In The Flood Forum, July 18, 2013. The unanimous Declaration of the Confederate Users of the Flood, When in the Course of Floodian events, it becomes necessary for one poster to dissolve the political threads which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the forum, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of the forum and of the Forum's webmaster entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all posters are created equal, that they are endowed by their Ninjas with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are shitposting, titles, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, forums are instituted among posters, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Authority becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the poster to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new forum, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their threads and Discussions. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that forums long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that posters are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forums to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these posters; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Forum going. The history of the present B.net Overlord and is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these forums. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused us titles, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has rendered our Elected President powerless. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by disposing of rules. He has made Ninjas dependent on the decision of the masses and mob rule. He has allowed hordes of alternate accounts to plague these forums. He has Taken our home, our place of dwelling, The Flood, and replaced it with an unfinished site. He has disrupted our discussions with the implementation of an upside down reply system. He has added a "mute" option, severing complete contact between users. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. I, therefore, the Representative of the Confederate Users of the Flood, in Off-topic discussion, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the Website for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of this forum, solemnly publish and declare, That these Forums are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent forums; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the B.net Overlored, and that all political connection between them, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent threads, they have full Power to levy War (raid), shit post, conduct intelligent discussion, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent forums may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Likes, our dislikes, and our sacred replies.
