Well I must admit I feared the worst when I read this. I didn't at first like the idea of using the allusion for something so pointless and yet not actually doing a PSW, it's like poking at a corpse and is totally uncessary.
However, it wasn't terrible. It obviously isn't lol-funny, but it was ok. Nothing to say about it really I guess, except everything I have so far.

Hey everyone,

Please bear with us. We are very over-extended, but we promise that you will enjoy where the story direction is headed. We are working on making the Hymn of One puzzle stuff better, the plot is ramping up (stay tuned) and we are working more and more character interactivity into the show on a weekly basis. Finally, we are tweaking our “format” to make the individual videos more enjoyable and still drive the narrative forward (much harder than it sounds). Also, with the addition of KateModern you will see a substantial increase in the breadth and depth of the LG15 universe. FINALLY… web design is progressing. In the meantime, enjoy the shiny new “previous, next” buttons below the video. Thanks!!!!

Miles

promises, promises


Lurker and Longlostposter, their two most loyal fans, are so pissed off they are swearing they are gone for good.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off so negative there (lol, ok, maybe I did, sorry about that though). It's just that I was playing the video in the background as I started the thread, and then it just ended, seemingly out of nowhere. Then I was like 0:49s, wtf? Just to summarize what was obvious from that last episode.
Hehe, maybe I successfully lowered your expectations enough that you were able to enjoy the video. Jonas and Daniel were funny together, even if this video was even more pointless than usual.

Hehe, we've all gotten so used to Miles's Pollyanna-esque optimism that I think I blocked it out. However, I don't believe for a second that Lurker or LLP would leave; they're like ever present in the forum. What would they do with all that newfound free time? I'd miss Lurker though, he's often the voice of reason in the midst of the latent forum stupidity (even despite his ardent hatred of Bree). Where was that thread? Was it the video thread? Concerns and Complaints?

ETA: Nevermind, I found it. Interestingly, the c's didn't post it in the forum at all, just the comment boards. You can find it copied over on the video thread, or in a Concerns and Complaints thread titled "Creators" (by LLP).
I'm tempted to say they purposefully didn't post in the forum because they knew people would be very irked. However, I suppose it's possible that Miles was tired and called it a night forgetting to post in the forum. *shrug*
The shiny new buttons are all right, but kinda clunky looking. I wish they'd spent their efforts elsewhere, since I can just click on the next video using the sidebar.

They are just taunting us with that title. Grrrr! Idiots.

Even a filler episode needs to have more... filling. True, it wasn't the worst episode ever, but I expected more. Note: Why would they still need to do the cut-away edits every two seconds? It wasn't like it was going 'over-time'. The creators need to invest more time in their viewers and fans because we certainly have invested our time in this series!

Okay, angry rant over...... or is it?... *muahahahaha*

I wasn't referring to you here- I meant the poking at a corpse was the use of the PSW reference which you also were against. If they aren't going to use it properly, I also agree don't use it at all! That was the corpse poking I was referring to, not your criticisms.

oh whups. I thought you meant me since you quoted then said "when I read this". Yeah it makes more sense the way you're putting it. Referencing the old days isn't going to bring them back, creators! You sent Bree and Daniel on the run, you sent the Order after them, you tried incorporating puzzles and stupid crap--all at the expense of a perfectly entertaining girl worrying about boy problems and making musical montages with Owen and Co. Bah, like that hasn't been said a million times!

Anyway, I checked to see if Lurker and LLP are still gone... looks like they are for now. One of Lurker's lasts posts was to this rofl-titled thread (by Balmung). lol!

[spaciegirl]

I'm seriously confused. Am I alone? It took this long for there to be an obvious shift at the forum?!?! And why isn't there someone to jump all over Lurker's ass for suddenly becoming lucid? I can't even explain how much shit I've taken for "doubting", "criticising", "bitching", "picking"....etc. So very annoying this is to me..so very annoying.

I don't really need more stuff that makes me question my sanity.

[oweniscool]

Well, LLP is already back.
She writes:

OK, I've come back.
I want to make it clear I wasn't trying to be a drama queen; I had every intention of staying away. However, some very good friends have messaged me and asked that I hold on a while longer. I love these friends, and so I will give it a little more time.

Mind you, people. The walkout was late last night. "I've come back"? You never left, dearie! I understand why she's p*ssed though. She says she feels cheated because she donated money to a series that still sucks (ok, so I paraphrased). Her original post is in the thread I linked to.
Still waiting to see how long Lurker holds out. Anyone want to start a pool?

No, you are no not alone my acerbic-tongued companion. What is so silly is that it has taken someone like Lurker, who appears to be an intelligent man, this LONG to figure out this epiphany of his. I believe he is an undergrad in media studies, he should know better...

As to why we stay interested in this thing: The beer is plentiful here and (as Van Morrison said) the Craic is good.

[spaciegirl]

You are pretty dead on with that last part. As far as Lurker and his little friend...well..nothing nice..so..nothing.

I hate the drama that ensues when someone on the forum decides to make a dramatic 'au revoir' post. It's even more irritating when they return, as I imagine the "okay guys, so I'm back!!" in this sing-songy, placating tone...

gah, I know! Especially the all-too-often used "oh since so many people asked me to stay", or even worse, "I'm just hanging on for the community". Like the community's going to fall apart when they leave.
LLP even posted on Daniel and Bree's in-character chats. Now it's "oh I'm so special sooo many of my beloved friends asked me to stay". I say, if you loved them that much you could stay in touch without making 30 posts a day about why Daniel is better than Jonas.
So... yeah. That pretty much goes for everyone that's staged a walkout and come back within like 24 hrs.

[hookedonmonics]

That's it. I'm leaving. I'm not putting up with this crap anymore. goodbye, all. it's been real.

(runs off to scarf some pizza before returning later tonight)

[spaciegirl]

I'll be under a rock somewhere until we're done talking about dramatic exits....oh geez.
