The innuendo thread was the best, though.
Don't feel too bad Steve, I had a big WTF moment when I logged in that morning and saw that NOBODY had posted in over 12 hours. You just had the bad luck to be able to post and write what a lot of other people were wondering too.Originally Posted by Steve

Well, we're staying till ham radio is all that's left.
I just need some serious news hounds to get this site popping.
Where the hell is Picasso Moon when you need him?
I am laughing with you, Steve, because once you figured it out, you started having some fun. Honestly at first I thought you were a regular who had just temporarily changed their moniker to have a bit of fun. We weren't supposed to be able to post there, but somehow a few of us managed to slip back in for long enough to leave a few posts, and that's when I found you, deer in the headlights!

lol uh.... guys? uh, why'd you blow up the forum? Was that the rapture? Am I dead.... Is THIS the afterlife?!??
holy crap. You take a couple weeks off & miss everything.
Is there a blow-by-blow or indepth discussion of what happened anyone can link me to? I found the meltdown thread at po.com, but it seems to skirt around the details.
Anyway, hi guys!
(and guys.... uh... holy crap!)
Hello guys. Portals reporting for duty.
Well its about damn time.
Turn those machines back on. Get those people back in here. Sell sell sell.
i said i wouldn't
but here I am anyway
thanks for having me
You can go to the now archived forum and try to read some it yourself, but Matt deleted some of it. It is really not describable, understandable, or worthy of research. Most have moved on to various and sundry locations which you will soon discover for yourself where you fit best. Hello from way back.
Hey guys! Let's get this doom rollin'!
It's sunny outside and I'm all happy at the moment. See, that kind of attitude NEVER got anyone prepping.
WELL BOUT TIME you got here.....!!!!
LOL! nice to see you jbhb!
Would it be rude to ask if Megadoom and Rdenner are hanging out here?
Graveday, maybe I find a state of perplexity & bafflement to be soothing & relaxing, hmm? :P Wait, that doesn't sound right, does it?
I would LOVE to know the awful details - and can't imagine why all the dirty laundry is nowhere to be found being discussed on the intertubes.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome Graveday. Glad to see you too.
& hi Redreamer... I think I owe you an apology, since there's been a couple times you sent me PM's & I didn't reply - I kind of suck with those. Always meant to say something. Quite glad to see you as well
its ok jbhb.... probably just my lack of armpit shaving....
jk..... JK!
SERIOUSLY... you did google latoc meltdown?
mind you don't believe everything you read
I am sooooooooo grateful to Roccman for having directed me to Sustainable and Silent Country sites. I was surprised, very happy, and, at the same time, puzzled as to how he thought to reach out to me. After LATOC imploded and most everyone disappeared, I felt awful ... and very lost. I had come to rely on it for news of the day, most especially the financial and GOM sub-forums, and also the gardening sub-forum. I was following Megadoom's sojourn to the northeast fairly closely and felt completely cut off from knowing the outcome there. I honestly didn't know where to go, but as the fates would have it, here I am.
This site is a beaut, somewhat more complicated than I'm used to, but the topics are great and the posters ... well, they are LATOC redux: bright, funny, informed. I feel like I’ve come home.
Thanks Alex •
So glad you found us freedom! It is rather homey in here, inspite of all the DOOM!
overtherainbow here. Hello, all! Good to see so many familiar names (and some new ones, too). Thanks to the mods for the cool new doomspace. Kiss kiss, folks.
I saw rdenner posting over at peakoil.com. Dunno if he's come to roost there but I'm happy to see his long, thoughtful, intelligent posts about just about anything.
I kind of have SOME suspicions about how things flew off the handle and who might have been involved, but since all evidence has been erased, I'll just be left to suspect.
The situation reminds me of Marooned in Realtime by Vernor Vinge. A time-traveler goes forward in time just a couple decades - thinking to find better medical technology, hell, better entertainment, and so on - and finds an Earth completely devoid of human beings with no obvious sign of what happened. Actually makes for fairly good doomer porn.
If anyone is wondering how the heck to set up your avatar - and it does seem to be quite mysterious at first - it isn't in My Profile, it's in Settings, lower-lefthand side under My Settings > Edit Avatar
...what about Materia (Matiyiera? Mayteria?)... shit, he comes and goes with 6 month intervals. He'll come back and be like WTF (insert confused kangaroo here)
Alright, I made it. Good to start seeing a lot of folks again.
Thank you Alex.
Kinda like something out of the twilight zone. Like everyone fell into the binary black hole or something. Ahhh well, good to be here.
