O LORD Thou pluckest me out
ESB’s tent is broken: the last echos of *NM*
Clutch and sink off the top page. The sound of uki
Crosses the blackness, unread. The readers are departed.
JFO, run softly, till I end my post.
ESB bears no new messages, announcements of carnage fests,
Discussions of Eternal, comparisons of weapons, trolls, spammers,
Or other testimony of activity. The readers are departed.
And the CLIQUE, the loitering heirs of the old Bungie crew;
Loched, have left no addresses.
By the ruins of TGI I sat down and wept…
JFO, run softly, till I end my post,
JFO, run softly, for I speak not loud nor boast.
But at my back from an unlocked maintenance closet I hear
The slam of a door, and chuckle spread from ear to ear.

I do not deny it; It is my burden to bear always and forever.

Thermo, you are my utmost hero. In light of an historic moment, this terrible thread in progress deserves your authoritative “no.”

Actually I think that, despite its poor timing, that thread is pretty interesting. The real scourage of ESB (frog blast the ventcore *NM*) is nowhere to be found.

I was also lucky enough to witness the miracle of 2009. Maybe one day we will be able to tell our grandchildren of the time ukimaloner325 pulled his head out of his ass for just a few days.

ukimaloner325 will never admit it — he probably doesn’t even realize it’s happened.
