I don’t think I realized or at least admitted to myself how much I depend on this place. I know I’m warm and thankful, but what most people don’t know is that’s my default reaction to anything that lasts
but I had a nightmare last night, and it started with me loading the main page here. The site was overrun by spam and junk content. No thoughtful posts, no screaming into the void, no musings on the nature of existence. And it seemed so real, because it happened once, I don’t know if anyone is still around that remembers it. Some particularly awful trolls managed to derail the whole front page, it was full of content that isn’t allowed on the site, and it was clearly malicious. The one bright spot in that memory for me is that every few hours a regular would post something more normal for the site, we endured that trial together.
It didn’t get to that point in the dream. I woke up, and had to convince myself it was a dream. This is also after I was attempting to vision quest/dream, so it seems likely to me that this dream means more than just my fear of losing this resource. My guide might have been trying to say something, so if anyone else has input in that let me know.

I’ve been here a while (April 2016), but I don’t remember us getting hit with a spam bomb like that. Must have been dueing one of those periods where I wasn’t using it.
But I have been around for a while. As much as I like talking to the people here now, I miss some of the old guys. Rocketman, rivets, shattered iris, atintofgreen. The thing about this place is you never know if they managed to get out safe or get out the other way. I also remember cordless. When I first joined she was something like a celebrity here, as bizarre as that sounds. Everyone wanted to talk to her.
Let’s hope a spam bomb like that doesn’t happen again.
