Take a few guesses, I'm curious to what people think.

And who thinks they'll be here til the end?



Time was never on my side.
So on I wait my whole lifetime.

Another two years? Don't know.

I probably will, unless the forums change in some major radical way.

I imagine they'll last well past the time of the game.

I think they'll last til
1. Drys loses his sense of humor about folks

-or-

2. Drys loses his sense of humor about folks who can't or don't pay, and the rates for bandwidth jump even higher.

It'll last until an issue comes that is so massive in proportions that there will be a huge split (Everyone will take their side), and, a large portion of the board leaves in bitterness due to the intensity of flames.

But that won't happen for awhile. I say another year.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I’ve often thought about that...
Years from now, will I be a late 20-something person still stalking the forums?

These thoughts just... concern me. The problem is, that I probably will be (Well, maybe not a problem). I can see no reason I’d leave. I just can't really see myself as a 20 something sititng at a computer posting things like that...

Another interesting thing to think about is like... “What if you just accidently posted a certain link or got carried away in a flame war and got banned?” If you’re like me, I almost always stop by the forums atleast once, and rarely only once, a day... I’d be pretty upset if I was banned, more so than angry.

Or if the forums were taken down without warning tomorrow, what would it be like?

I think they'll be there til Drysart gets tired or bored of them, like Piper said basically.

And, chances are I'll be here til the end. Unless of course there is some freak accident where I don't have internet access anymore, or I have perished, or something.

They're never going anywhere!

When the world is plunged into nuclear war in the distant future and every single man, woman and child is killed in a fiery hailstorm, there will be two things left on this world: EverCrest and Cockroaches.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I remember having a conversation like this with the first band of FFRP'ers I was with.

We all laughed about how we'd all stay and such, but a year after that, people were slowly leaving, and lots of new people joined, leaving 1 or 2 of us oldies, then when we left, the mod closed the chat.

We had a reunion about a month ago, I laughed so damn hard at all the stuff I remembered =p

I think it may be like that with us and EC.

Actually, I'm thinking it wont be Drysart or a hugeass flamewar or anything that kills EC, but some random bit of unfortunateness that cannot be predicted.

IE: Something happening to Drys, actual board getting nuked beyond recognition, nuclear war, the dolphins take over and we can all talk via psychicness, etcetera, etcetera.

But if you like people, you'll keep in touch, right?
