The Hiatus Address
Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 12:06 pm
One score and nine months ago, Josh brought forth on this internet a new forum, conceived for Limit Theory, and dedicated to the community and the game that it seeks to play.
Now we are engaged in a great wait, testing whether that forum, or any forum so conceived, can long endure without its leader and creator. We are met on a great subforum of that forum. We have come to dedicate a topic of this subforum to the founder and creator of the forum that we meet at today. It is considered by some, who are bitter and resentful, not fitting and proper that we might do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this forum. Josh, who struggled to bring his dream to life, has already consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we type here, but it can never forget what Josh has done here. It is for us the actively posting, rather, to be actively dedicated to the unfinished work which Josh, who was here, so nobly advanced in his cause. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from this honored dev we will take increased devotion to our cause - that we here highly resolve that this dev shall not have coded in vain - that this forum, under Josh, shall have a new birth of posting - and that this forum of Limit Theory, by Josh, for the Community, shall not perish from the World Wide Web.
Keep posting, guys! Don't let this forum only exist on paper! I am watching it begin to die! don't let it! Do it for the overlord, , do it for Josh, do it for the Community, but the bottom line is to be creative and create numerous interesting threads to revive this forum. And anyone who doubts that Josh is still working on Limit Theory, go here. I'm putting it everywhere that I can (within reason) so that people who don't know yet won't despair.
