"When The Forum Dies" or "In A Hundred Billion Million Years..."

[Seil]

First off, I;m jealous of the stereotypical version of the Irish. Whenever I try to sing the drinking songs meant for the tenor, my bass screws it up. I'm pretty screwed up either way, so whatever. Anyway, I like campfires.

That may sound like a really throw-away, non-sequiter comment, but I want you to think about it. Please, really think about the last time you had a campfire. It was totally (pretty) rad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsD1zoI7NYo). Smores and all. Now, at my campfire, we sung campfire songs, while I sung drinking tunes. My cousin announced his wedding with his fiancee. I thought of me favourite Irish bands, (http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=VlUw-k36bAw) and wondered about lifem and love, and realtionships, and spider bites and scrapped knees (My 3 and 5 year old cousins were there) and wondered aboutmy end (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dimIdfHoLEU&feature=related). I wondered about Life, The Universe, And Everything (http://www.amazon.com/Life-Universe-Everything-Hitchhikers-Trilogy/dp/0345391829). But least of all, I thought about you guys.

I thought about what would happen if I were still here in twenty years, when I blackmail a girl to marry me and adopt some kids, would I still have NPF to guide me through father hood? Through marriage? Through pudding?

What are you gonna be doing in the final days, let alone the final days of NPF?

50 years from now i hope, well' be virtually meeting in the holodeck to discuss how about our kids have it easy with their damn hover cars and all that racket they listen to, and how back in "our day" we listened to music made with real instruments made in a factory and not any Poly-digital-cyber-crap-synthesizer they use now. while Seil will be virtually standing in the Holodeck, holding random signs of drawings his grandchild did that, are ironically related to whatever is being discussed. All the while discussing how Brian Clevinger changed comic book history when he bombed both Marvel and DC's studios in a mad ranting of his final days and how after that comics were better forever...

All in all, there is a decent possibility of this turning into a casual point for Old Geeks.

NPF doesn't die, it will barely hang on until we can get government funding (because everything can get it these days).

And my final days will definitely not be these two things, sitting in a hospital with only the beeping of the heart monitor to lull me to sleep or being bored as shit in a nursing home (or whatever they call those places).

[synkr0nized]

It's only been over a month since my last campfire.
We'll likely have one again soon.

S'mores and all.


Being an adult and choosing what you do with your time rocks.

[POS Industries]

I dunno, guys. In a few months from now, I doubt much will have really changed for me.

[TDK]

NPF will end with the rest of the world on December 23rd, 2012 when NPF finally becomes sentient and nukes Russia somehow, starting a nuclear war that kills everything.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

Seriously, this forum will not last nearly that long. Every few years, there was one new forum after the next. And it wouldn't shock me if this isn't the last incarnation.

I mean, we're on our 3rd or 4th board, after all. Saying this one will last us until a billion years hence, is a tad optimistic. The people might stick around (hey, I'm still here), but the software might change. Just a fact.

NPF doesn't die, it will barely hang on until we can get government funding (because everything can get it these days).

But nobody on the forum is already incredibly wealthy.

[Aldurin]

But nobody on the forum is already incredibly wealthy.

The government doesn't have to know that . . .

[Pip Boy]

We just have to demonstrate the Nuklearforums is a vital part of the economy. Its too big to fail.

Like is there a form you can use to formally request that, because we should totally get on that shit.

[Amake]

Better think that through before we commit to the plan. If NPF is too big to fail, then so is 4chan. . .

[Aldurin]

Fuck 4chan, we'll just claim that they have an extreme conservative bias and they'll be run into the ground.

[Ecks]

We should still find a way to keep the NPF spirit lingering after this board goes. I'd hate it if I never talked to any of you chums again.

[Seil]

Fuck alla y'all. For all I know, you're just figments of my imagination.

[Marc v4.0]

...did I miss an announcement or something? is NPF going away?

[Bells]

...did I miss an announcement or something? is NPF going away?

Oh.. well... yes... yes Marc, NPF is going away. But that doesn't it doesn't love you anymore.. yo usee dear, sometimes a forum and it's community just, drives apart from one another. But that doesn't mean it doesn't love you or that it won't remember all the LuLz we had together....

it will be okay, dear... it will be okay.

[POS Industries]

...did I miss an announcement or something? is NPF going away?
Or did it ever really exist to begin with?

[Marc v4.0]

-_-

It is horrible that I can't tell if you are jerking me around cause I'm reading too much into this, or jerking me around because I missed something major.

[Aldurin]

Yeah, NPF is getting sued for that one erotic fantasy post, which was apparently ripped off of some big name porn company that takes no shame in stomping out small groups over that.

[Marc v4.0]

jerks!

[Pip Boy]

Fuck alla y'all. For all I know, you're just figments of my imagination.

Naaah, you just think you're hallucinating us because you're crazy. We're actually really real. Who are you going to believe, us or a crazy person?

[Sky Warrior Bob]

Fuck alla y'all. For all I know, you're just figments of my imagination.

Who says we're the figment of imagination here? For all I know, you're the tiny purple dragon (http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/Nikkistyxx/figment02.gif) with orange wings around here.

And you're just questioning my existence to throw off suspicion.

[Ecks]

Actually, it was all a secret plot by me to buy the url and sell it to Fifthfiend for twenty times what it's worth so he can post all the slash fiction he wants without worrying about the banhammer.

And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling forumites and your dragon.

[akaSM]

Or did it ever really exist to begin with?

No, it didn't
