Address delivered at General Discussion, Septemeber 20, 2010
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our forum.

2 and a half years ago, a great teenager, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, created nextgenupdate.com. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to thousands of nerds, who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But two years later, the newfag still is not free. 2 and a half years later, the life of the newfag is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. 2 and a half years later, the newfag lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. 2 and a half years later, the newfag is still languished in the corners of NGU society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense we’ve come to our website's capital to cash a check. When the admins of our website wrote the magnificent words of the forum rules, they were signing a promissory note to which every user was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, newfag men as well as white men, would be guaranteed to the “Unalienable Rights of Hacks, Glitches, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It is obvious today that NGU has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her users are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, NGU has given the newfag a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this website. And so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of hacks and the security of justice. We have also come to his hallowed spot to remind NGU of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of playing CoD or to take the tranquilizing drug of marijuana. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of booster justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of newfag injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of Outsider's children. It would be fatal for the website to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the newfag's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Two-thousand-ten is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the newfag needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the website returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in NGU until the newfag is granted his user rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our website until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my users, who stand on the warm threshold, which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful infractions. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the highest plain of dignity and discipline.

We must not allow our creative process to degenerate into getting infracted. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy, which has engulfed the newfag community, must not lead us to a distrust of all moderators, for many of our newfag brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make a pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who ask in the devotees of user rights, when will you be satisfied? We can never be satisfied as long as the newfag is the very victim of the unspeakable horrors of moderator brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the newfag's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our users are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by threads stating "for premiums only." We cannot be satisfied as long as the newfag in Mississippi cannot post and the Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to post. No, no, we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until “justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from temporary bans. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for hacks left you battered by the storms of moderation and staggered by the winds of admins brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to post with the faith that unearned negative rep is redemptive. Go back to General Discussion, go back to MW2 General, go back to Site Suggestions, go back to GFX, go back to MW2 Exploits and Hacks, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern forums, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my newfags, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Newfag dream. I have a dream that one day this website will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all users are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of NGU the 1337's and the newfags will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the sub-forum of General Discussion, a sub-forum sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my NGU children will one day post in a website where they will not be judged by the color of their username and rep count but by the content of their posts. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day down in NGU, with its vicious power-abusing moderators, with its admins having his lips dripping with the words of “banhammer” and “donate to become premium”, one day right down in General Discussion little newfag boys and girls (lady) will be able to join hands with little moderator boys and girls (just kidding there are now girl mods) as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every forum shall be exalted, the rough places will be made plain and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of Outsider shall be revealed, and all users shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to General Discussion with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our website into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to post together, to laugh together, to hack together, to +rep together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day, when all of Gobbles's children will be able to post with new meaning: My NGU, 'tis of thee', sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father's (and birds) died, land of the newfag's pride,
From every sub-forum side, let freedom ring!
And if NGU is to be a great website, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of General Discussion.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of MW2 Hacks and Exploits.
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Site Suggestions.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of Mw2 General Discussion.
But not only that: Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Site Announcements.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Forum Help.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Featured News.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every sub-forum and every section, from every thread and every post, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Outsider's children, newfags and moderators, Premiums and Non Premiums, DDO crew and Dopeys crew, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual:
Free at last! (Yes) Free at last!
Thank Gobble Almighty, we are free at last.
