It’s the year 2087, message boards no longer exist. Now we inhabit virtual board rooms where clubbers share their night outs via various flow charts and holographic images. Members now represented by various avatars dressed in luminous bodysuits walking around swapping music implants. Sitting on a chez lounge today is someone wearing the “Smallman” avatar, a g-string ensemble favoured by some of the more risqué members, a nod to a message board legend of yore. Also available is the “Flares” avatar. It resembles a turd but is in fact an all brown get up that comes free when you download the app. Today though this avatar is actually Flares. Now in his late 90s and kept alive with wires and cables, he’s boring the shite out of all the teenagers about “back in the day’”. Nobody pays any attention. He is considered a bug in the system that everyone walks around and avoids.
