Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well, for all us mere forumgoers know, the programmer might be working on it right now. To do something correctly requires planning, and for all we know they're plotting in the database as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 The plan was to make an offline copy of this database, shutdown this site, convert the copy, and setup a redirect on this site. Unless they forgot to shutdown this site as part of the process, I don't think it has started yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Would that make you the Dragon, Kel? I was going to try to stick to more academic references, but...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mostly, I'm just curious as to what part of the Karaethon Cycle he was thinking of posting. Myself, I thought Moridin's comment from A Memory of Light somewhat apt: “The last days are upon us. In these hours, you will earn your final rewards. If you have grudges, put them behind you. If you have plots, bring them to completion, for this... this is the end.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally Posted By: Tyranicus Perhaps Kel has three girlfriends who are all cool with that. There's something sort of funny about that particular number in this context.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well, between us, we have a quote about endings and a quote about beginnings.

I also like how you omitted the part of that quote that actually talks about beginnings and endings: Quote: The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was A beginning I considered trying to change key words to make it work, but thought of "Avernite Christmas" and got intimidated.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I know that I haven't been posting much around here lately, but I've been lurking. I just want to post here before the end of time. Speaking of, that was 19 minutes ago. I was hoping to have a new forum as a birthday present, but I guess I'll just have to wait.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Maybe it means Sylae will host a new game show, Dancing with the Spiderweb Stars, on the new forum? *imagines Slarty and Alorael in a tap-dancing duel* All this non-happening of the much-touted event is moderately amusing. Sort of reminds me of Holmes's "curious incident of the dog in the night time." Will the fact that nothing has happened so far make this event all the more memorable in the lore of the Spiderweb boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Maybe it's like one of those movies where the characters realize at the end that they are all dead.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The real secret to being a great punner is hiding your jokes in your PDN. Nobody ever thinks to look in your PDN.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Edit: This forum has made me terrified of pronouns. If I use the wrong one, let me know and I will get it right next time. You can now see gender in profiles, so if you are unsure, you should always check. And if you've checked the profile but still aren't sure, it is okay to politely ask the person what pronouns they prefer. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It's polite to try to get this right, of course, but people don't normally freak out if you do get it wrong. Somebody will let you know for next time, and that's it. I remember I went the longest time being sure that Delicious Vlish was female, because I had mixed up somebody else's post with his in my memory. It happens. (The fact that Delicious Vlish might really be a vlish, for all I actually know of the being behind the PDN, is irrelevant. He identified here as male, and I screwed that up, but he was cool about it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
