...Ben decided to throw a big party, and he wanted it to be the biggest and best party ever thrown, and people started streaming through the doors and mingling and before he knew it, the party was a smash and there were people everywhere and every hour more booze had to be delivered and the party was such a success the neighbors didn't even complain, they just came over and partied too...

...and then Ben got tired and decided to end the party and go to bed. But people weren't done partying. So he just handed a spare key to the Mods and told 'em to lock the place up when we were done.

And we've been here ever since, feasting on the stale pretzels and dancing on beer-soaked sofa cushions.

is this a continuation of Istenszek's orgy thread????

XxAxX said:

do you want it to be?

Anx said:

maybe, as long as baseball bats are not involved....

That's just about right.

man id gladly buy it from him, but if people knew that the org would then die, because no one would be here no more.

And I still have the set of keys in my possession

I think someone has been sick behind the FAQs.

Clean it up, then!!

Anx said:

You have an awesome way with words.

I wish the Org was for sale.

Romera said:

Hell no

luv4u said:

i kinda wish the same thing, though if that ever happened, i hope ben would be really choosy about who he sells it to.

Anx said:

I was actually thinking this exact thing the other day.

CarrieMpls said:

He should sell it to the highest bidder. Someone who would charge an extortionate amount for membership

luv4u said:

why?... afraid that who ever bought it would get rid of the mods? shit that would be a joy in itself

Finess said:

oh, behave.

my first preference is for ben to come back into the fold, but absent that...i'd love to see a longtime orger with good web design experience take over. the org has a lot of room to evolve.

Anx said:

ahem... ahem...like i said i would do it but if they knew the org would probably fail.

personally i think ben doesnt even want anything to do with it anymore and letting it run itself till it basically drops dead for good.

Finess said:

doesn't he have to pay for the name and the space and whatnot?

Anx said:

not quite sure anymore.

Anx said:

He does. Unless he's got a deal somewhere. I imagine that this place still costs a pretty penny, based on traffic alone. Then again he could have a high traffic/low space (cuz this is only a bulletin board) type of deal set up.

Again, he could be tied in with another site (that has plenty of extra space) and this is just part of that.

I dunno, if he were to sell it, I would hope it would run exactly as it is now i.e. the freedom one has to express themselves here. I think MODS are a good idea they keep the crap down to a minimum. Though I think we need a new re-haul of mods. I think some may be burned out. No Ouster, but def some new ones.

Kinda depressing if you ask me.

I want a (geek-mode) - XHTML'd, Javascripted, Uber Org.

Anx said:

that's not beer.

i told you not to invite Gary!

Anx said:

that's excellent.

Omadon said:

Yes it is! It sums things up quite well.

When and where did it all begin, I mean... the true beginning. When will or shall it all end.
