idlepurge, bite my shiny metal donkey! ;P

Once Upon A Time...

When Hard Drives were 5 megabytes, maybe even 20, yes, megabytes, ....it might have meant something to do muck idlepurges.

Nowadays, what does it accomplish:

1) saves all of maybe 20 k or so for the database character toading ...
2) even more if there was a lot of stuff that they built, at the expense of cohesion in the muck layout
3) the disappointment of a person who returns to find all the hours they spent investing time and energy there, trashed.

So what does it accomplish any more...? It is no more than an archaic technicality, a mere protocol of a bygone day when it mattered. And the result of this unpondered remnant (not unlike a bureaucratic stamp at the department of motor vehicles) ... is a lose-lose situation all around.

I humbly submit... that idle purges may now officially become a thing of the past.

I keep forgetting to hop on the MUCKs... half the time I forget the port numbers to connect... I wonder if my SpinDizzy account is still around. >>;

Yeah! It's one of the friendliest ones out there... and sometimes just toony and nutty fun! :D

Oh, thank you. We do try to make the place as friendly and accessible as possible, and that seems to lend naturally to a cheery and fun place.

You are indeed still on Spindizzy -- muck.spindizzy.org port 7072. If you need a password reset just say so; they're easy to do and generally quickly acted on. We'd be quite glad to have you over.
