Anyway, Dan's absence wouldn't effect the community at all at this point. We have a fairly active forum, a youtube channel with all kinds of updates, and several projects being worked on! We are one mean machine! It would. None of us have thousands of viewers on Youtube. Dan has influence, and if we do want to change the world, we need influence.

That's our only issue. There aren't enough people willing to participate.

Elaborating sort of on what RabbitWho said...
I don't know why Dan needs to leave anyway. We're probably not going to get as much publicity if he does. That's one thing that keeps us alive. There's no reason it should be pulled out from under us.
There's nothing wrong with having him as our 'leader'. Even if he's just a Figurehead. We're the ones who really lead ourselves through projects and debates and upholding our values anyway. I don't think we need to prove our independence or anything. We're doing pretty awesome without much intervention from him.
Leading the tribe doesn't have to be much work for him anyway. I'm not going to pretend I know everything he's doing for us now - there's probably stuff behind the scenes we don't know about - but I don't think it has to be much effort being our Figurehead. The admins can do the running of the forums, including the Pogotoks etc and all he has to do is plug us now and then, maybe post occasionally. I know it's not fair to expect him to have a duty to us all his life but maybe something like that could work for everyone.
I dunno I'm just speculating but.. That's what I think.

Dan has a reason for leaving. We're going to have to learn to live without him. We pretty much do that right now, though. I don't see what the big deal is. =P

Leaving means he wouldn't be a leader of the forum anymore. He's not going to delete his account or something. xD

Oooh, what a community of thinkers we would be if all we relied and hoped on was the big D.A.N. It would be challenging to get a larger community... but that don't mean if the Almighty Dan died so would his dream xD TCH what a martyr.

I don't think we'll die, we'll just have to work harder. The SPoTM is no longer primarily DAN, if it ever was. It's us now, we lead it. Sure, he's our influence, but who says we can't be as awesome without him guiding us? We've got a structure, and it's awesome. Truthfully, only the future will tell

Six months in and we're discussing the tragic death of Dan #D Everyone listen to Shepley, he has his head in the right place.

Well I guess this was wrong. He's been gone for a while and we are still here xD
Sill, I wonder what will happen after the secret project...

To me, the tribe and Dan are separate but linked. We wouldn't drop off into nothing if we tried to stay together. We would be sad but surely we wouldn't just collapse. This isn't just a Dan fan board, it's an awesome-fueled board and one of the bonding factors between members is Dan. It's kind of like a Canada-Britain relationship. If Britain was gone, Canada would be all "wtf" but we would be able to help ourselves. Not saying that Dan/Britain are not needed, however.

I think we as a community COULD continue, but it's up to Dan to tell us whether he was us to continue his work, or as a community we would need to decide.
