My friends, we have reached a crucial crossroads. The scoreboards on which we'd come to rely are no more to be, and I, the Head Moderator, Creator, and self-proclaimed Emperor of this Community, don't work a job where I can internet around for hours on end any longer. This is doubly complicated by the notion that by the time I get home at night I ( Read more... )

I think it'll make a comeback, it just needs a rest for awhile. It just became more of a hassly obligation than a funtime party for me in the latter games.

Aren't you in Iceland? Get off the internet!

I agree, though, it needs a break, maybe. I'm not opposed to someone keepin' it goin' for a bit, and I always have fun answering the questions, but I don't have time to compose, read, respond, and scoreboard right now.

Sort of. It can mean a variety of different things, brought on by yet another variety of different things. In this case, I was mostly saying it was "past its prime," or that it felt sorta worn out. Did you read the link? There are lots of interesting examples and it is pretty well-worded.

Naw, I didn't read it, but that phrase comes from that episode of Happy Days or whatever, where Fonzie jumps over that shark. I've always thought "shouldn't that have been the moment when Happy Days became the best show ever to exist?" Come to think of it though, I think I have read that jumpshark link on Wikipedia before.
