RIP in Pineapples Shoutbox (Eulogy to the Shoutbox)

Dear Shoutbox,

You have been important to the lives of Lake Valor member... Lake Valorians... Lake Valori... Whatever we are called for the last two year. You have been an important box that lived at the top of the website of Lake Valor, housing the LV Announcer, a now sentient friend to the community of Lake Valor who announced important events and new members to the entire website. Without you, the poor LV Announcer is unemployed and homeless.

Furthermore, you have been a great source of conversation. Whether it is complaints, a funny conversation, or even someone with major issues in their life at the moment, you have been a great place for all those. There would always be someone to disagree with the complaints, create a funny string of Shouts, or even lift the spirits of those who can't do it for themselves. You have been the source of many new friendships that have lasted until someone officially leaves the Lake (why anyone would want to do that baffles me...).

Shoutbox, I believe I speak for everyone on the Lake that you will be sorely missed. You were taken from us in the prime of your virtual life, and while you were taken from us with good reason by the lord of cute Satix and lord of Toxic Heal Achromatic, you will be missed.

Shoutbox...

RIP in Pineapples.

 

And thus it was revealed that Not only Lake Valor, but also the valiant Peregrine Took had lost a dear friend on that day. Merry, you will not be forgotten.
