At least you have to admit 2the9's Org Manifesto has alot more going for it than NPGMC's "U Tell Us" 12 question "meaning of life" sermon to subscribers.

Every good movement needs clearly expressed rules and regulations! The Org is such a movement! It is bigger than any one of us (well with the possible exception of Billy). In the absence of clear cut guidelines I hereby offer the First Org Manifesto (Apologies to Filipo Marinetti):


  • We intend to post the love of Prince, the habit of energy and fearlessness -- and also bitch and moan when that goes slightly askew.

  • Courage, audacity, revolt, nonsense, and the occasional fake tracklist will be essential elements of our posting.

  • Up to now these boards have exalted a pensive immobility, ecstasy, and sleep. We intend to exalt aggresive action, a feverish insomnia, the racer's stride, the mortal leap, the flame and the devote-a-thread, plus we will try to stick to the right forum.

  • We affirm that the world's magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of moderation.

  • We want to hymn the man at the wheel, who hurls the lance of his spirit across the Earth, along the circle of its orbit, in other words Ben, Matt, Kevin, and Val.

  • The poster must spend himself or herself with ardor, splendor, and generosity, to swell the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements. (Sounds grosser than it is)

  • Except in struggle, there is no more beauty. No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Posting must be conceived as a violent attack on unknown forces, to reduce and prostrate them before man. (This goes for everyone except IrishEcho who has done more than enough in this area!)

  • We stand on the last promontory of the centuries!... Why should we look back, when what we want is to break down the mysterious doors of the Impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because we have created eternal, omnipresent threads. That and we're sick of not having a General Discussion board.

  • We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism (Sorry JDODSON!), feminism (Sorry Anotherloverholeinyourhead!), every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice.

  • We will sing of great crowds excited by work, by pleasure, and by riot; we will sing of the multicolored, polyphonic tides of revolution in the modern capitals; we will sing of the vibrant nightly fervor of mesage boards and chatrooms blazing with Violett, Spookyelectric, Moonbeams, Teachers, ChandraSonics, Shauslers (Yes even Shauslers!), Battiers, bkws, Wellbeyonds, AzureStars, SummerRains, subydubys, skeletonkees, Aarons, Sag10s (and all the other people who will get pissed because I left their names out); Grafitti bridges that stride the rivers like giant gymnasts, flashing in the sun with a glitter of knives! (But we will probably still not be thrilled with NPS...)

  • And of course, a special point for bkw, (couretsy of AzureStar): Make not thyself helpless in drinking in the beer shop. For will not the words of thy report repeated slip out from thy mouth without thy knowing that thou has uttered them? Falling down, thy limbs will be broken, and no one will give thee a hand to help thee up. As for thy companions in the swilling of beer, they will get up and say, "Outside with this drunkard!" -- Wisdom of Anii

"Layman's turns"

-We only post about prince when we feel like it and BMW if it's that time of the month (BMW Bitch Moan & Whine)

-There should be a sufficient amount of crap posted

-When posting try to use words with more then 7 letters

-Don't sweat it if your thread's been deleted; to be moderated hath its own status

-Give at least once a week thumbs up for the org. runners

-No typos (the turns in the beginning is educational)

-Flame away, feel bad about it afterward and apologise if necessary

-open the gd gd forum

-thumbs up for everything that doesn't end with -ism

-post sufficiently but do not feel special if your posting number reaches 1,000

-bkw, cheers mate !

In moderation.


-There should be a sufficient amount of crap posted

A certain amount of crap is inevitable anyway.

-When posting try to use words with more then 7 letters

No

-Don't sweat it if your thread's been deleted; to be moderated hath its own status

It's not such a big deal. I'm attentive to the message the mooderators are sending.

-Give at least once a week thumbs up for the org. runners

I'm sure they feel the love.


-No typos (the turns in the beginning is educational)

Give me a brkae.

-Flame away, feel bad about it afterward and apologise if necessary


I don't actually flame anymore, unless you define "flaming" as any critical comment.

-open the gd gd forum


Already d.

-thumbs up for everything that doesn't end with -ism


Xcept Existentialism.

-post sufficiently but do not feel special if your posting number reaches 1,000


There's nothing special about it anymore.
