Re: A thought about ULMF...
Alright, lemme take a swing at this. The atmosphere of the forums looked a little something like this as it evolved.
Aika: "Hey LM, can I make a forum dedicated to you?"
LM: " Yeah, no problem. Now please excuse me, I'm a very busy man with busy things to do." *Drives off a cliff*
Aika: "Sweet, he posted it on the blog too! I wonder how long it-"
Darkfire: "ohai. I was feverishly refreshing the blog over and over for any more posts when I saw this forum get mentioned. I'm your first member, and not even a day's gone by!"
Aika: "Oh, well... How many more of you arri-" *One day later* "Twenty!? How the hell did that..."
Everybody: "Shut up and make some sections for us to talk in."
Supermeme: "hay guise can i jo-"
Everybody: "GTFO"
Supersonic: "dat guy was a fag"
Aika: "That's the same guy."
Everybody: "AHAHAH, FAG."
Linemarvel: "Hey everybody. I'm gonna be a cocktease and just post about thirty times so you think I still remember you all... Aaaaand done. If you'll excuse me again..."
Everybody: "God damn it!"
Aika: "Boy, being administrator sure is hard work. AI! Take over!"
AI: "God damn it."
Aika: "I'll need an army of mods now. Hey, this guy looks reliable."
WJ: "... *runs*"
Onikain: "Hey guys, I made a doujin about Demon Girl. Be sure to check back every once and a while. I plan on making quite a bit of progress in this."
Darkfire: "I love you forever."
Onikain: "The fuck? Get outta here, fag."
Darkfire: "Your resistance only makes me love you more."
Nunu: "Hey guys, here's an RP. I hope we have fun with it." *Several months later*
Darkfire: "WHY ARE WE STILL FIGHTING ZOMBIES."
Nunu: "Oh yeah, I had an RP going. Where was I again?"
Aika: "Well, we're a really tightknit community. How about I invest in a chatroom for everybody?"
Everybody: "Hooray!"
*Later*
Everybody 1:" Fuck you guys! You annoying pieces of shit!"
Everybody 2:" You uptight assholes!"
Onikain: "I'M SICK OF YOU FUCKERS. I'M TAKING YOU DOWN WITH ME!"

AI:"Good thing I set up that email system. Now we just have to wait for Aika to do something about it."
Everybody: "OHGODI'MSOLOST"
Aika: "Hey, this looks like a nice place."
Adbots: "WE WANT YOUR SOUL."
Aika: "Ehh, we'll just stay here temporarily."
*Tentacle Haven!"
Member: "Hey guys, you'll never gues-"
Adbot: "GIMME YO MONEY"
Another member: "My God, I can't take this place much long-"
Adbot: "DON'T CARE. GIMME YO MONEY"
Aika: "Don't worry! I have a solution!"
*Current ULMF!*
AI: "Wanna see a magic trick, guys?"
Everybody: "Sure!"
AI" *Vanish*"
Everybody: "Wow!"
*...*
Everybody: "Oh shit! She's gone!"
Aika: "Oh... Uh, Nunu, do something!"
Nunu: "Oh, alright."
Adbots: "WE FOUND YOU FUCKERS. BUY OUR SHIT."
Everybody: "Damn it!"
Aika: "So check it out guys. You have a rep system, profile customization, social groups, and a variety of other fun things to do here."
Everybody: "I'm sure this'll in no way backfire!"
*Several rep wars later*
Everybody: "I don't give a shit about rep. So long as I maintain mine, of course."
Cappy: "ohai guise"
Everybody: "SUPERMEME, GTF- Oh wait."
Everybody: "Nunu, didn't we used to have another admin?"
Nunu: "AI? No, she's had life situations to deal wi-"
Everybody: "That's not what we mean."
Nunu: "Ohh. Aika. Well, he's gotten rich and famous because of these forums, so he's become a millionaire superspy action movie star."
Everybody: "Wow!"
Nunu: "Oh, and he really likes TF2."
Aika: "I'M STILL HERE. DON'T FRET. Here's a shoutbox! It's like a chatroom, but not really!"
Everybody: "Hoor-" *Five minutes later*
Everybody: "-ay!"
Yeah I'm probably missing a lot of shit, but it's what I can recall off the top of my head.
