Is NPF dying?

[Aldurin]

The main fuel for the fire (8-bit) is now gone. I suspect I sense decreasing activity from day to day.

Is the forum dying off, or are we pretending to so that Brian gets scared into doing some continuation of a regular update comic?

Otherwise, fuck this, I'm moving to xckd.

I came back to 51 unread threads today. NPF doesn't even have a tummy ache.

[POS Industries]

I think the main thing to keep in mind is that the bulk of the regular membership stopped caring about 8BT years ago.

Pretty much this. I think if anything, it might be slower due to people all having finals and such.

[POS Industries]

I mean, seriously, the guy's got like five other comics, they're all better than 8BT, and he can actually make a good living doing them.

Support those.

[Seil]

Woah, woah, woah.

8-Bit is actually a comic?

[Fenris]

Woah, woah, woah.

8-Bit is actually a comic?

I know! I thought it was a fanfic for the longest time, too.

[Seil]

I had no idea. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJZOpnt4VDs)

[Eltargrim]

Short answer, no.

Long answer, fuck no.

[Archbio]

I mean, seriously, the guy's got like five other comics, they're all better than 8BT, and he can actually make a good living doing them.

What guy?

Edit: Wait, do you mean Jeffrey Rowland?

[POS Industries]

Byron Clevelander or whatever the hell his name is.

[phil_]

Rowland only has two comics going. It's his supreme T-shirt empire that we should fear slash aspire to align ourselves with.

[synkr0nized]

Otherwise, fuck this, I'm moving to xckd.

I lol'd.

[Green Spanner]

Wait.

The main fuel for the forum was 8-bit?

What?

[Aldurin]

Wait.

The main fuel for the forum was 8-bit?

What?

I may have miscalculated, it's probably more like the soda that gets spilled in the driver's seat.

[Loyal]

I'm not sure I understand that analogy.

[shiney]

You're not happy it happened and now your balls are sticky and wet. And not in the fun way.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Is he trying to say that 8-bit is an inconvenience? Because I'm pretty sure that a soda stain ain't really helping to make the car run at all.

I'd hate to see your car.

[Bells]

I wanted to find some sort of obscure analogy to make fun of the first post with a XKCD comic, so i went there to look for one,

I have found it.

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/desert_island.png


Now there is 50% chance nobody will get it, 25% chance i killed it by explaining it, and about 10% chance people will get it. The remaining 15% i'll leave to consider Crotch sickness and wind resistance while driving.

[Osterbaum]

It really isn't that hard to get.

[Bells]

Well, yeah, but with this forum dying and all...

[Wigmund]

Did we lose our load-bearing boss?

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I was under the impression that not one of the regulars here actually cares about 8-Bit Theater at all. I mean, I do. But it's not my reason for being here and I'm not a regular, I'm just a really noisy lurker. Which is to say, I regularly lurk noisily. So maybe I'm a regular after all?

I lol'd.
I did too.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I'd really blame our loss in ratings for our imminent death. Network may pull us soon.

And yeah, very few regulars go to the 8-bit subforum from what I understand. I regularly read 8-bit (well I did), but I left that subforum after a while, only rarely checking in on it.

[Bells]

We came for the 8 Bit, we stayed for the Yodadog... and whores. Don't forget the whores.

I'd really blame our loss in ratings for our imminent death. Network may pull us soon.

I heard that in the next season one of the Admins will die in a helicopter accident, and be replaced by it's evil twin... who is also a robot.

[Flarecobra]

Didn't that happon already?

[Bard The 5th LW]

Technically, he wasn't an Admin when it happened. He was demoted.

But what with Nightsie being gone, I'm not sure who could take up a new antagonist role.

[Seil]

BYRON'S EGO is low. Mneep! Mneep! Mneep! BYRON'S EGO is low. Mneep! Mneep! Mneep! BYRON'S EGO is low. Mneep! Mneep! Mneep!

[Geminex]

But what with Nightsie being gone, I'm not sure who could take up a new antagonist role.
Did somebody say "antagonist"?

[Loyal]

Nightshade was less an antagonist and more like one of those recurring minibosses whose existence in the plot you couldn't really come up with a good reason for.

[synkr0nized]

He's Midboss?

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

He's Midboss?

No that's terrible. Bad synk shame on you.

[PyrosNine]

I'm of the opinion NPF ended, and now we're just in re-runs, but infinite re-runs, like old Star Trek Episodes, and therefore have obtained quasi-immortality long after our actors grow old and fat, and will live on until the death of entertainment media.

[Bells]

Maybe it's not NPF that is dying, maybe... it's NPF Members.... maybe... maybe.... THERE IS A KILLER AMONGST US!

[Geminex]

Naaah. That's crazy talk! You're crazy!

Now, might I lead you into this dark alley here to show you my amazing collection of sharp objects?

[greed]

Don't listen, last time I followed Geminex into an alley on the promise of sharp objects, it was decidedly..... soft and unimpressive.

[Geminex]

At least I managed to scar you emotionally. That's something.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I'll take the Case! I'll find out who the killer is by sundown!

[Aldurin]

Strange how you volunteer so quickly, which would immediately eliminate you as a possibility.

Or what if the killer is Brian Clevinger in a Black Mage costume and Matt Speroni as a side kick dressed as Red Mage?

[A Zarkin' Frood]

What if everyone's the killer.
Except you.

