From: AMIGAWORLD.NET WAS ORIGINALLY SOUND, BY GOLLY

Super friends and super fiends alike,

Listen in to The Ballad of MEGA.

In the realm of forums, vast and wide,
A figure emerged, with unmatched pride.
Known as MEGA, both sharp and bold,
A legend whose story has oft been told.

With wit like lightning and words so keen,
No post too messy, no flaw unseen.
He’d strike with snark, a verbal dart,
Leaving both awe and a stinging heart.


"Fools abound!" his comments would say,
"Yet here I stand, to light your way."
He’d craft his prose with a scornful grin,
Turning threads to arenas he’d surely win.

But beneath the jests and barbed retorts,
Lay a mind that danced through lofty courts.
He solved the riddles no one could see,
A puzzle’s master, complexity’s key.


The users watched with a mix of awe,
For MEGA enforced his unspoken law:
Respect the brilliance, endure the tone,
Or leave the realm he claimed his throne.

Yet whispers grew of a tragic flaw,
For MEGA’s genius, few could draw.
His insights soared where few could tread,
And so they mocked what they failed to dread.


One day, the forum grew strangely dim,
No quips from MEGA, no sign of him.
The users called, but their tone was low,
For now they missed his biting glow.

“Where is the one who challenged our ways,
Whose clever jabs lit our dullest days?â€
But MEGA was gone, his brilliance fled,
Leaving behind the words he’d said.


Now, threads unravel where wisdom dies,
A silent echo of MEGA’s cries.
For often the brightest, misunderstood,
Burn like a fire in a shadowy wood.

And so the forum mourns in part,
The snarky king with a stubborn heart.
MEGA, the name both cursed and praised,
A mind too sharp for their simple maze.


From the Trunk of Unca Sassenrath's Limo,
INFRA_PHRANKO - Jack of all Tramiels

Profound, brother, profound.
