Calling the alt.gothic diaspora.

[reddragdiva]

Convergence 13 appears to have been taken over by a herpes virus with a penis, in black. Not as bad as Cliff Low with C7, but anyway. So Mr C13 applies his efforts to engineering a gothapalooza for C14, falls flat on his face and whines like a little bitch. And holy gosh, half the alt.gothic diaspora is showing up back there!

I just thought you'd like to know. The initial thread was long enough to break Google Groups. Check your ISP doesn't still have an NNTP feed. And pop in and say hi. Anyone with alt.gothic as an LJ interest qualifies.

(a.c.g is tumbleweeds, but Sandro still posts movie reviews.)

The "whines" link doesn't work - permalinking in Google Groups is possible but not always easy.

Aaah... just like the old days :)

Nah, that's still a wee little thread, and nowhere close to breaking Google. There's one thread over in rec.arts.sf.written that's over 11000 posts.

I forget exactly what it was that I warned everybody against back in the day on alt.gothic, but I'm sure that it was something like this.

Anyway, I'm going to take this oppertunity to say a big "I Told You So" to everyone who didn't read my posts back then and say, "Jack is wise and thoughtful, and we should listen to everything he says, as if it were a pronouncement from On High, because otherwise, in five years, we will have whiny little bitches on alt.gothic."

(Or maybe it's been six or seven years. Time flies and all that.)

Did you really need that much more emo angst? :)

I especially like the part where the person from the other committee that got disqualified says that they understand and support the decision.

(Sigh. Why did I read that whole thing? I'm not even a goth.)

I wonder how I fell out of the C*b*l. I didn't even get a voting invitation this year!
