Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

My favorite forum is still chugging along!

If you're a fan, you're most welcome.

If you're not a fan, you're still welcome, but you probably won't get a lot of our references.

If you're a dickweed- well, you probably won't last any longer than Tom Servo did as an Observer.

I wonder if there's beer on the Sun...

Well there better be! Otherwise I'm not going to vacation there!

I see Rowsdower, I up vote Rowsdower!

Even many fans don't get this reference now, sadly. The DVD set it was on is long out-of-print and Tjardus Greidanus won't grant them the rights to re-release it. He also sends takedowns to anyone who uploads The Final Sacrifice to YouTube.

It really sucks when one of the best episodes of a TV show can't bee seen.

Yeah, I've read about his refusal to let people enjoy it. That's a shame as it's one of my favorite MST3K episodes.

Keep circulating the tapes!

This is a beautiful thing. I love MST3K, I might just join it.

He's the wind, baby!

Sorry, baby. No one rules the Tom Monster!

Thanks for the recommendation.
