When you are a witness to culture's loss
I mean, picture this. There was an on-line community, or a webpage or whatever. It gave some people laugh, annoyed some, had that peculiar kind of humour. I copied some of the pictures posted on it, downloaded some of the content. And then it died, lost in the shifting currents of the Internet, and took all that was on it, with itself, to its digital oblivion. Now I feel a tiniest bit like a Medieval monk, going around with his daily monastic business, only once in a while reflecting on the books gathered in his library, that his may well be the last artifacts of the old times.
Luckily the Magical Adventures of Winnie the Pooh were spared such fate, but that must've been my motivation when I started a 'Tropes entry on them.
Have you ever felt this way?

Rarely, but I've had my moments. Listening to Bügsküll's Gargamelodies or Ludus' The Seduction, for example.
I really like Milne's Pooh books. I should read them again soon.
Not really, but I know the feeling when I can't take someone seriously anymore, because they use an exaggerated metaphor.
Actually, now that I think of it, that reminds me of Encyclopedia Obscura, which I really liked to read. It's still there, but it hasn't updated since ages and the owner, Per Arne, seems to have vanished. It's very disheartening to take a look at the forums, whose last entries (ages old too) are about exactly that.
But as I said, it's still there, so that probably doesn't fit.
Well, the ED motto is/was "And nothing of value was lost." I wouldn't get that sentimental about it.
On a serious note, I remember reading a few years ago that the US Library of Congress was going to start downloading stuff from the Web for storage in order to protect material of cultural significance. The arguments you could have over what that extends to..
If nothing else, the Utah NSA database will have everything. Granted, not for the same purposes as Library of Congress.
^^ Well, I wasn't talking about ED, but I confused the names.
Fucking ED, pushes the beautiful memories of EO out of my head...
I read that as "fucking ED plushies". I kind of want one now just as a conversation piece or something, but it'd probably wind up being a felt Goatse or something
Could simply be ED-Tan.
Now I want to see how one would look.

You would expect something crazier.
The plush doll, I meant.
Felt Goatse sounds quite a rad thing to have.
^If you're into that, I guess...
People've been having plush Cthulhus, distribution functions and chlamydia microbes. In such company, plush Goatse just can't not fit.
Cthulhu, math, and viruses all have one important thing in common though.
They're not a goddamn distended anus.
Man, I wonder if scientists sometimes sit down and classify things based on whether they are or not a distended anus.
you're a rocket scientist, bee, is this true?
it's distended anuses
wait
distended anuses with jetpacks
Sorry if I'm missing something here, but is Irdgck referring to anything specific?
Allow me to explain [insert link to goatse . cx here, note don't go here it's a picture of a dude with a gaping anus, seriously]
>Plush Goatse
>Not talking about some weird sex toy.
Waaaaaaaiiit....
I actually prefer ED-Tan to a lot of the other tans, because she's less child-like. If you made the eyes smaller she'd basically be a normal adult (cartoon) woman.
That feel bro
Wikipe-tan is still my favorite website-tan. Maybe it's her hairpieces. Or maybe it's just because I like pixel art.
I can't bring myself to like ED-tan, based off of that picture. The eyes are too screwed up.
Is there a Tan-tan?
Yeah.
She smells just as bad on the inside.
