It’s December 21, 2012. The Mayan calendar has run out of dates. The Earth is rapidly being destroyed. Mere hours remain before the end of everything we know and love.

So of course, we’re all at our computers, posting furiously. What threads will be started and/or closed on the day the Earth is destroyed.

Oh I don’t believe that! There will be no new servers here until there are new masters. End of time or not.

But on the up side, anyone who is attempting to read the Dope when the end of the world comes will be among the last people to know about it.
