1.) So I came to a very sad and startling revelation this morning as I was poking around on the Nightwish forum...
By the time I get home from work tonight, it is very possible that it will be closed.
Yep. That's right. I will probably never actually be able to log into the forum and post again. *sigh* I mean, I realize that I haven't been a very active poster since the whole Hartwall Areena/open letter thing 4 years ago (because people seriously pissed me off, to the point where I was a bad, bad Siren and had to disappear off the face of the interwebs >.>), but I read almost everything ever written on there (especially on the band side...the off topic side, not so much...I had a few threads I would follow, but yeah...), and I really am quite torn up about seeing it go. It's like I said to my dear friend last night..."It's the second goddamn end of an era and honestly, I'm getting sick of them!" >.< And this time, we don't even get a fucking DVD!!!
Okay...so yes, I realize that there will be a new forum, but still...it won't be the same. Not everyone is going to make the pilgrimage to the new forum (and unfortunately, it seems the people I really don't care for over there are coming along for the ride...lovely!), and the mods will be different, the rules will be different...it's going to be so weird...

I suppose the only good thing is that people can't hold their post counts/join dates over "n00bs" heads anymore, because we all have to start over. Not that it will stop them, really, but it's a nice thought, isn't it? Ha...
...oh, and I get to sign up as Selene, which is pretty awesome too.
2.) I woke up with a migraine. It's getting worse as I sit here. Oddly, having metal blasting in my ears is the only thing that's really soothing it at all right now...the lights are two bright, people are too obnoxious, and I'm nauseas...I haven't been able to eat anything yet today because I threw up the moment my eyes opened, and I don't dare because I can't go home and if I throw up at work I'm going to want/need to go home...*sigh* This. Epic. Fails.
1. It truly is very, very sad that the forum is now in read only mode. Like ._______. I'm going to miss it intensely. I like the new forum just...not as much as the old one. It was THE official and it was run by Nightwish's friends. Not some French fanclub. It feels less...I dunno...special and legit now...*sigh*
ReplyDelete2. Awwww, god that sucks. I wish you were home...bright lights + headache = ugh. Besides that, I miss you and it'd be nice to have you here
