|
|
In twenty years from now will the Corporal's daughter be posting on this board? Will their one day be a poster named The Son of Beckerson? Little Lemon? Wombatti? My Pa Anda? KimcheePrincess? Rapier II?
How much longer can this board last? Will some other technology replace this forum? Will this somehow become unnecessary?
I'm guessing that the board will still exist in some form for at least thirty years. Teachers will still need the resource, and people will still want to rant and rave.
I can't predict how it will end. Any ideas? |

Well, when the South finally gets nuked by the North, I don't imagine there will be much need for the Korean Job Discussion Forum. |

Depends on if any of the mods ever decide to use bats in a vicious attack against a poster who refuses to leave the board after being told it's last call, err...post, prompting a total boycott and subsequent death of the board by enraged members. |

Well, things are heating up now. It won't be long. The end is near. Flee Korea and Dave's while you still have a chance. |

My theory is that in 20 years time maybe the internet will be obsolete and we will see each other through psychodelic virtual glasses. Just a theory. just think back to 1983 and the computers then. Boy have we come a long way. |

Your question is relevant, but not as relevant as why I'm not on your list of classic posters. Bow down and be humble, YOU HAVE BEEN JUDGED! |

Delusions of grandeur are often signs of SHORT comings in other areas of one's life. Feelings of inaDequacy and InseCurity are masKed by statements of superiority. |

Hmm, I thought about your name but passed it over..I think Corporal's Kiwiwee is about as good as it gets, but would add "_Kiwi_wee_" |

Or if Dave puts a great big banner reading: "Off-limits to Foreigners" |

Perhaps this is humour and I just don't get it. You certainly don't get mine. I'm wondering how many other posters believed that kiwiboy was deeply hurt on an emotional level because not included on Hardy's list? I've been round for a while, and have a style, most posters understand. Yes I AM god, and if you don't get what I mean by that you can't be in my gang cause you're not smart enough. SO THERE, na na na na na na na |

You don't see the humor? Maybe you need to read it again. It'll jump out at ya.  |

Nope. The market won't last that long. Chinese will probably be the new lanuague to learn by then anyway  |

When Koreans get their act together, and a daily dose of Dave's to release our collective han, isn't needed. |
