Back in the day before good times died

There was Young Hippies and my personal forum which was rubbish, today its still rubbish and Young Hippies is dead and I never got to say goodbye to it I member being up late late or on very early to work in with the timezone I member when George, Katie, Nathan ummm a few others ruled it {laughs}. I member when there was a king and queen and those trying to bring it down, th marriages and th divorces then it seemd to get a more serious tinge to it and now its gone, what happened, why did it die it was soooo sooooooo soo young

 

I remember those days.

I miss Katie and Nathan and Marisa so.

and BECKY.

 

Yeah thats what all the names were and you're still here yay!! hee hee, I miss everyone though it all just worked you can't just take that and recreate it I know I tried to make my personal forum a young hippies forum close the old thread new sticky reannounce and nothing haha I just not the person to do it {laughs}. What have you been up to Meg?

 

The old days were fun , but I'm not really depressed about the whole closing/moving thing. It sucks that some people aren't around anymore, but cool people keep showing up, and more will continue to, I'm sure. So keep your chin up, buddy.

Oh yeah? Well I still chat it up with Marisa, and I used to viciously hit the town with Becky. :H So, uh... yeah, I miss 'em, too. ()

You sound like Bill Cosby Hip Hopin...



Now its back to the desert for me :H

 

Please.... do not consume the san pedro in my presence, for I am a lady!

 

"Back in the day before the good times died"

You sound like the Old Hippies.

*sniffs* They grow up so fast.

 

It sounds whiny, so it perfectly fits here. Good times died, come on, only if you let 'em.

 

Forget the past, enjoy the present, and dream of the future.

 

Well, don't forget everything of the past. :tongue:

 

On a worldly scale, one similarity is that it takes about 50 years for mankind to figure out what to do with the new, perhaps same goes for our forum, but whatever. I'm just... basking in the goodness of history and considering options, right now, so with the printing press, the first 50 years were spent putting into print the same texts that the monks had been copying by hand for ages. It was only after some 60 years that Martin Luther published the German Bible, and it wasn’t until the dawn of the modern ages, 1513, that Machiavelli published The Prince... the first Western book in 1,000 years that contained not one Biblical quotation and no reference to the writers of antiquity....

Luther’s Bible ushered in progressive protestant movements, which within less than twenty years, conquered at least half of Europe and forced the most dominant institution of its time, the Catholic Church, to fall to its knees, realize their cause and effect, and reform itself to hold on to the other half.. We know, the prince was just the beginning of a wealth of purely secular books on science and the humanities. It was truly the printing press that pulled mankind out of the dark ages and provided the sustenance for the blossoming of the Renaissance...

The 1776 invention date for the steam engine caused me to do a double take. The date I remember having had drummed into my head from, god forbid anyone else be a victim, public school; was around 1830. As it turns out, the difference is the fiftyh year period that it took someone to come up with the killer application for the steam engine-- the steam locomotive and the railroad...

Up until 1829, the steam engine was just being applied to mechanize existing production processes. But the greatest impact was brought about by the invention of the steam locomotive. The railroads created a new economic dimension and changed our mental geography, stabilizing and undermining. For the first time humans had true mobility and the horizons of even ordinary people were expanded dramatically. Within five years, the Western world was engulfed in the biggest "boom" in history...

Like the two preceding technology-based revolutions, invention of the computer was to make existing processes, such as record keeping and accounting, routine work. The processes were not changed, but they were accomplished with a tremendous savings in time and cost.. However, the truly revolutionary impact of the info revolution is being driven by something no one ever saw, something pretty much meaningless until the beginning to of our generation. Obviously, mainstream public access to the Internet. This phenomenon is creating a new and distinct boom, which is rapidly changing our economy, our society and our politics... blogs, what have you.

As with the preceding revolutions, new institutions will arise that are unforeseen. New channels for distribution and harmonic progression, such as the internet, change who the customers are... as well as what they buy, and what they stop buying. In the new mental geography of the Internet, distance has been eliminated, control is in the hands of the user. As a consequence, every business must become globally competitive, even if it manufactures or sells only within a local or regional market...

Now I’m not trying to tell you that the financial markets and the economy are not ugly today, nor am I or ever will be an economist. They are ugly, they've been ugly, not the economists, but the economy itself-- though it's your every day same old... but I do suggest that, based upon historical precedent, we are in the early stages of an economic boom that will overshadow anything we have seen in the past, unless the world becomes victim to the booms of society-- which is enough reason, to me, that you should never forget the past, live in real time, and dwell in the future... Speak softly and carry a big stick, as there's always the dark side. It will spread quicker than Snoop Dogg or You Tube or Wiki... or Ipod.

We don't know what dawn is, as a whole. If you don't make it what you are, someone is bound to get bitten on the ass sooner or later.



But really, who cares...

Jeez, I need a boat... or at least a boat drink, you know.

 

oh george i love you

"king in the castle, king in the castle"
all eras come to an end, such is life
do not fear death, for death is the begining of a new
the young hippies forum might have met it's end, but the whiners forum is in it's prime
simple thing is if you don't like the way things are, change em.
nothing can remain the same forever, so you can either focus on the negative and how it has changed or you can "get over it", move on and make things the way you want to...this can be said for anything in life..not just a forum on the internet...

 

Yes we should all move on and be happy. But the Name "Whiners" will remind us that in the future there will always be shitty times.. lol

 

Yeah yeah yeah...

Don't worry, be happy... smoke ganja, eat the moon!

 

A bunch of whining and drama went away. Oh no, the tragedy.

Enjoy what you have now.

 

I don't suppose human nature will adapt that quickly to that degree...

And it is just human.

 

i think its better now. i miss alot of people, but what we have now is still great. take it for what its worth, or find somewhere better to hang out

 

Yeah, pretty much.

It shouldn't be any more difficult than that, you know?
