The Chronicles of Satanism among other things | Forum

The entire forum itself just feels like one big blog to me.

I actually think Dan Dread formed a good analogy way back when. It's more like "plinking a can" in passing – no emotion to speak of.

It's just a collection of past plinked cans while plinking a few more on the way out.

Below the Waters of Ain...

SIXTH sefira of Yetzirah surrounded by

SIX holy spheres

SIX points of the hexagram; the fiery serpents above each having

SIX wings

I know this has got a little age on it now, and I almost expounded on it at one point. Then a while later with a follow-up of "this is good" reminded me, so why not...

My comments about "nobody caring" was not specifically in reference to my 'writing' in any way but directed at the so-called "community" aspect of some of these other forums, but not this one.

With some of these other forums such as DI. Referring to them as "community" as they do is nothing but a fucking joke and wishful thinking for the most part.

They're really nothing but a large group of pseudonym bearing strangers reverberating in their own little echo chamber of internet content who couldn't give two shits about any of their so-called individual "community" members.

I see well-established members drop off the radar that may as well be dead while the "echoing" continues on without even skipping so much as a beat – some fucking "community" that is. Meanwhile, I can't even disappear from my house for more than a few hours without raising some red flags and initiating some phone calls, but yeah, that is a little different.

So that's what the "not caring" was directed at and nothing to do with my writing. With respect to the writing(and of course the music), a lot of that (but not all of it) is just me entertaining myself at the usual times, or randomly, whatever the case may be.

You know what else these weak communities remind me of? The Hydra (in a much less meaningful sense)...

The Virtually Infinite Heads of the Primordial

The primordial juggernaut forever spiraling through existence and non;

establishing a medium by which to experience via its many heads...

The heads come and go,

where one may depart,

two may grow...

Reflections: Heracles and the Lernaean Hydra(second of twelve labors). Not one of my favorite tracks, but you know what they say: "If the shoe fits...". (But the graphic is kind of cool though anyway)

Edit: correcting the forum bugs is always a fun edit.

If friendships and community are what you seek, stay on forums. If you don't give a fuck about that either, just write in a personal journal that is only for you. But it seems that you still write, not giving a fuck, in hopes that someone, somewhere will read it.

Something like that, but maybe more of a hobbyist compulsion than a desire. Lately I get a bit jaded and do it less, but still do it.

I've encountered some users over the years that I have interest in and follow some, but generally speaking I'd say no "I don't give a fuck".

And I don't choose forums for the illusion(or delusion) of "friendships and community" but because forums have the appropriate tools to create a worthwhile experience unlike blogs and "personal journals", but that's just me.

There's a lot here that's more than just black or white and as far as "the views" I suppose I don't differ much from some of the more mainstream social platforms these days in that regard. Coincidentally, I just came across a post in one of these recent threads saying "I don't give a fuck if anyone reads this". I made that post sometime around last year, and not to appear contradictory, I think I was just enjoying myself at the time, but in response to an explicitly direct inquiry, I would have to say that overall as a writer "the views" and the occasional interactions do have 'some' worth or I might just as well be writing on some low-traffic blog somewhere.

Being able to embed music is always a must regardless the venue. No music and I usually leave pretty quick.

When there's nothing else to write about, we just write about why we write!

If you divert to poetry, then poetry it is. I've liked that in the past too. 

A Bit more on these so-called Forum Communities

Believe it or not, and with a bit of irony this place is actually more communal than the other place by a long shot. Lacking in numbers, but you, and especially the owner Zach have reached out and touched members in profound ways that are better left unsaid.

While conversely these other so-called "communities" back as far away from members as they can with their weirdo paranoid staff that hide their online presence, visits, and they hide any and all other parameters than can be hidden that are mostly just trivial shit that nobody cares about anyway.

And they operate their moderator controls with their ten-foot-poles because that's about as close to their so-called "online community" as they wish to get.

Fucking weirdo mods. Go play with the clown posse and have some fun – there's a couple of smart dudes there.
