Ralph has died

Ralph Hayes Junior, the creator of the NPC comic, around which this forum was built... died yesterday. It came as a shock to all of us. In an ever increasingly hostilely Liberal atmosphere descending down and around anyone who dare disagree or show independent thought... he was a voice that delibera...

For the Record, and for the last time.

I’m gonna start this monster with a little stroll down memory lane. I’m a sucker for nostalgia and, in going back, I couldn’t help but reminisce about all the people I used to know, both here and elsewhere. I feel a bit like... there was an old episode of an old cartoon called “Bump in the Night”, w...

Re: who'se still here?

5 years later and this place is STILL here collecting dust?

At this point I feel like I'm only here because it means nobody can see me.

Re: who'se still here?

Yuuuup, still works, it's a testament to just how bored I am coming here, it's also a testament that, when looking for the forum, of all the forums from "I" through "P" my last post was THE most recent post.

Kinda telling of what's become of the place.

Ralph moved, IIRC, seven years ago and this place is STILL up?!

who'se still here?

just wanted to make a quick post to let the people who occasionally come back here for almost no reason whatsoever (like me :oops: ) give a little "hello" to the (scanty) world that for so long (I have no real idea exactly how long it was so just go with it) was where Ralph held his comics and comic...

It appears, from a post on the other board, that Mr. Hayes has moved his comics and generated new boards. That has rendered this discussion moot why then do you continue to attack him then if the discussion is so moot? I personally find your continual attacks on him (as well as your poorly hidden i...

Noted, and quoted. Mr. Hayes' comics are heavily polarized both religiously and politcally, and because of that, this board is populated by readers who are also highly polarized. The moderates, if there ever were any, have left, leaving only the sycophants or those with enough reserve obstinacy to ...

having a human representative is not an end all solution and I never intened it to be such, but rather a catalyst to further progress. open trade cannot begin with people who are afraid of us or are planning on stabbing us in the back when we aren't looking. using a human representative at first all...

isolation and lack of contact helps spawn and breed paranoia and misperceptions. having a human within the mistwall will allow our own people relatively safe exposure to allow them to sate their own fears and false suspicions. how are we supposed to gain the trust of people if we steal their lands? ...

I love the 'audience commentary' on this one. one SW quote and one comeback punchline right after.

and now the heroes get to see just what they did.

no actually, I'm not talking about just trading with beedy eyed sticky fingered hooligans froum outside as our secret trading partners. I'm talking about finding one or two young outcasts and housing and raising them here, away from the other humans outside. they grow up trusting us and learning our...

no, taking from the humans by expanding the mistwall they would notice, and giving them something in return just to sate our own conscious would not only make it easier to fuel their reactions financially but would also do nothing to sate their reactions, since they don't know it was us. if ignoranc...

it occurred to me that durring the recent questor's departure a detatchment from the artifactor's guild was sent to Freeman Downs in record time. although I am led to believe that such a contraption is light and not likely to be capable of carrying any large implements, such a swift device may find ...

as ususal Ralph shows that he is several, several steps ahead of us. though it's probably pretty easy to do that when he already knows where he wants the story to go anyway.
