Wanna Know What I Miss? The Pantheon!

Angelsboi · 29th July 2003, 10:17 PM

I was looking through some od files and man those were some fun times. I was briefly the Pantheons Angel and Guardian.

*holds up his shiney gold key that resembles the key to OZ but instead says EN*

I wonder if I should open the gates back up. They have been locked for a while and I was the one who locked them when I found out Elmister was going into Hell.

Damn bastard. How he escaped me ill never know ...

I don't

Angelsboi · 29th July 2003, 10:24 PM

Hey I do. After all, its when I became a Pantheon Member I met most of you guys and what not.

reapersaurus · 29th July 2003, 10:57 PM

that makes 2 of us, TB.

There's enough clique-y post-bloat exercise glad-fest in the Hivemind to ward off any nostalgia for the Pantheon.

Wow. That's impressive. Reminds me of your "interdimensional dork fortress" comment. Once again, sheer poetry.

(It might also show that you don't know much about the Hivemind,

but that's beside the point and doesn't diminish the coolness in the least.)

No Way! To big of a can of worms.

Hey, man, where you been? You're missed over at the interdimensional dork fortress.

reapersaurus · 29th July 2003, 11:42 PM

[attitude] See!?
Angelsboi, you should know better than to speak the Name-That-Must-Not-Be-Uttered, or they'll crawl out of their slimy pits they reside in, and swamp the place.

and Traveler & Darkness - that's superdimensional dork fortress to you, pal.

And I know enough about the Hivemind to know it's sheer post-bloat (at least every thread I've read), though I'll admit it's less clique-y than the Pantheon was.

Really, I salute the Pantheon for taking their circle jerk to another board, and not cluttering up the ENBoards.
I also appreciate the Hivemind's huddling together in just a few threads - it makes it tolerable, though no less waste of bandwidth.

This is about that time that (contact) wouldn't give you a reach-around, isn't it?

reapersaurus · 29th July 2003, 11:56 PM

Traveler - you know me so well.... :rolleyes:

I do lurk a bit at NL from time to time.... when I haven't gotten my fill of abuse, I fill my need for self-flagellation over there.

Last time I read NL, seasong almost made my bust a gut, the way he slummed over there and schooled the guys in Fight Club (or whatever its called now).

I think its interesting how there've been so many spiteful, vindictive threads on NL about how much ENBoards and the people suck, yet they invariably post links to over here, and crawl out of the woodwork as soon as their spirits are invoked.

reapersaurus · 29th July 2003, 11:59 PM

Crypty - I bet you (and many people, including myself) are breathing a sigh of relief about Bruce Campbell's brush with tragedy, eh?

Hey, look - I replied to one person, instead of pooling them up in one post!
I might get the hang of this Post Bloat skill that comes with the Hivemind Template...

Well, to be honest, when you're not looking we swipe your towels.

Indeed! Just this morning I was asking myself which I'd rather do: put my head in a vise and start tightening, or log in to NKL and see what the users have been getting up to?

The choice was simple.

And I must say that the hardware store's employees were very helpful!

I'm not personally familiar with the Pantheon, as it was before I began posting here, so I will not speak to it. I only have one question. What would be the point of said "clique-y post bloat excercise glad fest"? Does this even describe the Hive, really? In order to be a clique it must be exclusive, and the Hive does not exclude anyone, so we can remove that word from the Hive's descriptors. The next portion seems to run all together to create the impression that the Hive exists to raise one's postcount with the intention of making one's self happy. What would be the purpose? Do people go through the day thinking, hey, my postcount is 2000?

I had my reservations about the Hive when I cam here. It seemed pointless. In a rather heated discussion of the concerns of many, I started to post there, and now any concerns I had are gone. Yeah, I thought it was a clique, which wasn't true, and now most of the Hivers that were once, are now gone. So the clique you may have percieved is no longer even there.

Yeah, well... Whenever it's causing trouble, Piratecat and me erase a lot of the threads.

(That only was necessary once and only because back then the threads were so long - ca. 800 posts each.

Right now it seems to work out, generally.)

Oh yeah.

Damn. There aren't many of the Hive's "old guard" left nowadays, are there?
Horacio and Dragongirl (and probably others as well) are gone, it seems. And several more (e.g., Ashwyn, arwink, me) were much more active in the past...

But at least he-who-shall-not-be-named-lest-he-take-over-this-thread still remains.

(Also still there: randomling, Tallarn,...)
