Assalamu Alaikum

Alright, I sorta wrote this a long time ago...and was VERY hesitant about posting it, but I guess it distroys the whole purpose of writing it: to share it with all of you! Well, I've been here long enough to know many of the EXTRAORDINARY members that make LI unique and special Mashallah, including the nonmuslims who have had to deal with our craziness..

Anyways I wrote this on my free time *during class when it got soo boring*, and it's a bit outdated, but those of you who have been here for a few months, should know what is going on Inshallah..Alright, Imma shut up now and let you all read..

Part - I​


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Room
Everyone is sitting on a nice recliner chair sipping on their favorite drink, except the mods who sat at the trainee table (excluding mamsoo, cuz shes not a kid ;)) Mamsoo and Ra'eesah are discussing social frailities in ths world, while the brother SMs (supermods) are discussing the destruction of the marriage section.

zAk: it must go, too many kids

Far7an: I agree, there topics are childish

zAk: v must talk to kadafi about it

Muhammed: But, ppl would lose their (moderating) jobs

zAk: hmmmmmmm

far7an: well we can assign them to another section

zAk: ah

Muhammed: what about those that need real advice?

zAk: v have the counselling section

far7an: when will Kada---

All of a sudden Kadafi comes in with Ansar and khaldun behind him, both wearing shades.
Kadafi looks around then signals with his hand the SMs to the 'back office'

zAk and far7an slowly walk behind them whispering to eachother.

zAk: what's with ansar and khaldun wearing the shades? *raises eyebrow SS style*

far7an: Authority :shade:

zAk: ah.

Muhammed: I thought it was cuz its sunny today :confused:

All of them shrug and walk into the office.

BACK INTO THE MAIN ROOM

some gossip was going on between the "kids" about why the SM's were called back

Ahmad: I heard they were going to add another section

Mamsoo: I heard they were going to let someone go *shocked*

Fi: well whatever it is we shouldn't be talking about it, lets be patient and ask them when they return inshallah *insert hadith here*

Halima: I agree

All sit there in a moment of silence

Ahmad: So, anyone up for pizza? :D

Fi: We're on a budget *sigh*

Ahmad: Anyone willing to donate :brother:

Mamsoo: Ok, Ok, I'll pay for the pizza this time

Halima: no no no dont pay for all of it, ill pay half :)

Rabiya: ok, lets all pitch in

Mamsoo: nonsense! I said i was going to pay for it

Halima: I said i was gonna pay half, rabiya dont worry bout it

Rabiya: well i wont eat if im not even gonna pitch in my part.

Mamsoo: ok that's enough, i said i was paying, so I'm paying, alright?

Halima: Well ok whatever, when the pizza man comes, I'll just pay half

Sisters continue to bicker over the pizza

Fi and Ahmad look at each other

Ahmad: We're never gonna get our pizza, are we...

Fi: not unless u start bringing in your own money

INSIDE THE BACK OFFICE

kadafi: so what is all this about?

Ansar: I was refuting czgibson...Inshallah this wont take long *ahem*

SuperMods get a bit nervous

Ra'essah: I have no clue whats going on, so dont ask me.

Far7an: well, zAk and i were discussing how it might be gud to close the marriage section for a bit.

zAk: more like forever.

Ansar: *sigh*

Khaldun: ah, let the kids have their fun :)

Kadafi: and how will the closure of this section help or benefit the forum?

zAk: *cough* *looks at farhan*

far7an looks back at zAk signaling him to say something. Kadafi raises his eyebrow, waiting patiently for a reply.
zAk: vell how does it help the forum if v dont close it? ;) :brother:

Far7an: *looks at zAk because of his response* well, the topics are getting useless and there is no benefit to them. If a member wants real help, they can look at past threads or use the counseling section.


TO BE CONTINUED . . . . . (don't worry, more members have already been added to the next scenes..just be patient Inshallah)

Sob7an Allah.. how many of those folks are on now :(..
ah the good old days.. why is the past so seductive and the future so frightening?
 
re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

^^ Life has spent them.

Jokes aside, time is scary and overpowering, maybe that is why in hadith Qudsi Allah says I am Time!
 
re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

Indeed.. I get so many flashbacks of when I was a kid (in the eighties) and of my extended family, many of them are now dead or other things and it is quite scary, this too must have happened to them.. When my grandmother used to speak to me of her grandmother... sob7an Allah.. such a strange world.. umatin qad khalat min qabliha umam.. It makes me sad...

me too. I hit rock bottom on that realization of where it has all gone and where it all heading, all out of my control (and being a type A does not help). But then I get back up like a superman (:p) after reading this:

No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee. -Umar ibn Al-Khattab

Look at is this way:

The past is history,
the future is a mystery and
Today is a gift.
That is why we call it the present.

