I'm only gonna say this once, based on that handy Bioshock quote down there: I ain't movin' with y'all to the internet version of the North Atlantic sea floor. I've seen how this exodus goes, and I'm not becoming a drugged-up lunatic corpse pinned to a wall with a speargun.
Some of you are good people. Some of you I sincerely want to throw under a bus. Some of you are both, and you know who you are. Whatever happens, I know I'll find a way to stay in contact with the ones I want to stay in contact with, at least.
But I am tired. I've been tired for a long while now. Lolcow-watching used to be a fun pastime, a way to relax from screeching outrage as you giggled over some fool who shits on stuffed toys and posts it for the world to see. Now everything is a moral crusade, a fight over some perceived offense or violation of 'rights', a paranoid cannibalistic shitfest on both sides of the aisle, and I tell you, I am tired.
Also y'all goin' on about internet censorship like my SJW friend who said Trump's election would cause the collapse of the American entertainment industry. lol calm down
But as I've said before, and I'll say again: Good or bad, I have enjoyed, and learned, from my experiences here. I won't lie, I will be sad to see the site go, if it goes.
Maybe some of you think I'm being an autist, and I can't blame you. Maybe some of you feel the same way I do. That being said, look. There's a point one has to say enough is enough and know when to quit while they're ahead. To 'evacuate before the hurricane', as one might say down here.
If you think you can survive the rising floodwaters, more power to you. If you can't, and you know you can't, I urge you to get the fuck out while you still can.
That includes you, Null. Do you *really* want to be some kind of Nero, fiddling away as Rome burns around you? Do you sincerely want to make a website dedicated to laughing at internet morons your entire life, to the point it's sending you into debt, to the point you have to live in some second or third world shithole to survive on the BitCoin chump change people throw at you, while said morons threaten your life and family? I can understand that you would "RATHER BE FUCKING DEAD THAN GO BACK TO WORKING TIMESHEETS" but is this really that much better a situation?
Regardless of what happens, I won't judge any of you for whatever decisions you do make.
All I ask that you really think about things before you make them.
