Why are all these old threads being bumped, the ones from 5+ years ago? It's making it very hard to browse these forums... Is it for attention or to inflate post count? *side note; I can't wait for this thread to be bumped, 7 years from now...
MTO is alive. And it is unlike any other forum. People here have tolerance you will not find anywhere else. Breaking the rules of other forums is the unwritten rule here. And people enjoy it. Off topics, silly jokes, meaningless posts and threads, everything is a spring of joy, for all evergreen teenagers who come here to discuss their toys. What you'll find in other forums and rarely or almost never here is bad intentions, bullying, trolling, hate posts, racism, bragging (well, unless it's just for fun this one), exclusion and, for me at least, boredom. MTO is not rule driven, it is soul driven. MTO is not object centered, it is person centered. MTO is not about tools of steel, it is about hearts of gold. MTO is not about a specific hobby sector, it is universal, eternal, global and immortal. MTO threads are immortal. MTO posters are immortal, even the ones who died and the ones who will die in the process, we all, we'll be here alive in resurrected threads. MTO is like no other forum of the known cyberuniverse. Here chaos is order of a second order. We joke seriously. We inhibit our inhibitions. We play. We laugh. We love. We live. You are in MTO? Forget your complexes, your super ego, your thanatos, your reality principle, your adult self, slave of anxiety, depression, loneliness. You are in The Playground. You are in psychotherapy. You are what you didn't dare to dream. Forget the outer Cosmos and do what you have to do. You are in MTO? Be MTO!
Very well worded KK.
Best. Post. Ever.Thanks for those amazing words- I am personally very glad that this place has worked out as well as it has. There have been times where I was pulling my hair out, wondering why I ever got into this mess, or why I keep going every day. I know this place is great, but to hear others thinking of it as highly as I do really means a lot to me.Def

Well done.I have to admit, at first all the necro-threads were annoying me. I would not realize they were from the stone-age and would think we were getting new software or the Skeletool was about to be released to the public but once I figured it out, I was fine Now I mostly just enjoy looking at them. It definitely clutters up the subforums a bit, you just gotta look at the start date