[Kim]

Or what if the killer is Brian Clevinger in a Black Mage costume and Matt Speroni as a side kick dressed as Red Mage?

Now listen, we shouldn't judge them by whatever hijinks they get up to on cosplay night. Shame on you.

[Bells]

Says the dude with the Catgirl on his avatar. You are all in Cahoots!

[Kim]

Speroni thinks I'm pretty! *runs off crying*

[Bells]

Oh my god i'm trapped in a world of illusions!! *runs off crying in the opposite direction*

[Bard The 5th LW]

My God... this case has just become 10 times more complicated.

[rpgdemon]

I think that this thread has proven conclusively: Yes, the forums are dying.

[Aldurin]

No, the souls of the members are dying (assuming person had soul originally).

[Nikose Tyris]

I'm pretty sure only Premontions and Token have soul.

This post is bad and you should feel bad.

On-topic: I submit to you all that for something to die, it has to live first.

I'll take a moment to let that sink in.

[POS Industries]

Moved the thread to General because it's just silly bullshit now and really was never not silly bullshit and probably shouldn't have been in the Forum Related Stuff Forum in the first place so there you go.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Its for the best really.

Because now, this thread is out in the open for all eyes to see! The crimes of this unrepentant killer must be made public!

[Token]

I'm pretty sure only Premontions and Token have soul.

I... How in the hell did I get brought into this?

[Bard The 5th LW]

Because you brought yourself into it. And now you can't get brought out.

Unless, of course, you just leave the thread. Then yeah, you just brought yourself out of it.

[Token]

Dude, you've never seen me dance, or sing, I have absolutely NO soul, sorry
I... How in the hell did I get brought into this?

Ahh man, you guys sure put the semen in amusement!

[Premmy]

I put the semen in a lot of stuff.

Semen everywhere eh? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqvA5IyfSSQ)

[Bells]

Ok, how the hell did THIS thread became about Semen?

Really, Semen and Pokemon... that's like 40% of our content on the last 2 months. I'll have to file a report about this to upper management.

[POS Industries]

I'd say "have to" is putting it a bit strongly.

I'd also say "a bit" is putting it a bit lightly.

[Premmy]

I don't know that, sounds like an Old Black Man's dance to me. You probably know it, though.

[Jagos]

Don't make me start the "Back in my day" stories...

And what the hell do they teach you young' uns anyway? Not a derned thing I tells ya!

[Premmy]

Shut up and smoke your cigarillos, old man.

[Jagos]

Cigar? Why the cigars we had were fresh made imported from Cuba. Of course, Regan had ta go an mess it ALLL up fer us po' 'Merican boys!

*rocks in chair*

Why boy, I could tell yer stories about tha' great Pig War. Had a roast afterwards! It wus jes how it was done in those days! Matter o' fact...

*pulls out a Cuban*
*inhales*

O' pipe down ya ol' Battleaxe! I been smokin since the ripe bold age of 25 an' yer ain't gonna stop me now! It ain't killed me yet, it ain't gonna kill me now!

Now where was I---ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

*snore*

[Bard The 5th LW]

Quick someone take his wallet.

And drop him in a ditch.

[krogothwolf]

Perhaps I should get a more gender obvious avatar...

No way man! Keep the catgirl!

[CelesJessa]

Perhaps I should get a more gender obvious avatar...

Just go with an avatar that is relevant to your interests. Like me! I have some other fabulous gay boy avatars I made but sadly I cannot use them all myself. I'm willing to share with you though.


Also, uh... on topic: Nah NPF isn't dying. And even if it was, like a phoenix it would rise again from it's own ashes!

[Kim]

I can never have enough pictures of gay boys! Hit me with your best shot!

[Token]

I'm pretty sure only Premontions and Token have soul.

I just realized that this was because we're both black. Now I hate you.

[Jagos]

Now I gotta teach you BOTH the electric slide... *sigh*

[Bard The 5th LW]

Celes, can I see one of your gay boy avatars?

[CelesJessa]

Dang, does this mean I have to do one of those trendy "I will give you an avatar of some gay boys" threads?

[Hanuman]

The active threads have decreased by around 2-3 times what they used to have been (possibly because schools out and most people have more of a life?) but the amount of lurkers still roaming is clear.
Personally I migrated to GitP lately, but I should be working on getting those gloves and making a swordchuck video (100% complete before sept).

Ok, how the hell did THIS thread became about Semen?

Crapdammit . . . can't . . . think . . . of . . . joke . . . with both semen and pokemon in it.

So I now officially have this filler response in case stuff like this happens again.

Yeah, but he needed an excuse to post yet another xkcd comic. Without the mouseover-text. Which pretty much means it's only half a comic.

Sort of like posting a Dinosaur Comic without any of the shiznanigans that come with it.

[Revising Ocelot]

Having skipped from Page 1 to 9... why does everything around here devolve into Pokemon?

[Amake]

Pfft, as if I would let it die. You guys are the only ones under the age of 200 who even remotely tolerate me.

...Too personal?

No, it isn't dying.

Then again if I'm ever in a position where my main vital signs are pokemon and dick jokes, please pull the plug on me. Or the trigger if there's no plug.

Fuck yeah... captain sinks with the Ship. Now regret those bold italic letters! REGRET IT!

If NPF dies in a lonely forest, does it make a sound ? :ohdear:

It's not dying, but lots of members are gone.
