Yeah, so it's a little early. (Or a little late - did something for New Year's Eve on Monday) Just felt like saying something.

If you're looking for friends and happy sunshine, System Wars is not the place to be. If you don't agree with me, you are my enemy, and if I fail to convince you to my side, I'll dismiss you as a fool. Such is the attitude of the war-torn apocalypse that is the System Wars forum. As hardcore as the ****ing internet can get (as long as you don't use Google.)

But deep within this well of sadness, this underworld of anger and hatred, this cesspool of nothingness, there are people. Like, people people. People that you can get to know, people who have lives, people who are actually...pretty cool. We are the community, and underneath the mountains of ****, we're all friends here.

It seems as though we never cease going for each other's throats, but there are times when we can all agree and unite in a rare scene of oneness. For example, no one likes Jack Thompson. Everyone likes making fun of Big Rigs (except for the people who are sick of hearing about Big Rigs). No one wants the small freedom we have on this board lessened - all just examples, of course.

In the end, people can try to invade and divide our community, but they will never succeed, because we will unite once again. You make the rules we don't like, we'll break 'em in such an astounding amount you'll have no choice but to rewrite them. If you ban our members, they'll come back however many times it takes. You take away our board, we'll all flock to another site - and by then, you've missed out.

I have heard people say that the board is a waste of time. I have also heard those same people many other times, on the only board I frequent. Know why? Because it's like a train wreck mixed with a hurricane and lots of chewing gum - you can't look away, and it may be tragic, but it's so damn unique. That uniqueness is maintained by the equallyunique community, and as these doubters and naysayers begin to lurk, they too will become absorbed into the chewing-gum train-hurricane wreck.

So I say to you, won't you join us?
