Yeah it's not a coup - what? Hello? You can't what? But I ordered those brownshirts WEEKS ago! How am I supposed to - well, I suppose we can just - what? NO FLAGS EITHER? Oh come on now! I bet this didn't happen back in Weimar - hello? Hello? HELLO???!!!
Seriously man, it's not a coup, as Guybrush says. Originally, from my point of view, it was and is more an escape craft in case this place goes down one day. I know there are people here - probably yourself included - who wouldn't give two ****s if it vanished, but there are those who are invested in the place - be it in terms of their work, the people, just the damn routine of it - and those people might be upset to log on one day and find a DNS error or whatever.
So we're here as a lifeboat if/when this place goes. You can come here and find the same people, mostly, and some of the same style of a forum. Then again, it's kind of Music Banter V. 2.0 etc; as in, other than being as well known Googlewise as MB, it's going to be a place where you can get all you get here, but more too, and better run, assuming Guybrush doesn't turn at the last moment as I'm plunging the knife into... what? Oh nothing, nothing.
Anyway, nobody's obliged to come here. Some have said they're not interested and that's fine. They will of course be first against the wall when the revolution comes, but that's their choice. And obviously nobody has just one chance. If anyone decides to change their mind, they're welcome to come over to us. Which is also not to say that you can't be in both places at once. The one does not exclude the other, and we won't be looking on this place as any sort of a rival or enemy, so please don't allow the buildup of thousands of troops at your border concern you. Military excercises, I do assure you.
Anyway that's my two cents. Come if or when you want, don't if you don't want to. I'll still be in both camps, because why annoy one forum when you can annoy two? Maybe I'll see you there, maybe not.
Now excuse me, I have to take a call.
Hello? Oh now this is just INTOLERABLE! We got planning permission for those re-education camps last year! Constit- what? Hello? Hello?
