Don't get me wrong, because it's still groovycool, but I was just thinking last night about how things were in the early days, when we were this ragtag band of refugees from the DCMBs who'd finally found a home. There was such a feeling of needing to defend LW, both from the enemies we'd made and from its detractors on the "official" Legion boards. I remember how freaked out we'd all be when the board would go down for a few days.
I don't know. I worry sometimes that we've become a bit too established, that it's become too easy to take what we've got here for granted. I kind of miss having to fight for it.

When I first got here there was a feeling like people would defend this place to the death. I think it's largely still here, Eryk. I think we're naturally evolving, although I hope it's not to any kind of establishment. I miss the nostalgia of first discovering this place too, although it was about three months after you. I know the board can sometimes feel like it has it's ups and downs, or even get 'cluttered' in places, but that's just one more 'fight' to fix it. Whatever the case, I'll still fight for LW by your side, especially now that it's become *thee* message board to be at

It's true! Legion World has become the establishment.
What can be done to re-establish it as the premiere indie-rawk Legion mb?

How about this:
Abandon all threads over four pages (except SHAKES)?
Start all new topics that let go of past, petty differences?
A bold new direction for the MMB? Not changing any continuity or established things of course, just trying to get things back to an earlier feel…

I myself had become so desperate for some good old fashioned naughtiness that I had to terminate Kippers and Matthew's terms as leader & deputy.
BAH! Enough of this! As of now, I'm going underground R.E.B.E.L.!

I think we should become the Stick Figure Legion World. We don't need your stinkin' fully formed figures! Give me fat, catcher's mitt hands and doorknob feet!

Jumpin' Catfish! I'd say I'm part of REGEL, but that doesn't sound cool enough!
Remember the real craziness that you and I caused on the Phineas board that day Lash, resulting in three of my IDs banned and a bunch of yours--including the MLLASH ID? Now that was some extreme craziness!
I even posted a thread called “Dear Ms. Kamphausen” in my Pious One ID, asking Rob’s mother to stop him from ruining our fun!

Let's all change our names to LMB #, in the order of how we joined the LMB! That makes Lash LMB#1, me LMB#4 and Cru LMB#8! For those who aren't sure, they could just make it up!
We could be like the Progeny!

Well, I wonder if the indie-rock feeling would stick around better if some people weren't so filled with ennui as to give up their armies, their avatars, and their private messages ... {grins, ducks, runs}

Don't you realize that I'm doing all that to try to regain that Indie Rock feeling? Did we have armies in the early days? NO! Did I have a kewl Dean Lee drawn avatar in the early days? NO! I made do with constipated Calamity King! And did I have Private Messages in the early days? Well, YES! But nobody ever used them except for important stuff!

The "my college dorm room had some charm because of the bookcases made from stolen cinderblocks, milk cases, and construction-site plywood" nostalgia argument won't cut it, amigo. We have more artistic creature comforts, that doesn't mean we've sold out!

And ennui is a symptom, not the problem!

Bah! I'm with Grey-- I deserve fabulous things like avatars manipped by Monkey or drawn by Dean, and a water fountain that pours expensive champagne. I don't know how I ever survived at the old boards!

Being a R.E.B.E.L. is too much work! I'd much rather lie here and be fanned.

Don't you remember, Lash? Don't you remember how you were always assigning someone the duty of fanning you in the early days? And don't you remember that they did it?
We cared about one another then. There was none of this "I was elected so-and-so's fake boyfriend, but then I bailed out!" crap!

On the old board, I'd never have been allowed to have my own planet and to haphazardly revoke the leader's authority because I got bored! Can you believe how restricted I used to be? It's SHAMEFUL!

*choke* I'm so torn!
on the one hand, I enjoy lying here and growing fat on my own decadence!
But on the other hand... ummm...
There's an other hand...?