The past is the past. We should be grateful for it, because - whether it was good or bad - it has shaped who we are today and prepared us for what will come tomorrow.
Those people who have walked with us and influenced us in the past will always be with us in the sense that their example and their teaching is not forgotten. Even if we don't remember them in detail (I speak as someone who is quite forgetful and doesn't have many childhood memories) their influence is part of the person we have become!

But we cannot hold on to the past. To remember it to the extend of not moving forward would hold us back and prevent us from growing ourselves.

What about all the people we are meant to meet and reach out to and teach?

So let's be grateful and joyful for the friends of the past and remember them with love as we walk into the future ... and look forward to the new friends who are waiting just round the corner. :)

re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

So this is where this thread has been hiding. Now to peek behind the curtain and see what the "clowns" oops I mean staff has been doing back here.

I see a few over there. I'll try to sneak over and try to hear what they are talking about I am certain it must be something to make the forum better.



MUHAMMAD " We need a new innovative section to attrack new members"

Beardo "I'm hungry"

MUHAMMAD" Is food all you ever think of"

Souljah Girl "Can I ban somebody, I want to learn how to use the ban button"

Ramadhan "
" what are we talking about?"

Beardo "Food"


MUHAMMAD "Could we return to talking about making the forum better?"

Souljah Girl "We can open a section about Halal restaurants."

Ramadhan "
 "Come to think of it I'm hungry also."

Beardo "Let's break for lunch"

Big Rush for the door.



MUHAMMAD "Good Grief" :grumbling "Can't you guys ever think of anything besides food" "Hmmm, Where did everybody go?
 
re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

Does the staff of LI really think a food that much? Then thanks God we have here IB Kitchen Club. More food to admins and supermods and then they don´t control too much what we members are doing in the forum.

:p:

What do you think?
 
re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

Maybe when I was in here earlier it was a bad time and was the Staff's lunch Break. I'll peek back in now and see how everything looks. I see all the Brothers are sitting at one table and the Sister's are sitting at another. everything looks very business like and everybody is actively looking through their notebooks.

It looks like sister Aisha is about to say something of importance.


Aisha "Sisters, it is time we stood up and make some changes in this staff room. , I am tired of all the dull colors we need some pastel colored decor. Also, would somebody turn that TV to Something interesting instead of that stupid football game."


Hamza Asadullah "Hey, what happened to the football game on the TV and why is it on a show about knitting."

Beardo "I'm Hungry"

Insaanah: Sister Aisha do you think we could paint the walls Pink?"


Aisha 'I like that idea"


Beardo "I'm Hungry"


Muezzin "Brothers, we have a crisis. We are failing to keep some of the sections active and need to participate more in the threads to keep interest both high and accurate."

Beardo "I'm Hungry"

Aisha " I don't think it is fair that we sisters always get stuck cleaning up the staff room after these meetings. Sisters let us refuse to fo so any more"

Tilmeez "Brothers, I think we need to recruit some more Brothers as Mods. This place is begining to look like a girls club. Next thing you know the walls will be painted pink."

MUHAMMAD "Brothers, let us stop all this idle bickering and get down to business. We have real problems to address"

Beardo "I'm Hungry"



MUHAMMAD "GOOD GRIEF" :hiding:
 
re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

re: "Behind the Scenes" of IB

WOODROW: "Brothers and Sisters today we have the pleasure of a guest. It is rather unusual that a Member gets to address the Mods here. But, today sister Periwinfle19 will be asking some questions of the staff. (She Bribed Brother Beardo with a plate of biryani)/ without Further ado here is Sister Periffinkle 17,

Periwinkle18: "Thank you brother Woodrow. To begin with my name is Periwinkle18"


Afifa : "Sister are you certain? Brother Woodrow said your Name is Puffinghuff15"


Soulja Girl: "Actually he said it is Parisfinkle13"

Periwinkle18: " I am quite certain my name is Periwinkle18"

Afifa : "I am sorry sister, but that is not what Brother Woodrow said."


Soulja Girl: "We are going to go by what Brother Woodrow said, after all he is an Administrator."

BEARDO: "I smell Biryani, who brought it for me?"

Periwinkle18: "I did Brother." "Remember you promised to let me ask the Staff some questions if I brought Biryani for everyone."


BEARDO:[/B "Oh, that's right. What did you say your name is?"

WOODROW: "The sister's name is Permiwrinkle14"

Periwinkle18: "I am sorry to have to correct you sir, but my name is Perrie......something. Odd, I seem to have forgotten."

aamirsaab: "That is ok, Brother Woodrow Remembers what it is,"


Periwinkle18: "But, He keeps getting it wrong"

Entire Staff together: "Bro. Woodrow is never wrong, that is why he is an Admin."


Periwinkle18: "But...but....but"


WOODROW: "Sister Perijingle26 are you feeling ok, you are starting to sound strange."

Afifa : "The strain of being in the staff room is too much on Sister Permafrost42. She best return to the member's area and get some fresh air.


Periwinkle18: "I don't feel well. I'm getting out of here while I can still remember my name is Pe......what on earth is my name?"
