What will become of this place? Nargs Send a noteboard - 21/01/2014 09:40:56 PM

This is taken from a recent XKCD post - I thought it was reflective of what will happen to this forum...

Only a few of us ever found this place but we became friends (or enemies )
We kept coming here to check in. Daily? Twice Daily? Thrice?
As the Book series aged, so did we.

We don't know who runs the server - We don't know why its still working so many years later.
Maybe we're some sysadmin's soap opera. It will probably vanish someday. But for now, it's our meeting place -- our hideaway.

A life's worth of chat buried in the deep web. But even if it lasts forever, we won't. When we're gone, who will remember us? Who will remember this strange little world and the friendships we built here?

Nobody.

This place is irrelevant. Ephemeral. One day it will be forgotten. And so will we.
