O, Discussions (Joke)

=Ode to Discussions=
O' Discussions! Ever so chaotic,To the brim, filled with children ever so idiotic,Now you lay forgotten, locked awayCollecting dust and emptiness...Until this day.I reuse the keys from times long passedNow I see you again...Now I wish against the past
On the second day of November in the year of 2022, the Backrooms Fandom Moderators gathered around with uneasy, worried expressions on their faces. The Head Admin, Egglord, a man with unknown ambitions and motives, was about to propose an idea that may bring about the end of Fandom. This very idea was the one that caused the platform to decline in users. Before, it was a haze of madness of inexplicable disorder. Destruction reigned the Discussions. Roleplayers spammed disgustingly iconic smiles. Obviously underaged users participated in events that were certain to collapse the foundation of the Fandom. It was, in simple terms, a bomb set to inevitably detonate. Repairing the damage that it caused took eons, and Egglord, even now skeptical of his idea, would be the one to bring it back...
The long, ovaloid table stood beneath his hands, leaning against the wooden surface. Chairs of varying design line its extended circumference, each labeled with a name tag. Rarely was the table full for a conference, but for a proposal so drastically ridiculous and dangerous, today was, needless to say, an exception. Within a few minutes, the room was full with Moderators and Admins. After a moment to let the atmosphere settle, the discussion began.
From a chair of glittering starlight topped with a brilliant tag rose Michigan, a now retired Moderator. Her hair waved as she stood up. Doubt was streaked in her eyes as she spoke.
"So why are we here?" she asked. "Is something wrong, Egglord?"
He sighed. He was uncomfortable. He wanted to dismiss the conference immediately. But what he was about to do was for the sake of the Fandom. It was dying, and he was pulling his final card. He was hesitant. There was no turning back...
"I... think we should reintroduce Discussions," he began with a shaky voice. "It may benefit us and the Fandom."
The room was silent, filled with an anxious tone like a thick, moist blanket on a summer day. The blanket hung in the air like a chandelier waiting to crash onto the table. The duration of the silence was almost embarrassing, save for the loud grinding and whirring noises of a tank at the other end of the table. Schicksalhaft broke the silence. He cleared his throat and stood up with a sort of uncertainty mixed with skepticism in his eyes.
"But Egglord. I'm sure you remember what happened last time. It was absolute chaos!"
"You think I haven't considered that, yet?" Egglord snapped. "We're on the brink of dying, and I'm doing all that I can to bring back the Fandom! We're dying, Sylas. Dying!."
Sylas hastily sat down, shocked by Egglord's sudden shift in tone. Murmuring began to rise as the Moderators began to discuss this decision. While most of them were against the proposal, they did not show obvious indication, for they were fearful of being under the anger of Egglord. He always thought deeply and considered before he spoke, for he was a man who makes wise decisions.
From the opposing side of Sylas rose another administrator, OGominho. He drew his hand through his hair and spoke up.
"Eggy... are you absolutely sure? Are you certain that you will go through the entire process again? We could bring the entire Wiki down to its knees with this."
This time, Egglord looked straight at OGominho with a determined twinkle in his eyes. The faintest hint of a smile began to form on Egglord's face. Adjusting his goggles, he responded in a voice of pure steel.
"Oh, I'm certain, Oggy. I'm very certain..."
From that moment on, there was a controversial agreement. The Moderators and Admins brought back Discussions. Fortunately, chaos had a weakened grip, as only a few people now were dominating it. From what you can see here, reader, is that this tale was fairly short. However, there was much more detail than I was allowed to let on. But all I can say is that the rest...
was history.
