Not with a Bang
The Death of the SmartShanghai Forum - By SexyPaul, Apr 23, 08
It's been a long and winding road, as they say. We've shared tears of joy, laughter, and sadness -- love and pain -- and the occasional rude limerick, but times change and it's time to move on... and so it falls on me to announce that the SmartShanghai Forum will be discontinued starting today.
The SmSh Forum was born in the autumn in the year of our lord 2003. It became an instant success (mostly due to the popularity of their interactive map) and Shanghai at last had an up-to-date and modern looking website to service their needs for all that is "Shanghai."
Personas loosely based on real people were formed soon thereafter, and these personas logged in day after day to taunt, goad, insult, threaten, intimidate, bully, and, very rarely, to inform or compliment each other. And it was these characters that kept the damn thing going for so long. People like Trix (who wasn't under the influence as much in those early days) and Carsten (who had a proper job back then), Daomingsi (when he had a girlfriend and wasn't so cynical), good old Xtina (when she was younger and... virginal), Luciferno (when he didn't resemble a sperm whale), SynerG (who hasn't changed in the slightest in the last five years apart from the fact that he's just now started shaving), moneyinabox (who would always give you a proper answer to a question, even if it was a wrong answer) and the gone but not forgotten Big J (who was well know for his witty writing and for being the President of Zimbabwe). Countless others contributed in their own special and sometimes idiotic way as well...
Looking back at some of the weirdest thread titles we have ever had, a few spring to mind as instant classics:
"Wheres all the HOT Butt"; "The Homosexual Thread for Casper XX"; "Looking for the guy who smiled at me in Mint last night

"Good friends we had, oh !
Good friends we lost,
Along the way, hey !"
in. "No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley
R.I.P. Smart Shanghai forum and Bless the time saved I.R.L. !
But as we all know, in this virtual world called The Net, death is just a concept created by some 1 and some 0.... and some people have the power to change them !
So let's just wait for them to take the red pill and save the world of Smart Shanghai !!!
Bless lives, both the real and the virtual ones !!!
