technically, Old gods don't do anything if no one is around. They mostly drive us mere mortals mad by their presence, or eat us. If no one is there they can't do either of those. Therefore it cannot destroy a forum

The question of a generation.

I'd say the answer is probably. Old gods just have too much power to control. Sucks for that poor random forum that just crashed for no reason though.

Perhaps

Considering how many threads have been bumped and summoning spells crafted with no events following, I think it's safe to say old gods can't do shit, with or without people around.

@Hibiki
Well that depends, did the people who tried it go through with the necessary prerequisites?

It was some pretty haphazard summoning I'd say. Not really any real heart or thought put into it.

The old gods are powerless
accept it

@Hibiki
they crashed the forum three times nerd

Coincidence.

@Hibiki
Could a coincidence be that it stopped only after Mothman (praise be him and his soul) stepped in?
