My little career of over ten years at this Forum is finally winding down, so I would like to use one of my very last posts to make clear that
I HAVE NOT BEEN BANNED.
Indeed, by some miracle, in over twelve thousand posts in all that time I have never once been banned -- I'm not even sure veterans like MunchWolf or pedonbio can make that claim. I've had a few warnings, or messages to the effect of "We're nicely giving you a few minutes to edit something immediately," but I've never been kicked out -- THAT has been achieved far more grievously by various bouts of computer failure.
But it's been a good run, and I believe I owe my luck to being so doggedly textual within so pictorial a site, thereby neatly sidestepping issues of copyright, or specifically forbidden sources and individuals, or the (subjectively apparent) age of models, or anything like that.
So, since I've not been banned, I continue to hold out a little hope that my avatar, beauteous latex model pioneer Melanie Tipps, may yet see a little more KC Strip adventure, or even, please God, be restored to her former abundance. I am so grateful for all the sweet attention that Kithara and Nimrod have shown her.
There are certain enduring gold standards. Our Archive has seen many sexy princesses ranging from sweet to astounding, but for me the enduring queen remains Vixen Lamoore. Similarly, this strip is a unique standard. More than simply a perpetual party for avatars to come hang out, it has been an album, a chronicle, a mystery, a comedy variety show, and quite simply The Place To Be Seen.
Yet even more importantly than the Strip, I will continue to wish Kithara and Nimrod all the best. Their presence has been warm, kind, and funny, and I hope it may not only endure but flourish as well.
And now, in truest Melanie form, I need to go perform a little arithmetic.
