But what may I ask, good sir, is the point?

I had someone ask me today “But Bytey, what is the point of this strange website you’re constructing? You complain about dead forums, but it seems to me that to attract an audience, one needs a purpose… no?”

And to this I responded: There is no point. No porpoise.

Quite simply, I have no goal in creating this site. Well, there is complete world domination, but that was really an afterthought. My philosophy these days has been “build it and they will scratch their heads”. Is this some dadaist concoction, meant to astound and annoy? No, that it is neither.

Lets look at the facts:

I has a forum
I has som blogginz
I has som musics
I has som bad picturz
I has som writinz I’ve yet to post

And now you can see. Pointful? I think not.

I’m not trollin. I’m BYTE-Smasher.

dead forum is dead

dead forum is dead... just like sad cat is sad

I’m sad to say, there is absolutely no action on my forums. None. And by none, I mean there is some, but it’s mostly me… and even I am guilty of being a horrible slacker, and lurking not enough.

This would be an issue of great concern in times past, but these days, I know that my self worth cannot be measured simply by my popularity on some website I throw together for the heck of it… if that were the case, sad cat would be a sad, sad cat indeed.

No, I’m better than that… I know that my lack of hawt website action is nothing more than an indication that I have very productive friends who have lives packed with more activities and tasks than normal people could handle. They’d have nobel prizes by now, but they’re just too damned busy to meet with the award committee.

And those that aren’t so busy have become zombie slaves to the evil entity known as “the facebooks”. That’s right, bloggerdom has a new enemy, and it’s face is booklike. It seems that “hooking up with old friends” is now more important than hooking up with old friends. Damn you, friends. Damn you to a room. A room filled with sad kittens and mudkips. I herd u leik mudkips.

So will my forums end up thriving like they did in the hayday of my extended highschool career? The answer, my avid readers, is no. And I shouldn’t take offense to it. I’m simply one person fighting against the interests of many. Simply one cog on a lone gear in the machine called “the blogoblagosphereacube”.
