They made it...
Though there were reports of screams. One witness stated they could clearly hear someone yelling, "I regret nothing!!" Just before the spectacular and complete disintegration of the trainwreck!

There's a certain irony that the video and audio are chatbot generated, hehe. The bubble is bursting and even has sort of burst if you ask me. Nobody seems to be pushing it anymore, maybe the bubble will just quietly implode rather than anything else.

I used to live in the boonies, the only utilities we had were power and a phone line. Water came from a well on site, and there was no cable. Internet was through an old school modem, so I spent zero time online. That was in the early 2000s, too.
We were on dialup into the 2000s. Was sometime after 2004 when we moved into our current home when we got cable internet. Coincided with us upgrading from the old Gateway running Win98 to a Dell desktop with WinXp. Holy cow. Thought we’d died and gone to heaven with the new found fast internet.

I didn't really get "online" until I went back to school in 2005 and had to. I still didn't really get into it until I discovered these gear forums in 2007 or 2008. The first forum I joined was the SD forum, but I was afraid to post because I thought every one on these forums was a pro and I couldn't believe they let me in.

The first forum I ever joined was the original Telecaster Discussion Page in around '98 or so. Then the PRS forum not too long after that, and I finally found myself on the original Les Paul Forum which became home for a number of years.
DPS World (AKAI DPS24 board)was the first for me….then Reaper, and gearslutz….
A bit later came MLP(that soured me from guitar forums for a bit…)
Then ETSG got me back.

Ah yes, GearSlutz. That was my first real experience with internet prima donnas, though there were a lot of really cool people there as well.
My first taste of just how crazy a forum could get was on the Les Paul Forum when I was a moderator there-on Sept 11, 2001. I was the only mod online that morning, and it was intense.
