You know how in DOGMA, "god" was never really "incapacitated," and the universe was never really in danger?
It is altogether possible that the fine VA folk are enjoying an extended weekend celebration, away from their computers, and will return on the 5th to perform the "divine miracle" of flipping the current board, and erasing it as if it had never happened. Like ALanis on the broken street. (Keeping this shit real, yo. On topic, and all.)
How manifest and plentiful are the miracles of this place? We saw a major film actor whose work we all enjoy "petition" for a role in a major feature film. As you point out, Kev kept us "in the loop" as to his progress with the final installment of the keen world he has made on film. How awesome is this?
But they have fun for a weekend,and "go away"... and everybody freaks out--THE BOARD IS TOO LONG; THERE'S BAD FEELINGS! EVERYBODY IS GETTING WEIRD!!
I think that the current board is what happens without the pruning of "deleted posts." I betcha it would spiral into this most days if Toads or Ming or whomever wasn't on the case. I betcha Smalls is dreaming fevered dreams of holding his mythic "Magic Eraser" at this point. (And at *this* point, I'd give it to him!)
I do agree with you, it seems there is a summer influx of D students... This is part of the inherent pitfalls of ubiquitous internet access. In any case, I'm sure that the "abandonment" of the board is a tempest in the tiniest of teapots-- It **is** July 4th weekend. Maybe Ming & Toads are driving out to some big-ass party somewhere..
When everybody "gets back," I'm embarrased to say that it will be akin to parents arriving home after a 5 day trip to find the house torn apart and splattered with the vomit and feces of a very juvinile and destructive high-school party.
"We leave you alone for a few days, and THIS is what you do?"
Anyway, fret not. Hopefully, Breckiono has put in one of his requests for a mass banning. (A sword of Damocles that hangs over my head, that thought.)
