JackTheFearest Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 HOUSTON, TEXAS – June 14, 2003. A shocking discovery came to the Monkey Island Community of the LFNetwork last week. This discovery, stunning many members, and causing a old lady to have a heart attack, was, of course, that all the LFNetwork sites pertaining, mainly, to Monkey Island were down and out. The server was apparently hacked into by a large, cigar smoking, moustache grooming Brazilian cocaine smuggler. He was not looking to destroy the server, but to merely find himself a nice place to take a lovely Brazilian siesta for all his lovely belongings. As one witness put it, “I’m not entirely sure what happened…they were all there the night before, the next morning when I woke up…they…they were gone.” When asked how much he could remember, all the witness could say was, “Not that much. It just all happened so quickly.” And quickly is just the right word to describe this catastrophe. When the fixer upper guy at the server collocation faculties went into fixer up everything, he did it all wrong, and within forty minutes, the Brazilian snorter was back in. With this, the server was shut down again. Most of the sites are now finding themselves new homes, new families, sufficient food, and batteries for their laptop computers, for if these sites are not back up, there is already enough evidence, that the victims (the fans) of these sites shall quickly pounce upon the leaders of the web world. Out of the many favorite websites, SCUMMBar is one to close it’s doors forever. People around the world at this very moment are mourning this loss. The SCUMMBar’s legacy began far back in the reaches of 1996, a time when the internet was nothing more than something that rich people had. Something that the teeming masses were never able to have, for their houses were too small to fit in a gigantic computer into the living room, to take up one full wall. One mourner of the SCUMMBar gently told the reporter the following story: “Last week, before this all came about, I was already planning to have a whole Monkey Island fan site themed party at my house with a couple of friends. Unfortunately, due to the reason none of us ever leave our homes, the party was canceled…as was our lives when the bad news came about. Monkey Island is the only thing, which he strives on. With no MI we are lost. BRING BACK THE SITES…BRING BACK THE BRAIN PULSING IMAGES ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN.” Unfortunately, the interview with the latter was cut short, but the result of this horror is evident. People are at home with nothing to sustain them, other than the one-in-a-while Star Wars marathons. But these marathons only come but once a year. And they only last for 7 hours. We must help these people. We must bring back MI. Without it, as one fanatic so poetically described it, we are lost.

Joshi Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Okay, so are you somehow under the impression that we don't already know this? http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=101459 and as for TSB http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=101804 These forums are linked directly to Mojo and The Scumm Bar, so if something happens to either of them or most other mi sites, this community is the first to know.
