Farewell Classic Rookery...

Arbiter Fabulous walks into the wonderful home of Rookery, looks around and makes a post on the wall.

"This building will be demolished for not meeting the standards of the community. A new one will be supplied to you that meets our standards in about 72 hours. Go outside and get some sun...

-Arbiter Fabulous, Bowl and Doily Spiders.

((thought we could have a farewell threat to the old boards who have served us well for so many years, one last Classic Rookery before the new ones starts up! Only a few hours to do it in!))


COMING SOON: A new Epic that will change the way you see Arachnos...

*helps the house pack it's bags*

Now, are you sure you have everything? The jumbotron? All the chef bots? The door to the Faerie Realm? I think Pogo's shifting his lab through time and space to be at the new location, but you'd better check just to be sure. Oh! And make sure to pick up the basement, and be careful not to spill any of the healing hot tub water.

*sniffs and smiles proudly as the Rookery. moves to it's new home*

They grow up so fast...


SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.

*Walks in with a moving crew*

I'm going to use this period of renovation to give all the Chef Bots an overhaul and upgrade. Coming Soon: Chef Bot 2.0. Now with yummier Pamcakes!

/e bounces over to the wall and eyes the notice with a carefully cocked head.

Hrmmm?

/e tilts head on the other direction and continues reading?

Community standards? We have those? I never knew.


/e watches Equation's crews and Tech crews squabbling over who gets to throw the first sledgehammer blow.

Oh oh. Must be union workers. Maybe I ought to keep quiet about the self-packing feature this building has which was absolutely not stolen from Gallifreyan's.

>.>

/e puts a notice on the Amber button on the wall "Does not self-pack the building. Do not push."

/e noms a pamcake wihile setting a hot cuppa joe down for Heroid.

Hiya Heroid and Neko and Tech!

Equation, is this one of those Clean-Sweep type shows cause I'm keeping the faerie door! ;P I got unfinished business in that realm!

[[Why we getting new boards btw?]]

Good morning Fab, Heroid, Neko, Tech and Rooky

So, we're moving huh? Make sure everyone has their stuff. I know I'll make sure to have all the blue-skinned succubi. Anyone forgetting anything? Double check just to make sure.

And TP! Do not forget the TP.

/e watches at the building begins shuddering and then remembers to step outside.

/e then watches from outside as the structure seems to implode upon itself, clinking and crunching at times, whole sections seemingly disappearing while others jut out at odd angles for a moment before collapsing into place.

Ooh I hope Neko got out ok.

/e watches for a few minutes more as the entire building shrinsk itself down to the size of a birdcage and looks .... very much like a birdcage.

Shecky, you just made some union workers very very angry.

:P

/e puts on spectacles which slip down to almost falling off the beak.

Ahem.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Good morning. In less than an hour, we will be making the move to a new message board. And you will be launching the largest move in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the twenty-eighth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our fluffy freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from "the move". We are fighting for our right to post silliness. To exist. And should we win the day, the twenty-eighth of July will no longer be known as a Rookery. holiday, but as the day the CoH forums declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Moving Day!

PHEW!! The Attic Lab is SAFE!! It's in a temporal/dimensional holding pattern. I can pretty much do that for the entire building and surroundings if you want.But lemme know NOW it takes time to do this right!

But look, I can transport EVRYTHING over so it wont be bad at all. *nodnod*

Nice Emmi!

Hiya Pogo and if you figure out how to shrink yourself you can keep working.

Although I don't think embiggening technology is there just yet. :P

Hiya JJ!
