A story, for ye who care...
[spoil]Yesterday came and went with little fanfare.
There were no cheers, there were no cries and screams and proclamations. There was the usual, carrying on in these forums as though yesterday were special to no one.
But it was special.
Somewhere, someone sat in a dark room behind a brightly lit computer screen, reading the forums. Sc
It was not an easy job, but it had to be done. It was not a job that he could shirk from, but a responsibility he had upheld for so long.
That someone was u6s5l., otherwise known as Or-el.
To Or-el, yesterday meant something. It was a day to remember, a day that meant more to him than others could see. It had marked the beginning of a new life. No more was he marked as one of the crowd, but he had joined another group; a group no more or less superior than everyone else, but one tasked with an oversight just as they had an oversight on his actions.
He stood out from the crowd, a crowd of online personas that is and always has been far more diverse than imaginable.
The United States are described as a melting pot, but this place, this forum that he had grown to love was far more of a melting pot than any other place he could see, and the intermingling connections that he began to supervise had been far more interesting to him than any others.
Yesterday may not have meant much to those intermingling personas, but to him, it was a yearlong reminder of his responsibilities. His duties. What he stood for may have meant nothing to them, but it was a year of work.
That someone thanks you all for the interesting reads, developments, and courteous natures (well, some of you). That someone is proud to have been a part of the W56 forums, and to have watched over it for so long.
That someone is tired of being so dramatic.[/spoil]
So, it's been a year of me modding you lot, and no one even noticed. Been fun, looking forward to the next however-long-this-world-lasts :icon_biggrin:.
As a result, I'm going to be throwing 200 premium points at whoever makes me laugh the most with a post on this thread in the next 48 hours. As always, follow forum rules!
