"It's working!"
"I know it's working! Post!" (halavana)
Boromir: One does not simply lurk in Middle
Earth! ..Its gates are guarded by more than just moderators;
there are
posters there that do not sleep, and the place is riddled with
discussions, musings, humor, and poetry! The very air you breathe is
heavy with inklings. Not with 10,000 RW jobs to do can you resist
posting! Lurking? It is folly! (Linaewen)
If you ask it of me, I will post
for you... I know what I must do; it's just I'm afraid to post. (Ladyhawk)
"You shall be...the Members of the Boards!" "Great! Where are we
posting?" (TrebleMaker)
Boromir: Have you seen it, Aragorn?
The white fingers of the posters as they type, even though it is past
midnight? Their eyes glimmering with fatigue and weariness? Have you
heard them called home by the clear voices of their families who are
waiting to be fed?... One day, their threads will lead them there, and
the Moderators will take up the call, "The Lords of Posting must
return!"
(Linaewen)
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there are still some good posts in this world, Mr. Frodo!
Gollum: "Don't look at the posts! Hobbits go down...make little blue
posts of their own." (Laerindae)
The thread goes ever on and on,
Down from the post where it began
Now far ahead the thread has gone,
And I must post it where I can! (Old Toby)
Frodo: I wish I had never come to the boards.
Gandalf: ' so do all who live on the
boards, but that is not
for them to deny...all they have to decide is what to read
and what to skim....do not be too quick to deal out kleenex warnings or
LOL's for only the inklers can see the end.'
(boriel)
From Avondster:
Gimli: Oh yes, just a simple matter of finding a way through ME,
an
impassable labyrinth of razor-sharp discussions. And after that, it
gets even better! An inspiring row of threads, as far as the eye can
see!
Aragorn: Those are our Boards.
*************
Aragorn: You fell...
Gandalf: Through filters and lurkers. From
the lowest threads to the highest post I fought the trespassing poster.
Until at last I deleted my enemy and moved his post to the Trash
Directory. Decipher took me... and I strayed out of ME and PP, the
threads wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as Oscar night at
the Pony. But it was not the end, I felt life in my keyboard again. I
was sent back here, until my task is done.
Aragorn: Gandalf...
Gandalf: Gandalf? Yes... that was what they
used to call me. Gandalf the Blue, that was my handle. I am Gandalf the
Green. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the Boards.
****************
Gandalf: Theoden, son of Thengel, too long have you sat behind your
computer.
(A little later, Gandalf takes Theoden outside)
Gandalf: Breathe the free air again, my friend.
(Theoden sniffs, and looks at Gandalf)
Theoden: Where is my own thread? Where is my post?
(Theoden goes back to his desk. Gandalf rolls his eyes at Aragorn)
From onónë:
Frodo: You know the URL for the boards.
Gollum: Yes.
Frodo: You've posted there before.
Gollum: Yes.
Frodo: You will send us the link to the ME board!
********
Gandalf: Post, you fools!
********
Aragorn: You have my DSL.
Legolas: And my Netscape.
Gimli: And my Explorer.
::Legolas gives Gimli a nasty look::
*********
Pippin: You need someone with a fast connection for this board...
internet... thing.
Merry: Well, that rules YOU out, Pip!
*********
Elrond: Our list of Newbies grows thin!
*********
Arwen to Aragorn: I choose Dial-Up!
*********
Gandalf the Green: You Shall Not Post!
*********
Theoden: You must lead the people to Middle Earth!
**********
Gollum: Filthy little filters! They starred us!
********
Treebeard: Many of these inklings were my friends... stories I had read
since chapter one!
*********
Sam: Do you want to know what happened to
Boromir? Do you want to know why your brother died? He tried to take
the greenness from Frodo. After swearing an oath to protect him, he
tried to have him deleted! The boards drove your brother mad!
**********
Eomer: Saruman has edited the posts of the king and claimed lordship of
the keyboard!
**********
Legolas: This thread is old... very old... full of puns and one-liners!
********
Hey Ho! To the boards I go!
To post some stuff... I've got time to blow.
The kids may call, the dinner grow mold,
But there'll still be....
Many posts to post!
Sweet is the sound of clacking keys
