There was such a place. It was called VN. It got nuked to hell. What few people survives to this day still tell fireside tales of the horrors of it's purging.
The lesson learned: this is not an image board. Use your words.
Okay, I will not do it.
Can you tell me more about this place called "VN"? You can send me PM if you want to keep it private.
*cough*
It was the
Various
Nonsense board--I was too young to see it in its prime, and only remember the tales as told by those older than me here. It was a place filled with quite the thing that makes up tall tales and random whimsical thoughts.
And pictures. Threads with nothing but pictures. It didn't help the forum (or the load of it) to have nothing but pictures, so that kind of thread is frowned upon here, if in the least due to the lack of content in it despite the visuals. So horror story short, we don't do picture threads because it wasn't a place for thoughts. It was static, cold, and colorful.
My dad has an awesome garden and ever since his retirement, makes his daily effort to do things and find things to do; ever since, he's been buying pots and soil and seeds and cultivating his own seedlings (had a past as a farmer but I forget those details--all I remember is his humor and his awesomeness in hardworking spirit). Now while I like the common household 'pests' like snails and caterpillars, those don't bode well for our plants :I
With a forest in the backyard, that somehow...also means leeches. I live in the mountains, in a mountain city. I did not expect to have leeches in such places: in the backyard-forest or otherwise (like in buckets that somehow got onto my dad and only until he noticed itchiness was when we concluded leeches). But it's nice to see all these bugs everywhere.
I just wish we had more fireflies. All this storytelling themes had me remembering when back a few decades ago, my dad would tell me of stories (which my bad joke-radar would miss, I understood perfectly seriously) that were of bushes filled with fireflies and the night at times being filled with these lightbugs. Now I'm lucky to see them rarely one by one in various places.
