Oh god I remember that lol

I just read up on something called the Suicide Plant. Here's a quote from the Wiki.

The sting is potent enough to kill humans, dogs, and horses[6], and is infamously agonizing. Stories tell of horses jumping off cliffs after being stung, and supposedly one Australian officer shot himself to escape the pain of a sting.

One man who was slapped in the face and torso with the foliage said, "For two or three days the pain was almost unbearable; I couldn’t work or sleep, then it was pretty bad pain for another fortnight or so. The stinging persisted for two years and recurred every time I had a cold shower. ... There's nothing to rival it; it's ten times worse than anything else.


Yes, this plant is in Australia.

Christ, Australia is literally just the super-island of death

Damn Australia, you scary! How did the aborigines there last so long with half the land trying to kill you every day? Must've been A LOT of trial and error...

Maybe someday FA wont suck...but we've been saying that for years lol.

Maybe someday someone will wise up and create a competing site that finally takes FA down.

I feel like that's not going to happen. FA is just...too big.

It could, its just anything that's tried to out-do FA has just had it's own problems.

I'm just hoping that the next huge backdoor someone finds (because somebody's gonna look eventually) gets used to take the whole place out. I like my internet chaotic neutral.

Same. I'd love to have a fun place to go for once.
FA is just kind of wearing on everyone's nerves and they're basically one decent alternative away from losing their entire userbase.

I always hoped Id be wrong about my last post being the last one forvever here. Im glad i was wrong.

Yeah, we're remaining hopeful that maybe this place will pick back up over a long period of time.

Who knows lol

Fuck Photoshop. Holy dogshit.

Well, you know, it only took roughly 7 months since your previous post...but a few of us returned. So congratulations on being wrongity wrong WRONG, and welcome back!

I wish I knew jack shit about forum interfaces and had physical control over this site. If I did I could actually rework the site a bit, maybe make it more appealing to return to.

But alas, I am forum-stupid and I dont own the site.

Wow

What is this place

I'd like to revive this place but I don't think it's even possible without Riv.

Hey guys. I was always bummed this place fell apart. I might try to post a bit or I might never come back after this post. It might be too much for me. I'm still taking Milo's death pretty hard. At the very least it's nice to see you guys again.

Yeah I don't think so. He still owns the site, and I don't have the technical know-how (nor do I think I have the administrative abilities) to do anything with this place. And I know he's not coming back anytime soon, I don't think he even remembers where this place is.

Yeah, we understand. That's one reason I had wanted to make a new place.
Too many memories here, good and bad.

I'd honestly give Riv a second chance if he came back and tried to make amends. I don't even remember what he did exactly, but I remember it was extra and even I took issue with it. But he might have changed. We'll never know, I guess.

Also, Mentova and Taralack quit FAF.
