From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand... On the Death of Mindsay... I have been wondering if it is just me who has the feeling that Mindsay is on a downward spiral into nothingness. There was a time when the positive energy of Mindsay forced me to take an active role in its well being, and now I no longer have that feeling...
I have a friends list that grows smaller by the week, and those who have not deleted their accounts have not added to the community in over thirty days. There was a time when I had trouble reading all the new entries in my inbox, and now I can get caught up if I only read them once a week...
Maybe the community has changed and I missed its occurrence. It's possible that this change went unnoticed by me, and by the time that I saw it, it was too late for me to correct my course...
Just recently another friend of mine deleted her account. I thought of e-mailing her and asking her why, but I won't do it for I just figure that if the reason is good enough to not notify me, it is probably none of my business though the thought of e-mail does creep into my thoughts at times...
There are so many things that have come and gone over my many years on this Internet thing, so many community that are now just barren wastelands. Like the days I spent doing the IRC thing before the age of IM, I wonder how many are still on IRC. Or all the time that I spent on the Usenet that I witnessed as it crashed and burned - most is gone though there are a few last outposts struggling to remain alive. And Yahoo! groups and my group, that once was a vibrant living society and now nothing remains but smoldering wreckage. And the list could go on and on with all the message boards that I belonged to and the mailing lists that I subscribed to, but I don't have the time to write volumes on ancient history...
It has been a long strange journey that I have been on over the course of these many years, and I have a feeling that this will not change anytime in the near future...
This is the Word of the AntiCrust...
Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...
