• RE: Wondering what happened to Holysmoke

    Years ago, Quarrella made Cassell and Seaborn his
    co-moderators. Of the three of them, Ross was the only one
    actually there in recent years, so he has been the de facto
    moderator since October 2003. It briefly came back to life
    last year, when Ross lifted old bans and created some new
    rules, but then dropped out of sight again.

    AFAIK *everybody* there dropped out of sight.

    Yeah, somewhere my high school English teachers are cursing at me. I ungrammatically said that Ross dropped out of sight, but I MEANT that the
    echo dropped out of sight.

    Hey, beeotches!

    What the fug happened to Holysmoke? Did Steve Q. shut it
    down?

    Boredom, after the new moderator there

    Who was that?

    (it had been abandoned and he
    took it over), instituted a bunch of new rules and then threw Ceppa out
    of it for violating them.

    Figures.

    Shit, that echo was rollin' for years! I loved it!

    And the best last year was when Steve Q. was sleeping. Then he showed up in a foul mood and stopped a 200+ messages a day good thang.

    And he called ME "the most erratic person ever".

    Not to say I wasn't erratic...but I don't destroy echoes. ;)

    Well, actually...

    Thanks, Earl.

    That refreshes my memory.

    It was after the Sewer Shark invasion. (which was fun)

    I just missed the death nell (is it "nell"?")

    'Knell,' I think.

    Death knell!

    Sound nice.

    Which reminds me.


    SUICIDE PACT! YOU FIRST! ;)
