But I can't now. My dear friend WCGreen is dying, hell he might even be dead by now for all I know.

So, so much for fun from me.

And I'm sorry that you are losing your friend. This thread is in response to that other meta thread floating around here.

The King is dead! Long live the King!

Elvis has died. Elvis is alive. Elvis will never die.

Tupac was murdered. Tupac faked his death. Tupac is secretly releasing "newly found tracks" every few years from his bungalow in Barbados.

Christ has died. Christ is Risen. Christ will come again.

(I'm skeptical of all of the above.)

But I don't think it has anything to do with the lounge somehow losing its mystique. People come and people go. The board as a whole has experienced declining membership for probably several reasons, a main one being that this is now DU Inc.

I am back.

The Lounge is not dead; it's just suffocating in entropy. If you think things are bad right now, just try to imagine how dead the Lounge will be 10 years.

I bet you can't. Might as well just stretch your arms out to your sides, run full steam ahead, and fly recklessly forward at full speed and keep going.

i don't miss the shitshow this place used to be, but i do miss the camaraderie and debauchery that used to exist. still some good folks here, don't get me wrong, but it's a bit lonely here now.
