OSY History

Imitation Gruel

Sat Feb 16 23:33:17 2002

In the beginning there was darkness. Then there was the internet. And it was good.

And in February of 2001 Jeremy Reimer, a Canadian, though we won't hold it against him, created OSY. And it was good.

And on February 26 of 2001 Imitation Gruel found OSY. And he saw that it was good. And he registered there.

And he found that OSY was permanently wonderful. And he stayed there. And he posted. And he posted. And he posted some more.

And on August 29th of 2001 he made his 1000th post; and created a thread to celebrate this milestone. And the thread was good. Only moments after his 1000th post came his 1001st, and he became OSY's fourth Captain. And the promotion was good.

And he did hold this rank for a long time, and he did hold it well.

On November 6 of 2001 he made his 2000th post. And he did create a thread in celebration of this milestone. And the thread was good.

Time has passed since November 6 of 2001, as time tends to do. A total of eight people have made the rankage of Captain. Only one, so far, has ascended beyond to Admiral. He is AYB. I will gain that rank soon enough.

We are one forum. This is one forum, the anti-forum, a place of few rules, even fewer boudaries, and where Chaos reigns. Just because he can.

It is a forum with a moderator who moderates without moderating. It is a forum that has significant meaning by those who Fate chose to dominate it. Here, all bets are off.

We have come from distinct places and distinct lives to change things here. All things change, always. Life is always moving. When it stops moving it dies.

If the forum died tomorrow, which we hope it doesn't, all of us would be affected, because we have changed due to the forum. We may have learned things due to the forum. And some of us know each other better because of the forum.

Sometimes, people who don't know any better think they can stand alone. Truth only comes when you realize this is impossible. No one can stand alone because they would have no sense of self and would not be able to distinguish themselves from the nothingness around them.

When you gain restrictions you gain options. When you are confined you have freedom.

OSY is a forum and an anti-forum. It is better that way.

Treasure it, because nothing truly lasts.

and on the first day of OSY, I tried to register.  And yea and 40 leagues of oh lordy lord, Reimer didn't have a mail server.

And God spake "wait another day until this asshole gets a mail server"

and I did.  And it was good.

Thanks for the reminder-- I have to change the mail server functions to reflect the changeover from @home to @shaw... done.

Feb 25th 2001 was OSY's first day online... the one year anniversary is coming soon!

Yippie!

One whole year of trollish poopdom!

Hurrah, Hurrah INDEED!

I cant wait for the festivities.  Perhaps the Great Reimer would like to prepare a "State of the Union" address reflecting on his kingdom. :?)
