As a user and ex-admin of this site I can wholeheartedly verify the mess that is the hierarchy system of The Next Incantation. I remember the oldest days, before it was self hosted and I remember that it had held promise for a small group of people to have a good time and write, chat and make good friends. That was lost when two people were ousted by Shadow - her two right hand men.
I have fond memories of the place, but it's run its course and devolved under Shandow's tyranny.
