Bring it Back to Life!!!!

[Andrew]

Dunenewt and emprworm returning. This is... a sign...

Wormsign?

[exatreide]

Who put out all the thumpers?

[gunner154]

There can be only one.

[Khan]

Well the revolution truly is dead now, ~500 posts so far this month. Although discussion has picked up slightly over the past view days, for me at least ;)

[Beonid]

Finally, back to the good old days of laziness and lurking...  ;)

[Edric O]

It was beautiful while it lasted, though, and we proved that we can raise activity whenever we want to.

Now, let's at least get 1000 posts this month.

[Beonid]

I'll make an effort to post more... at least for this month.

[gunner154]

Just back from overseas... :)

[D2k Sardaukar]

There can be only one.

Hehe, that's me indeed. :)

What does ex-atreides mean with "Who put out all the thumpers?", I don't know that expression.

[Kokiri-Mentat]

  So where did emprworm disappear too?  He just kinda came and went....

I don't really know him, but he's obviously an old timer that came back for a brief visit.

[Khan]

I think after he realised he wouldn't be turned into a martyr he just kind of slinked off.

[gunner154]

He probably didn't see it practical to carry on as everybody was invalidating his points. Profit =< Zero.

[Kokiri-Mentat]

Hmmm....

Too bad.  He seemed like a pretty funny/intelligent guy when he wasn't ranting about his hate for Islam and his dislike for the forum rules.  oh, well.

*edit*

OMG some one posted in Shiroko's FAQ's!  looky....

Guys, I guess it IS over?

[Khan]

Sadly I think you're right. I guess when people are in term time they all have more time to post. Just think of it as the FED2K summer holiday. We'll all have so many stories when we come back.

[gunner154]

So it's a cycle and the cycle begins.

[Andrew]

I blame George Bush.

;)

[Dunenewt]

Now that George Bush is no longer in power, and I'm at least posting every day again, I thought it would be a very good time resurrect this topic.  I think a sensible aim should to get at least 1000 posts a month.

[Andrew]

Nah, we should really go over 9000.

;D

[Dunenewt]

Now that really would be something, although I think we'd need a new game or a blockbuster movie to get that amount of posts.

[Andrew]

I was referring to an internet meme "over 9000" :(

Missed the joke.

[Dunenewt]

Well yesterday had the most posts for over 6 months.

[Edric O]

Since it seems difficult to get people to increase their posting rate for no reason, maybe we should give them reasons - i.e. organize events of some sort.

[gunner154]

That's assuming they'd want to take part in the organisation of such events...

I think with Dunenewt posting again, we have the expansionary fiscal incentives to kickstart the post economy.

Okay, that was bad, I know :(

[Dunenewt]

Well, I do try to find all the latest news on Dune, not there's not much out there, and not many people seem to notice what I do find.  What kind of events should we organise?  I think there's another Emperor tournament being organised as well.
