No, see, that was me mocking Magna's grammatical slip-up.

It wouldn't be a big deal for me to stay here, and I don't think this is like the worst place ever, but I don't feel like I belong. Even if I'm accepted, I just don't laugh at the things most people here find funny, it's not a good atmosphere for me.

At least people don't hate you like they all seem to hate me.

I'm considering leaving with you.

I maintain that we should leave together. You're the only person on this Forum that I consider worth bringing along as I go.

I probably will. The forum would suck even more without you.

Not at all. I'm not dissing you--you seem pretty cool. But the fact is, this forum has really declined in awesomeness, and half the users are, quite frankly, jerks.

I agree, the forum seems to be headed on a downward spiral, hopefully some new users will give this place a Renaissance.

See ya Mandy, even though we barely met and probably won't ever again when you leave the forum...

Guys, seriously. Don't you think you're being a little too...over-dramatic?

I wouldn't say that you're wrong about the forums declining in draw. I'd actually say that you're right about that. But, instead of leaving, why don't you try to change that? Use your head, think of a way you can invoke creativity.

I can certainly think of a way to keep people coming to this forum. I actually have a couple ideas in my head right now. I think the most A&C is being used for right now is individual work, nothing involving input - if something like that is created, I think we can give some life back to this forum.

Really, this place started to lose any sort of appeal to me a long time ago. I don't really know why I come around anymore.

But, what made this forum so appealing in the first place? I can't remember - I've not been here that long, or at least, not long enough to remember anything significant, besides maybe a couple pranks.

In any case, this is something I would like to discuss with the entire active userbase thoroughly. But for now, I really do want to convince Myrrh and Mandy to stick around. I would try my hardest to shoot some life into this place, if it would keep people like you coming back.

The real world is a dark place indeed; unfortunately most of you many never comprehend the existence of such a place. It is a constrictive environment almost completely separated from the Elysium we call the Internet. Yet, even so, it is a far more productive and enjoyable universe than what is found on the contemptible Elysium.

I have enough experience from the community to know that you will treat this letter facetiously, including neglecting to read the letter thoroughly (known in your community as the eloquent moniker of "tl;dr"), but it may not please you that this letter is perhaps no as succinct as you would have appreciated. Nevertheless, I strongly suggest you read the complete letter.

Let me begin by explaining my leave. I presume, given the demographic of the community, that you are familiar with the fact that when gas is compressed in a chamber, the flash point lowers. If you substitute "chamber" with "Homestar Runner Wiki Forum" and the gas itself with majority of active HRWF users, the flash point lowers.

I have left because of the incomprehensibly contemptible moronism of the forum, where sophisms are championed by those who do not wish to apply a sort of rational thought. This is reflected especially well in the "Got a Girlfriend/Boyfriend?" thread, wherein the sophomoric responses made by this bastion of stupidity dangerously affects my ability to think logically at a time of concern, even amidst my plea for the guesses of this "riddle" (which it never was) to cease.

The community has become a tedious portion of my life. Thanks to its demise from a special forum of rather intelligent people, it has degraded itself into a campground for battling sects of zeitgeists.

If you wish me to return (which I highly doubt you will), then I suggest you start a reform movement to return the forum to its glory days. Many a time have I seen people reminiscing about the summer of '05 (and occasionally '06), when the forum truly shined and was a peaceful exchange of brotherly ideas, love, and thought. If you wish for the forum to return to this (and for my possible return), I urge you all to lash out against the current bastion of stupidity and reclaim the forum for intelligence.

By the Hammer of Thor, I wish to those who wish to reclaim the forum all the best of luck in restoring the past brilliance of a now decadent colloquium.

Yours truly,
Magna Carta Libertatum

P.S. If you pulled a "tl;dr", I suggest reading paragraphs four and six, but it is highly suggested you read the surrounding information as well.

Couldn't we start a Suggestions thread discussing ways to make the forum better?
Instead of the drama here, I mean.

Don't take stuff like that to a personal level. To me that's like taking "doodyhead" as a personal insult. Just brush it off.

Magna used big words too much. wtf is a decadent colloqiuum.

For me it was the friendliness of it all. I remember way back in 05, I was a giant noob. Got into a few flame wars with some more-liked people, got chased off to the Fanstuff. And I came back, all because of the friendly people and the atmosphere. I remember people saying that it was an Internet oasis. I haven't heard that since about 2006.

I do like the old times of the forum better, but I stick around because these guys are some of my best friends. If all of you people leaving don't see that, then, well, I can't help you. But if you do, then stick around and make this place not suck instead of just abandoning it.

Guess what. The days of Summer '05 are never going to come back. Get over it and move on.

This too.

But just because the past ain't coming back, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve this place.

@Rusty: I never meant to be dramatic. At the end of the day, this is all I have to say:

Well, I'm not having fun here anymore, so I'm gonna go somewhere else. Later~

I don't feel that I have a responsibility to make this place cooler or breathe life into it or whatever. I'm gonna let it go down whatever path it's destined to go down and join a forum that's ALREADY cool enough for me to enjoy.

I mean, thanks for saying you don't want me to leave, but I just rather would. So, like I said, if anyone wants to IM me or call me or send me mail or whatever, you guys can do that.

Hm. Okay.

It's probably not worth that much trouble, anyway - but it would suck if you guys left.

Noid's got the right idea.

I read it all, and, to be honest, I really think you're better off gone. I agree with a couple things that you said. But you still make me very angry, and I'm not sure if you're on very friendly terms with any of the other people here.

Apparently, one can't be intelligent and have a sense of humor.
That makes me an idiot then.

Okay, be honest here. How many words used in this post did you actually know, and how many did you just use to make yourself sound smarter? Because after looking up every possible definition of "zeitgeist", for instance, I still can't see a way in which it makes sense the way you used it. Also, where the heck did "moronism" come from?

I find it unfortunate that a mere few months after I arrive here, the forum is apparently dying and everyone decides to up and leave.
