I'm sorry but you'll reduced to one back-up thread in the Future is Forever Forum.

Unfortunately, several of you will be killed off before the move. (Sorry Pov & Lardy)

Will this be a new back-up thread or a reprint?

Darn it! That mean I'll only be appearing like once every sixth month or so, and even then in a crowd shot!

But the MMB is so close to #200,000 posts! It's not fair to cancel so close to a momentous milestone!

We need to start a SpiderGirl-style write-in campaign!

Unfortunately, fanboy favorites Lash Lad and Cobalt Kid will be hogging tons of panel time when characters like Thora, Dr. Mayavale, Clive and Time Teller Lad leave for political careers or get married and retire!

I hear STU will let himself go like TMK Nura...

The blow would be lessened if everyone got groovy new avatars, usernames and/or locations!

Maybe we should all follow Pov's example and change our names to our nickname versions? We'd be Cobie, FC and Eryk in this thread thus far!

Hey, remember that time I changed my username to "."?

A creative zen moment of nirvana! We should all take such a drastic step again in protest to the cancelling of the MMB!

Hmmmph but what about my credit card bills. I cant go shopping on a backup feature's salary.


And dammit, canceled just as I'm assuming the leadership in the absence of the Leader and new elections. My term will be off panel. *sob*

If it helps, several years from now your term will be retroactively filled with lots of groovy, untold tales! And since you being leader is basically the only thing we know about this term, you'll be at least a supporting player in each tale!

Oops! We've got too many members! I suggest we let the computer decide which of us is least useful, and let them resign!

Well, I'm a completist. I'll keep posting until the MMB is cancelled.

any chance of a spin off?

Oh dear God. I'm going to be a Giffin throwaway line/reference in "Whatever Happened to Ambush Bug"!!

My mission is too important to let something as trivial as the MMB's impending cancellation deter me.

At least I'll get to be the leader in the backup feature.

Heck, there's no worries...

the MMB will just be relaunched with an all-star creative team and a new #1 post!

I hear they may even 'sex it up' a little bit to increase posts!

And LW will find that this will send it into a tailspin from which it may never recover--akin to an LW "Countdown"!

LW posters calling en masse for the firing of MMB EIC, Non Sequidio!

Since Lardy's already died once, maybe he'll only appear as an adult newsman in the reboot.

All Non-Sequidio cares about is posts, posts, posts! He cares nothing for the integrity of the MMB itself!

Does this mean we have to indulge in a massive crossover role-play End of An Era fan-fic?

YES!

I hear Sequidio's planning on publishing something called "Bestiality Crisis" in which Shawna Sheep is murdered, and a flashback reveals she was, in fact, raped by Cobalt Kid!!!

No, no, no, no!

Too much! Too far! I heard that was too grim and Sequidio's boss Pop Warner had it changed to a less offensive, but still terrible, shaving.

Oddly enough, Gladys the Sentient Disco Ball ends up the villain in this piece and loses her mind. She just catch a break as a character.

Actually, they're planning to re-retcon it as more of a heavy petting!

Yeah but it'll have those great Alex Ross covers that won't have a thing to do with the story inside the book!

*Choke*

I've been reassigned to 'LMB Prep', a digest-sized magazine for 8-12 year old girls. Apparently I'm gonna be an instructor at some prep-school for wannabe superkids.

I'm so suing the Warners for constructive dismissal.

Wait until you see what they'll have you wearing in it. Lets just say that even though they claim its for 8-12 year olds, I suspect its really for 35-45 year old men.

I would use your private nickname for me, Cobie, but it's considered a derogatory term on 27 United Planets member worlds...

Is that like Jay calling Shannon Elizabeth "Booboo Kitty F@#$" in J&SBSB" ?

It's already predicted by CSN to be a big seller in Japan. It's on my pull list.

All posters immediately report to the roleplay event to high profile yourself in the crossover in hopes for a more popular place in the relaunch!

Er, but you stick with me Crujeckie, we can use the same 'method' we've always used to be popular, the kind that involves a small amount of bedsheets and ceiling fans obscuring specific things.

Bah all the characters of the MMB should go on strike to protest editorial stupidity.

I know the Alt-IDs have unionized but then a splinter faction of insane ex-girlfriend Alt-IDs attacked them.

Did you hear they're going to Tamper Lad into the new STU? Ugh. Tamper Lad is perfect as he is already, they don't need to try to shoe-horn him into another identity. And why the need for a 2nd STU? The first one is great...I'm so sick of all these identity switches. Especially when they're just trying to high-profile another green LMBer (and I have no problem with green superheroes, I just want them to develop as they're own LMBers, not take on the costumed identies of old ones).

I'll probably buy the Golden Age STU archives.

It appears the readership has reacted heatedly to news of the cancellation, as posts are actually up! I wonder if this ground-up movement will help?

So umm ... your specific things can be obsured with a small amount of bedsheet? Sorry to hear that.

Hmmm daily Starbucks or the a new 20 issue a month MMB crossover event? I think the caffeine has it.

As suspected, although the internet caused an inflated bump in MMB posts, sales pretty much died down again. Cancellation hovers again.

I suggest a full-on relaunch. (Not reboot)

Has there been a price increase?

I heard their slashing threads to get more posters.

How about If I slash some posters to get more space for threads?

Hrun going on a bloody rampage always used to boost MMB circulation in the past!

Have we tried the one where we get a popular artist to draw extremely well-endowed female characters on the covers?

Unfortunately, that's how the MMB was initially created.

We'll add 8-page back-up threads.

Our annuals will include a time-travel trip to our old message boards.

Well MMB, you may be back on the chopping block. You better sex it up real fast, and I don't just mean that tired old subplot of Pov not wearing pants.

Hey... I'm doing my part. The Latest "100 Toothpicks" post has not one... but two... pics of a Legion World resident completely naked except for a dog collar!

(Admittedly... your mileage may vary with that one. At least... I hope it does.)

Well, I wore those "flight pasties" and that matching "flight G-String" in the last 'boot. It's somebody else's turn. (Do you Editorial yahoos have any idea how bad all that hair itched as it was growing back? Bleah!)

I heard a rumor we were being replaced by Monitor Board Canada!

Poutine yeah!

It's the final countdown.



We are going to start dropping like flies.

I find it hard to believe IB has not sexed up this thread yet ... much less this forum.

<blank stare>

I didn't know that I was the one with the reputation for sexing things up here! Must be all the gratuitous sex scenes Blaze and I had in LOTO.

Lash has retired.

Take a hint from Peebs: Give us a drum solo while wearing satiny shorty-shorts.

(Cheese-tastic Eighties mullet optional.)

I suppose I could resurrect the fishnet shorts that Spellbinder gave me way, way, way back.



Those are mighty big shoes to fill. And you know what they say about men with big shoes...

I hope there was a cape and a top hat, too.






Uh... they go through a whole lot of shoelaces...?

I was going to say they have big feet, but then that wouldn't be true for clowns.





Funny thing about that cape, there's a big hole right over my backside. It gets quite chilly when I'm flying.

I wonder ... why the cape then?

To add some mystery, of course!
