One thread stood out as a symbol of the new order - [[carrot..?]] was a thread with seemingly no purpose which grew without apparent reason.

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but it was accepted by the bunny populace - this was Shive's land, and it was his right.

		+	==The Great Crash and the Keenspot Migration==
		+	In the beginning (or at least long enough ago to be a fair facsimile for it), there was the TWC forum. And it was good. It had multiple subforums to keep the main forum from becoming cluttered - such as a forum for games and a forum for RPs. When El Goonish Shive moved to Keenspot, the vast majority of the bunnies refused to migrate, far preferring the structure of the familiar old board. Then came The Great Crash, when the TWC forum fell to the ground and did not rise. After many days of waiting, the bunnies came to realise that the forum would not be rising again any time soon, and thus the Keenspot Migration began, where the bunnies left their homeland for the only other land friendly to their traditions - the new forum at Keenspot.
