Something’s gone wrong again.
Despite repeated warnings and threats the forum is still here.
We’ve been once round the sun.Threads roll on. Opinions harden.
And yet again a group of us will stand in a Devonshire valley and act like this is all perfectly normal.
It isn’t.
It also isn’t free.
- The Lopwell Raffle is back. -
Not really a tradition. More a necessary correction.
Donations demanded / begged.
This is the deal if you want to keep squatting in this bubble on the internet.
All funds go towards keeping this particular horror show alive .
Before anyone starts — no, you haven’t got “nothing”.
You just haven’t looked properly.
There will be something.
On a shelf. In a rack. In that drawer you don’t open anymore. You know the one.
Something you upgraded from.
Something you once argued about. Possibly at length. Possibly while wrong.
Something that still works. Even if you won’t admit it.
That’s what we’re after.
Now — this bit matters.
We don’t want bollox, so don’t be that guy. Donations should make you feel an ache.
No red herrings.
No “someone might want this” optimism.
If you wouldn’t be at least a bit annoyed to see someone else win it, leave it where it is.
We’re trying to beat last year, not quietly sabotage it with a pile of toot.
Records you’d actually play.
Kit that still has a use.
Add below what you’re bringing, or sending ahead. Don’t overthink it — just get it written down.
We’re aiming to beat last year. Properly.
Feel good about it if you like.
Keeps this place going.
You tend to get out roughly what you put in.
Early posts help set the tone.
A fresh thread for ticket sales will land towards the end of May.
You’ll get your ticket.
You might win something decent.
Or something you’ll spend six months convincing yourself it is decent.
Last year worked. Somehow.
Best not to poke at it too much.
Be involved.
And don’t be a shit.
