I went and looked at Zap's board for the first time in years and you asked about keeping the archives. Why ? Isn't our community's whole history online a load of crap ?
That's the way I've seen it for awhile now and I thought you felt that way too.

Yes, but I enjoy crap. So do you.

You're sounding mighty disenfranchised.
Nothing's changed. It is and was what it is and was. It's not like this is some sort of big revelation to you, is it?

It's just odd to see somebody acting like any of it had any signficance at all. I thought I was the last holdout in regards to that and when I realized I was, I put it in the garbage awhile back.

Well...which parts now have no significance to you? The arguments? The, uh, reach? By that, I mean the attempt. The one thing that was good about all that was the attempt, the striving, if you know what I mean.
It's sort of like modern political affairs. The world situation is in the toilet. But there are damn sure a lot of people fervently TRYING.
That is what was so good about the effort. The effort.

well imo most of the people involved, like pretty much the whole crowd didn't really care at all about anyone or anything so it was just basically jerking around the very few people who actually did.
So I don't really think it was a real effort other than a big game on the parts of almost all the participants.

That's not really true. Most of those people who were so excitable, so risable, so your opponents cared deeply. Just as you did.
You don't spend that much time on something you don't put any stakes in.
Now, if you're talking the great majority of casual readers/posters...you're right...they really didn't give a shit.
