Hello. It’s hugely annoying to look at “community information” and find just an in-joke that won’t make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I’m sure that’s fine for those already initiated, but I still don’t know what “risa” means!

Don’t worry, I also know you don’t care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out…? Well, that’s fine; it’s your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don’t even clarify where their interests lie…

EDIT: Don’t worry, I’m gone, and I’ve turned off reply notifications… I have even watched Star Trek! But don’t fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you’re safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won’t bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping…

    Poetic … an Inquiring Traveller asks what Risa is … followers of Risa appear and tell the lost Inquiring Traveller that they already know the answer … the Inquiring Traveller is confused and upset by the response … an antagonistic story follows where characters fight over the details and explanations … the followers of Risa watch the Inquiring Traveller as they stumble around looking for answers … the Inquiring Traveller finds the answer to the question and dismisses it

    The followers of Risa: … that is what we expected of you … you have found the answer

    lol

      Because it is so clear it takes a long time to realize it. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.

        Wait a minute, that’s not star trek!
