    I really liked that site but it's been two years. Not sure anyone still cares.

      I agree with Ula. Who knows if it will be as popular as before.

        Re: Rumors For Bringing Back Mysticwicks

        I liked precisely three boards on MW and thought the rest was a troll den run by 'mods' who liked to play favourites. Which was a shame because there were a lot of interesting members with a lot of interesting things to say. But I don't think that we lost anything particularly spectacular when it was hacked. If it comes back up, I'm not sure I'll bother going back there. Ironically, two of the most interesting people I used to see there are now here. And evidently there are a few of you who I never interacted with there that are now here. Either way, I'll take PF over MW any day of the week.

          Shrug, it was a site that I kept intending to go back and look at more but never really got around to. All told, I generally don't have the energy for more than one pagan/occult/mystic/pick-a-blasted-adjective board at a time and I don't expect that to change.
          life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

          Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

          "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

          John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

          "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

          Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

            I wasn't all that impressed with MW when I was there...which I think was several incarnations ago. Haven't they been through this several times? Sometimes I loiter at ecauldron's boards, but they take themselves too seriously enough to interact with as a group over there.

              It really wasn't my cup of tea. I think at least twice a year they herald its return.

              Ecauldron and wiccantogether are very similar in that way. Everybody's a teacher, and nobodies a student. I'm not the sort of Pagan that thinks anybody is "wrong", but boy a lot of bad information is perpetuated in places like that.

                I know it had gone down a few times and not just due to the hackers that finally took it out. MOL tried to keep it together but it went through a lot of various power struggles which resulted in some mass migrations a number of times. Some very serious blogs and write ups floated around for some time about what supposedly was going on behind the scenes and talking about people. I know for a while there was also some serious mining of member's by other sites which simply carried the conflict from Mysticwicks to other forums.

                  Am I the only one thinking these kinds of people simply have too much time on their hands? For Pete's sake, read a book...

                    MW never interested me... I know I've been on the site before but it's was prior to my PF days. So... I have no valuable input.

                      It will likely not be the same as people remember it being from before. Which could be a good thing. However, it could be the same thing as bringing someone back from the dead. You can't be sure that what you're bringing back is the same person as when they died. (man, that's unintentionally morbid).
                      In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time. ~~ Edward P. Tryon
