Taylor Hicks fans wank again.
So, remember this entry? I had just forgotten about it myself -- but it rises from the ashes like some drunk-dancing, gray-haired phoenix!

Taylor Made Soul (TMS) is closed. Adora the webmaster says:

"We are certainly not as active as we once were, many people have lost interest or moved on to other things and those who are still enthusiastic fans are in limbo, waiting for things that Taylor has planned for them in the future. As myself and many staff members are also drained and ready to move onto other things, it seems that now, when things are slow and it will cause as little disruption as possible is the best time to go."

Makes sense, right? Surely everything is on the up and up with this, and therefore no cause for drama, right?

Right.

A blog crops up called True Feelings On The Closing of TMS. Accusations fly about various things, such as...

Mods posting as Taylor Hicks!

Mods being JELLIS HATERZ!

PM screenshots!

And, of course, mods being blamed for TMS Moles, which brings us back to our former wank. The Circle of Wank, guys. It moves us all.

Old mods (who were banned by Adora for whatever reason) pop up to defend themselves, here, here and here. There are more from them in the comments.

Oh, and F_W is mentioned.

I don't understand what's going on anymore, so let's play Kick A Former Mod instead. (Thanks to this post. I guess.)

ETA: And, randomly, pictures of the mods have been posted.

Okay, I'm a stranger in these woods but in my naive way I would have thought it was better to say you were closing the comm and thank people for their interest rather than just pulling the plug and not letting people know why; we all move on and interests change.

Except, perhaps, for some of the people doing all the name-calling, most of whom sound about six years old - and that's no compliment to the average six-year-old.

Anyway I've never heard of any of these people and don't much care about them; I just happened to be awake early and in need of entertainment. The only conclusion I can come to is that I'm damned grateful I've never met any of them IRL.

Next?

None of the links on the first wank work anymore now that TMS is closed. :(

I know. :( And I didn't think of screencapping the first wank before everything went down. Maybe the webmaster will show up and provide some screencaps for us? Heh.

The Circle of Wank! I learned the lyrics to that on LJ yesterday:


The path redundant
It's the pile of dead horses
It's the wheel of bullshit
It's the leap of lame
It's the band of suck
Till we find our place
On the path redundant
In the circle, the circle of wank.

Wait. Is he a singer or a religious cult leader?

Further proof that I am sadly out of touch.

I had to Google who the hell Taylor Hicks was.

Re: the ETA—

Wow. That's just so very classy. Those women aren't even unattractive (hell, most of 'em look better than Hicks himself). But I guess I shouldn't expect class from a side that has "tard" in its URL (and isn't related to music... or mustard).

Can't the still-enthusiastic fans start their own board and take on the work of running it? Or did I just answer my own question?

(Disclaimer: I did not follow any of the links. But I should think that if they can figure out creating a blog to complain, they should be able to figure out setting up their own board to have fun.)

I haven't visited any of the links and I don't intend to. This is the same ridiculous, childish behavior I've dealt with for years now and though it's abundant in the funny, it does get old pretty quick. Does make me grateful that I actually *have* other interests to move on to, because some people obviously don't and it's not pretty, is it? heh
