It was the fact that *nobody* has posted much of anything at all to
the group (except for a short thread by Fastman, Fast Freddy, and Me,
about whether anything was going on here ... It wasn't) for two
months, when Krazy was going to burn down the PUb as a going-away
party. Back then, I resolved to stay until everybody had left; then
do what I did: Take down the flag, play Taps, and turn out the lights
as the last man (me) left.
Nobody seems *interested* in coming here any more; either being
involved in "Real Life", being scared of LEA, not finding anything
*new* in either pictures or conversations, or just sheer boredom.
I figured we'd all outgrown the place, like a lobster outgrows it's
shell ... and cannot crawl back inside.
abx died a similar death years earlier ... just BEFORE I managed to
get a server that would let me see it. <Sigh.>
In past times, people posted pictures here. THAT was what sparked the
group. As I said back then though, I *don't* want people doing
something illegal, that might get them arrested, just so *I* will have
interesting people here to talk to. Since my filters keep me from
even seeing the headers for the pictures, I don't care about them ...
but *other* people do ... and it's THAT controversy that attracted so
many and so varied a motley crew. Yes, the LEA people coming here to
"catch the filthy perverts" and then staying to argue points of the
conversations, the Bible Thumpers who start out OH SO convinced they
"know what is wrong with us" and even those who vow to shut the group
down. Along with people who START out as just curious onlookers,
wondering what the shouting is all about ... and end up contributing
to the group by conversation, if nothing else.
BUT:
Without the pictures here to attract the controversy, all the steam
went out of the group; and *I* certainly am *NOT* going to ask people
to post illegal pictures, just so I will have interesting people to
talk to. Those who still *do* post such pictures, (I assume) have
long since gone on to other groups; and no longer have any interest in
this one. Since they're comfortable THERE, without all the yakking
HERE, I ass-u-me they are happier without the bullshit that made this
group so unique.
IOW, It seems to me that the people who KEPT this group alive, are now
quite happy that it's dead. Less bother, not having to put up with
all the bullshit that made this group such fun for people like us.
So ... unless you people want to resurrect the corpse ....
I *will* watch though, and be around if anybody does.
