Goddammit. How are you suppose to honor a website with a broken link?

Ok, ok......ok. What the fuck. Portal of Evil is down. Been down all day. Is this the end? What is going on? Chet? Support? Seanbaby? Anybody?
And while we're on the subject, what ever happened to my evilemail address, huh?
I demand an explanation.

So, does this mean disgruntled goat can no longer use my horrific July 2005 meltdown against me? Sweet!

It sucks but I guess this was due. And anyway I found another mirror for the LJRIG.

So it is all gone then. All the crazy conspiracy theorists, and cranks, and bad webcomics, and furries crying fursecution, and people obsessed with kid's cartoons, and bad webcomics, and wiccan goofballs and bad webcomics. Did I mention all of the bad webcomics? Like Unicorn Jelly, and Drowtales, and Drow Cop, and that one with the anime elves that drew some whiny defender to the forums, and Hathor the Cowgoddess, and Perky Goth and Candi Raver and all the others I can't remember right now.

A few other favorite exhibits that I remember right now include, of course Time Cube, and the site devoted to the Ed Wood of sci-fi literature Pel Torro,
the creepy grandad obsessed with the mouse lady from the Rescue Rangers cartoon
and one of my favorites in the category of defensive site owners, Nefarious Darius, leader of a gang of shaggy haired Society for Creative Anachorism rejects.

Well, I suppose it was a good run.

R.I.P. Red, you big, beautiful bastard.

I was there when Uillillia discovered his limit break powers.

I laughed along with all of you at Ki Sanctuary website, and in turn discovered the Chrono Werewolf video.

I was there to laugh at the AIDS fetishists, reptoid conspiracy theorists, creationists, racists, furries.

I stared in wonder at the Parade Kid.

Now, that's all been wiped from the face of the earth. I feel like a part of me has died. :(

Rest in piece, you bitchbastard.

Remember when there was only one set of footprints in the sand?

Me neither.

Goodbye, The Loser Living Upstairs. I will always remember the nights you spent alone with your vacuum cleaner and copy of "ManDate".

Goodbye, True Porn Clerk Stories. May your hand sanitizer bottle always be full, when a customer returns a video with a sticky cover. Mr. Pig, Mr. Creaky and I all solute you.

Goodbye, Hathor the Cowgoddess. I will never forget your cow-faced, nipple-headed, superhero mask or the time you took a crap in the dinning room of McDonalds.

And finally, goodbye, Portal of Evil. I will always remember the Internet argument over why furry art is more despicable than hentai anime or Star Trek fanfiction.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I remember the Gonterforce. Hell, I was part of the Gonterforce. We were the few brave souls who looked Gonterman's atrocities in the eye and said 'no more!' In our heyday, people called us heroes. They called us defenders, and they looked to us as symbols of everything good on the Internet.

It's been a long time since those days. The threats we fought are now tamed and part of the background. People have forgotten about us, and some even vilify us. The world may have forgotten us and our sacrifice, but I never will. So long as I live, I will be proud of the time I spent fighting alongside my comrades in the Gonterforce. They were the greatest men and women on the Internet, and their time passed too soon.

God bless the Gonterforce, and God bless Portal of Evil.

Goodnight, sweet prince. I'm still at the same job I worked at when I first discovered you eight or so years ago and I can't really remember a an internet without you. I've been visiting you since before I even owned a PC. You were special and I'll miss ya, ya hideous mess of broken human beings ya.

I don't think POE is actually gone...I think someone somewhere just screwed something up and no one is in too big of a rush to fix it.
Still, I'm sure TheFlu is somewhere wringing his hands is pure delight....

I remember using to look up really bad webcomics and keeping up with JDR's craziness.

I'm gonna miss ya, you ugly bastard.

Damn, that's depressing.

I was never there for the golden age but I managed to sneak in for the site's autumn years. Ki Sanctuary, The LJRIG, Fat fetishists and the final Moulton rampage.

We're all that remain to carry on it's legacy

I'm really going to miss Poe Red, though this feels sort of comparable to CBGB closing - I've missed it for a long while now.

This video clip here is how I found out about the plug being pulled (and before my "Jeff Boss For Senate" site could be activated?!?). It's kind of fitting, as the DS and POE (via Poe-News) both eventually morphed from "point out just how weird the weirdoes are" to "let's keep the same type of humor in the service of discussion of actual current events."

I think my all-time favorite thread on Red was when someone found a furry who was peer-pressured by the other denizens of a vore forum into changing his fursona from a wolf to a deer so the rest of the forum would have someone to pretend to eat.

=(

I've been coming to POE since high school, some 9 or so years ago, and it has been years and years of nonsense. Ah to think of all the things (especially fetishes) I would've never known about if not for this place. RIP

near on 8-10 years. no idea wtf yall speak on. pointlessness overwhelms.

I first found PoE while digging up Time Cube shit. That was 7 years ago. I was 14.

I feel old.

No one talks about All Star Gus Ball.

God, that's depressing. PoE kind of defined an era for me, even though I got to the party late and haven't been there for awhile. I still remember outing one of Moulton's sock puppets, "Uncle Sticky" or something like that.

Pour one out.

Goodnight sweet prince

Grampa Desade disapproves!

Oh, Gorath! The Pain!

rip
he was da best
