Taking Note of Humanity

After nearly twenty years of activity, June of 2024 likely will be our last month on the Internet. Our lease with the hosting service will expire about that time. Unless some compelling reason to continue this operation is brought to my attention, we will become history on or about the first day of summer.

The Brainformation Forums project was of deep personal significance. We grew up in an era before social networks became an institution, which was a very exciting time in the development of the Internet in general. For the most part Brainformation became the home for people displaced from other similar bulletin board forums, and several meaningful friendships were created via that mechanism. I'm humbled and extremely grateful for all the people who made this website their home and contributed to our site's mission. Many of our members have passed on to a greater existence and take on the rank of our Guardian Angels, but most of our gang is now scattered about elsewhere along the information highway. My thanks go to all of you for making me a better and more informed person.

While this website will fade into the depths of Google's (and others') archives the group Fans of Brainformation will remain active on Facebook. If you wish to contace me personally, that would be the place to do so (unfortunately you'll need an account there to participate). Some of our former members are in that group as well.

So Long, Farewell

There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

(coo-coo) Regretfully they tell us
(coo-coo) But firmly they compel us
to say good bye
coo-coo

To you

So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you

So long, farewell
Au revoir, Auf Weidersehen
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne
(talking to the captain) yes?
(Captain) no!

So long, farewell
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye

I'm glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone
To bed and so must I

So long, farewell
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye
