	From the looks of things, a popular theory is that the PR devils somehow had them shut down. And people called us paranoid for idly wondering if someone with a vendetta kept getting us TOS'ed. We're nowhere even in the same league as that. (Reply to this)(Thread)

The speculation in the second post on this tread is great.

I quote:

Could it be that they (those evil PR devils at WB --ed) bought the 'Prancing Pony'. Maybe we're not even part of DL anymore, which is why there is not link on the main page.
If they did, they would be able to track some of the posters and maybe Dom and Elijah got in trouble this way. Maybe they even hijacked the authenticated id's. Which is why 'Jeff' started to sound more depressed. Both Jeff and Liam sounded like things were bad, and they both left open the speculation that they guys had broken up (never clarified otherwise).

Because a giant movie studio has nothing more to do than worry about a bunch of fans posting to a message board. Maybe they will try to buy the new site from MsA. She will get to post long messages of persecution until she suddenly disappears and it will turn out that the Evil PR Devils "hijacked her authenticated id".

This is how the post ended:

I know this sounds far-fetched but with the kind of money at stake, who knows.

It does more than sound far-fetched, it sounds like you are stark raving nutters. But, really, who knows?

	Gosh gee, last time I checked, New Line, etc. etc. doesn't soley depend on Lord of the Rings as for their money either. And believe me, the 'homophobic' fen of LotR doesn't solely keep the fandom going either. Their self-righteous importance is so absurd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I was going to comment, but a sheer and desperate need to laugh myself into hysterics repeatedly got the better of me, and I kept losing my train of thought. (Reply to this)

	Can someone explain to me why Dominic and Elijah would assume the online pseudonyms of "Jeff" and "Liam" and post on a board about themselves, or why they would get "in trouble" for doing so? I thought not. (Reply to this)

	What the... there's more than one "Prancing Pony"? For a minute I thought this post meant Datalounge got the Prancing Pony messageboard at bitofearth.net closed down and thought huh...? (Reply to this)
