It has been told, and so I believe, that it all began with a big ban. It was
a moderator induced phenomenon before moderators were moderators.
The effects of which can be seen to this day, as in the centre (Latin for
Stocken, by the way) of our forumiverse lies the treasure of the ever
hidden wisdom of profanity. Around this centre everything else goes
blasting away further and further, spinning and tumbling out of control
towards the outer edges.
Some would say that the occasional star or planetoid in this ever
expanding mass is more remarkable than the rest; that an occasional
mass of forumdust is above the rest in significance. I would say that
named astronomical objects, such as Hand of Hecate, Darvlay, Palynka,
Bosse and so on (in no particular order or preference) merely makes up
for an insignificant portion of the entire whole, without which none of
them would stand out at all.
What then, you ask, is the most important part of a forumiverse such as
this one? Well, except for the obvious importance of it's very centre and
driving force, I would say any part that can seek to strengthen the outer
rim of the expanding orb such that it doesn't all collapse in on itself. We
rarely see them. They appear every now and then with a witty comment
here and a nice compliment there. They calm things down when heated
objects appear to almost explode. They are so important, in fact, that I
dare say without them this forumiverse would be nothing more than a
bunch of cackling hens caught inside a very restrictive cage. Some push
the limits, others hold them, and together we try to reap the benefits of
the big ban, as well as limiting it's side effects.
I wanted to pay a special salute to these members who work in the
background. You know who you are. Or not. I'm not even sure I know
who you are, hence the working in the background. 😕
Erm, all I know is that in the centre lies all the Jalapeño Donkeys in an
orgasmic heap of joy and true pleasure, whereas the rest of you are
forced to stay out of it. For this you have my utmost sympathy. I realise
it must be hard not being a JD, but try and keep a good spirit about it,
ok? Remember, you are the outer rim that keeps things together. Or
not. I'm not sure about that. All I know is that in the centre...
I dare you, to be real
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright
Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to speak of your despise
For bureaucracy, hypocracy- all liars
I dare
I dare - you.
