Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

It never lost more people than it gained

Departures stayed below arrivals every month. What fell away was new arrivals: 8 joined in the first month, 6 in the last.

The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

CoolCricket224If we have leg braces, why do we die from falling into the void
VegetableOther758I guess bones just work like that?
VegetableOther758ignore my question, and that wasn’t actually part of script
CoolCricket224We can fall from the highest of heights and live, but we can't handle falling in the void?
CoolCricket224Makes no damn sense
VegetableOther758“I shouldn’t spoil this but… remember how I’m going to live forever but you’re going to be dead in 16 years”?
VegetableOther758Well, I’ve been working on a present for you.
VegetableOther758well, more of a medical procedure
VegetableOther758well, technically, it’s more of a. Experiment. You know how excruciating it is when someone removed all of your bone marrow? Well, what if after I did that I put something back IN that added 4 years to your life?
Weird_Egg_1186it's hard to overstate my satisfaction
