"No one would have believed in the first years of the twenty-first century that this forum was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than BBV's and yet as mortal as their own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scru- tinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency BBVers went to and fro over teh internets about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the other forums of teh internets as sources of BBV danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most BBVers fancied there might be other men upon other forums, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome fish to their rakeback enterprise. Yet across the gulf of Al Gore's internets, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this forum with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twenty-first century came the great disillusionment."

They've come to take over the forum, and only Jeff Goldblum has noticed!
