I've been thinking. How did a forum get to this?

Did it start with people with 0 comedy ability trying to be funny? Or did it start way before that? And then I started thinking: maybe it was us. I don't know, but maybe somehow we lowered the bar, a long time ago, And now we're all sitting here, in the stink of it all. A bunch of fucking disgraces, that's what.

I only know one thing though, there's no going back.

Strange memories on this nervous night in a forum. Has it been four years? Five? It seems like a lifetime. The kind of peak that never comes again. Firebot in 2007 was a very special time and place to be a part of. But no explanation, no mix of posts or images or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and posting, in that corner of time on the Internet...

Whatever it meant. There was stupidity in any direction. At any hour, you could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were posting was right. That we were winning. And that I think was the handle. That sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any troll or military sense. We didn’t need that. Our injokes would simply prevail. We had all the momentum. We were riding the crest, of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you go up on a steep hill in Socialization in the Empire and look west. And with the right kind of eyes – you can almost see the high watermark – that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
 
Maybe i shouldn't have said anything. I should learn to just let people be happy about stuff sometimes. I mean one day a forum threads will stop being stupid, unsatisfying or even JUST SO TERRIBLE. Right? Right???

EDIT: Damn Rodan I thought we were cool. You know, like honour among thieves, camaraderie among ironic rapping roof ninjas, etc.
