We had a good run. [LULZ JK]

Ok funny story, really, I'm at kind of a loss for words...
A while ago Damo kind of moved on, doing the whole marriage/family/career thing, his last kick at the can was the turnkey, self-running LS 2.0 redesign.
Then he split it up with meepninja and me, ninja got to keep the bot and IRC, I got to keep Linkswarm.
I just don't have the heart for this anymore, and in order to keep this place from falling to suck, I'm putting a timer on it.
Linkswarm.com has 90 days.
90 Days for you to say goodbye to fellow LS meepgots
90 Days for you to copy your stuff outa here
90 Days for you to remember this place here, in this thread, which will be the memorial placeholder for linkswarm.com
NIGHTY NIGHT SWEET PRINCEmeepGOTS

Car accident outside of Sacramento, on his way home from work. I think it was a big truck rollover.

As long as people are answering questions, who dropped my secret satan gift off on my front porch last year? Was kinda creepy and cool at the same time. Seems like Sunny knew what was up.

The other swarmer that lives this far south. It was suprising to open the front door and find a present waiting. Was cool of Ghost to set it up, I still mess with those bucky meep all the time and still can't make any of the shapes they show on thinkgeek.

Someone very close to your heart is also now employed by an unnamed federal law enforcement agency.

Meesa not Ghostie. I always feel bad for not meeting up with him at the Madison Capital Square... although I think if I wore a Linkswarm shirt, he would ID me at a local bar.
Honestly, Wotak, I'm not Ghostie and I have no reason to lie since we are all naked and exposed to each other.
Top Swarmers I would have liked to meet:
1. Beachgoat - just seems like a nice person.
2. Vas - just wanted to meet the person who had the meep to create this site.
3. Wotak - Seems like a good person, although we disagreed on an awful lot of meep.
4. Nocal - Guy could spin some lines
5. Ghostie - We both live in a small city. He seemed like a decent chap.

Been getting a lot of pms like this:
"LORDKAHUNA, I don't know you as well as some, and I have never been part of the "eleet " so to speak. But I would wonder if you wouldn't rather just hand this over, that way you can ride off into the sunset and we can keep this place that was a big part of my life the last 5 years.
I have the cash I think to run this, and some ideas to gain revenue in a manner that wouldn't be too disruptive, I could pay you in installments on that, and the swarm can live on. "
I'm not totally against this, but this place can keep it's content, you would just have to change the name for obvious reasons.

I'd be much more open to a group ownership thing, not giving this to any one meep.

Also..
"you would just have to change the name for obvious reasons."
I am pretty ignorant. Is this Legal/Liability? Money Transition? Inability to Corporate and Continue to Profit?
Lots of folks sold off their "start-ups" and made millions. Do you guys really want to look back at 30 years ago and say, "meep, We invented LinkSwarm, and now somebody is using the idea to make billions!". From MegaRad to StinkWarm, this was the one out of all the ones a decade ago that grabbed me as REAL. The fish crawling onto land. The first monkey to hit the rocks together. Never mind that a Paris Hilton porn made you famous.
Don't give up the reputation, the legend, the NAME. Let it be repaired.
You could make millions in residuals while people you loathe do your bidding. Minions, just like in your dreams.
Just my Opinion. If not for the rest of us, for the meeping money.

I say let the swarm die in peace. Vas and Kahuna didn't bow out while this place was on top but there's still a shred of dignity left.

I recommend meep mouth gizz pics with a few horse meeping/blowing mpegs that would replace random pages. People will learn to stop clicking on LS links.

"I hear you goat, but the contract I have with my partners says I cannot compete using LS."
That is a sane and valid reason.
Next option...
"So I guess you are all saying that you do not want to run this as a group under a new name?"
...and why not?
