Nah, you people got it all wrong! Shomei is meant to be with Mostin, I tell you! They were made for eachother; both mages, both insane, both consorting with daemons like they're little fluffy bunny rabbits...
Nwm however... I bet he uses his animal empathy skill on a willing sheep when he's feeling lonely...

Like many people my interest was grabbed by the original post and we bumped it a number of times over a period (not every day) while wondering what had happend. Eventually, what we had heard was that Seph had stopped posting because of a lack of interest in the original thread (in the General Board, not SH). So bumping it every day was at least in part a demonstration of DEVOUT interest. Partly it was a nearly vain desire to just simply find out what had happened, since the question posed was "Is Lady Despina's change of Heart Real?" and "Should Eadric spare her?". Even though it was just a "what should I do?" kind of post it did still have Seph's characteristic feel for conveying a situation. Personally, I've always been a sucker for a hopless romance and it just doesn't get much more hopless than a Paladin and a Succubus. So that was my motivation to participate.
As a result of all the effort put into it for all those months, I always felt that the original thread with all the bumps should have been kept as a monument to the effort and faithfulness that it enshrined. Unfortunately between the several crashes, rebuilds and server transfers the original thread with the bumps was lost and only the "pruned" version survived.
For reasons of readability the desire to prune the bumps is reasonable and necessary. I think the original thread was something like 1.5 pages of posts and something like 15 pages of bumps.
However, it does rather dimminish the desire to bump it every day if you know they are simply going to be eliminated. Also we KNOW Seph will post again now, most people who follow story hours have read it and it is one of the most popular story hours. So the fate of the thread is in no peril, something that is not the case when you have not heard a peep from the author in 6+ months.
So for all those reasons it isn't bumped every day IMHO.
BTW Horacio didn't actually bump it every day, only about 99%+ of the time. However he was the one who really got bumping it started. The rest of us helped fill in the days he didn't/couldn't do it and pumped up the view count by checking it every day in the nearly vain hope that Seph would have posted again or that one of the mods would at least fake a post and put us out of our misery.

Hi. My names Janos and I'm a wyraholic.
I have no words for how great this storyhour is. The adventures of Eadric and co are as dear to me as any of my favourite books. I love that Sep started the thread in the first place. I love that it's still going. I want to add my own inadequate thanks for sharing this with us to the vast chorus that has gone before.
Of course I had it easy. I only started reading once Sep was towards the end of the heretic thread, so I knew there was a future.
I compile the storyhours t read offline and...yes I just checked...I have the original despina's virtue thread still pretty much intact, bumps and all (including Horatio's last triumphant bump to point people to the second thread). In word it was two pages of Sep's post, followed by fourty six (word) pages of bumps. On behalf of all of us who joined latter I raise a glass to the devoted few who kept the thread alive during those six months. If anyone ever sets up a shrine to this story hour perhaps the original thread could be included as a kind of tribute
Thanks for listening.

Please send me a copy as well. I've been archiving Sep's threads for ages, but I never kept the original. Perhaps if Sep's SH is ever published, he'd want to include a list of the names of the bumpers somewhere---sort of like Playtester credits
edit: Oh yeah, I think I owe a few folks copies of the compiled SH in Word. If you want a copy, post so that I can send them out in a batch later tonight.
