And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Q3: I'm kind of glad I wasn't on last night at all, because I have absolutely no recollection of this at all. Was this in the chat, or some thread I'm not remembering? Which pweb incarnation?

Q4: OSC made the inaugural post, as I recall. It was damn long, too.

Nomi, Fred, Ed: You've officially crossed the finish line, so if you so choose, you may skip the next two questions and wait for the bonus. You may also feel free to continue.

I don't feel like searching and since I already finished the boardgame, I'm going to make an educated guess:

Jan, welcome to the other side (it's like the Dark Side, only less awesome); you may answer the last question tomorrow but you do not need the points. Bonus question is still recommended, however.

Isn't Steve the only one (except Jan) with kids? I sure hope so, since that's my guess.

Steve is the only one I know of who has kids (except Jan, but i'm pretty sure I would have remembered if Jan put up a pic like that, it's awesome.)

So i'm guessing Steve.

Isn't Ami still a mod? She's got at least a couple kids too. That's actually the other one I considered, other than Steve.

Woo Hoo!

I will likely answer tomorrow anyway, but for the bonus, here's my answer:
***Warning: Mushy***
I love pweb because I love having friends scattered all over the map - friends that I have known longer then the majority of my meatspace friends. I love that I can take you guys with me whereever I go, and especially next year when I'm struggling with loneliness in a brand new place, you all will be there.

Ali, wave hello and goodbye to the final task; you only have the bonus left to do, if you so wish.





Bonito, Catherine, I sent PMs but I'm not sure you sign in often; may I get email addresses? I hunted down everyone else's, I think.

I really want to say Orange, so i'm going to : P

Also, for the bonus point:

The thing I love most about pweb is probably the connections. I mean, I've met some of my favorite people in the world just because of this site that I stumbled across while I was bored. It's not just my connections too, I love to see that other people have met (and even got married!)
