I have to be honest, the unicorn has become kind of a legend around here now (pun enjoyed, but not intended
), and I for one would hate to lose it. At this point it's become something uniquely us; not just CoH, not just Titan, but
this time,
this experience. The decline of the official forums, migrating to our new home here, and building walls to keep the ugliness out while we expand this place from what it was to what it suddenly needed, and generously offered, to become. Those who were here during this time of upheaval and struggle have formed a community of our own, an enclave within the former CoH and Titan communities. With the word 'unicorn' we are starting to form our own in-jokes, our own set of community-only references that outsiders and newcomers won't get. Every time we have to explain the full story of it we reinforce the strength and maturity our little enclave has shown, reminding ourselves and informing others that we're not here just to foster bitterness and live in the past, we're here to do something good and to be adults about it.
I say, long live the Legend of the Unicorn!
