Well we'll just chalk this week down as a bit of a mid-summer bummer and move on. Hopefully next week the Watch will be absolutely radioactive with activity.

I decided to reiterate Av's above post in Yodaspeak (from the Gollumspeak I assumed it was in) and went to a handy Yodaspeak translating site to save having to perform this onerous and intellectually demanding task myself. It turns out the Yodaspeak translation of 'It burns us it does' is ............(drum roll) ............ 'It burns us it does', evidence I believe of a previously undiscovered propensity of the Master of the Force to spread his seed far and wide in the course of his intergalactic peripatetics. A case of 'A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...........!' ;)

You know the pin drops thing isn't supposed to be a proud achievement. I could hear a feather drop today.

Just saying.

This is what happens when Avatar has a holiday.

Okay, yes, I am jealous.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Yeah, you are right.

Truth is if I were running around Disney World right now I wouldn't be doing a lot of posting. :biggrin:

It's not quiet.

We had 34 members log in in the past 24 hours. That's more than the usual which is in the mid 20s.

I like it.

The best part is that, for a change, the moderators were outnumbered by the rank and file members 23 to 10 with Av being the only Admin.

I double like it. :biggrin:

I'm usually the only admin. :D Jay is too busy ruining his child's life, Danlo is off saving the world, (or NM anyway) and nobody knows what the hell Vain does all day. Stands and stares at the wall probably. ;)

Well, its just cool to see the up tick in activity. We're on pace to have the best post count for an August in years.

We can thank the return of a number of our long lost friends for the bump.

Very cool.
