Guess who just got back today?  
Those message boards that had been away.  
Have they changed, who’s to say?  
but man I still think this place is groovy!

We were jonesing when they weren’t around,  
Imm hoo was nowhere to be found  
The temporary pit, it was toned down,  
driving all the dopers crazy!

The boards are back in town

You know that guy that used to troll a lot?  
posting trash, thinking he was hot?  
When he says he’s cool, man, I tell you he was not,  
I mean he’s pathetic.

That thread over at Emm Pee Sims?  
Whoever flirts the most, you know that she wins,  
Man, they’re talking about all their sins,  
and if you can’t handle the details, forget it

Sunday night and it’s quite a thrill,  
Post again, argue and chill  
debates will rage, you know they will  
and if the dopers want to post you better let 'em

Mods in the corner, brandishing metaphorical sticks,  
Foura getting longer, words getting thick,  
Everybody’s happy, especially the clique  
Now that the boards are here again!

The boards are back in town!

:D:D:D

Have you heard the news of the sdmb?  
From the pinned announcement of tubadiva?  
Have you seen the boards? They are back in action.  
Spreading joy to all, and letting us curse again:-)

They have come again, for no one could stop them.  
The temp board was nice, but we’re back again!  
Gloria to our Jerry Davis, Gloria to our Jerry Davis.  
And a halleluia thrown in too;)

Have you seen the threads started in the pit?  
People saying “fuck” for fuck’s sake, alright!  
Gloria to our Jerry Davis, Gloria to our Jerry Davis.  
And a halleluia thrown in too;)

Let debating commence once again in full.  
Does God exist? Gun control yes or no?  
Should abortion be allowed at all?  
Is race more than a cultural phenomenon?

They have come again, for no one could stop them.  
The temp board was nice, but we’re back again!  
Gloria to our Jerry Davis, Gloria to our Jerry Davis.  
And a halleluia thrown in too;)

Buffy and The Lord of the Rings have returned  
to Cafe Society (like they were ever gone!)  
Mundanity rules in MPSIMS, 'pinions in IMHO;  
If you’ve got a question 'bout the place, ATMB (yesIknowitdoesn’tscan).

They have come again, for no one could stop them.

My Post Counts back and the Dopers are all here,  
Hey Nahh, Hey Nahh, my post count’s back.

The break was rough but then we got to do the dishes,  
Hey Nahh, Hey Nahh, my post count’s back.

Clicked in from ol’ Fathom when somebody linked,  
didn’t get to bed last night  
It’s been really tough to have it on the blink,  
Esprix’s been in such a fright:

I’m back on the SDMB  
We know how lucky we be, yeah,  
Back on the SDMB

Been away so long I hardly knew the place,  
gee, it’s good to be back home  
Leave it 'til tomorrow to hit Great Debates,  
Honey, disconnect the phone:

I’m back on the SDMB  
We know how lucky we be, yeah,  
Back on the SDMB

Well, those DC babes really knock me out,  
they leave ol’ Snopes behind  
And ChiDope gals make me sing and shout,  
That Gaudere’s always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mind.

Oh, show me 'round our fora that we’ve not yet filled,  
Show me our new features, too.  
Show me our new colors (can we post in gold?)  
We can use new fonts, it’s true:

I’m back on the SDMB  
We know how lucky we be, yeah,  
Back on the SDMB!

On the drive in this morning, I punched up the classic-rock station just as they were playing “The Boys Are Back In Town”, and I was genuinely disappointed that I didn’t have a printout of the OP with me, so that I could sing **Weirddave** ’s words along with the music. 🙂

(to the tune of Sloop John B)

We’ve come to the SDMB,  
Everybody and me,  
From around the world we do roam.  
Someone hacked us alright,  
got us into a fight,  
I feel so broke up,  
I want to go home.

So start up the SDMB,  
See how many users we get,  
Thank Tuba for paying for it.  
But let me go home, let me go home.  
I wanna go home, yeah, yeah.  
Well I fell so broke up,  
I wanna go home.

The hacker, he had thunk,  
He shut us down but that was bunk.  
The admins had to fix us anyway.  
Why don’t the trolls leave us alone?  
Yeah, yeah,  
I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.

So start up the SDMB,  
See how many users we get,  
Thank Tuba for paying for it.  
But let me go home, let me go home.  
I wanna go home, let me go home.  
Start up the SDMB  
I feel so broke up I wanna go home.  
Let me go home.

The poor admins, they caught the fits,  
Getting us back up bit by bit.  
And then they shook but gave us a new home.  
We’ve come home,  
They let us come home.  
That was the strangest trip I’ve ever been on.

So start up the SDMB,  
See how many users we get,  
Will we have to pay for it?  
They let us come home, they let us come home.  
I wanted to come home, yeah, yeah.  
Well I felt so broke up,  
But they let us come home.

Why on earth would I want to do _that?_ 😉
