you for bestowing such a wonderful honor as this upon me. I will make sure that it stays clean as you have asked as the admin and uphold the rules.

Thank you again. **Bows out of respect**
