User blog:Coconutrules/The Great Escape (Not Migration!)

Back in 2005, there was The Great Migration, where current owners of a LEGO ID could upgrade to the newer version of LEGO.com with their newer, improved LEGO ID. A lot of accounts were lost because of this even, because of various glitches. The majority of the people who lost an account made a new one, or just disappeared forever.

HALF RIGHT. HALF WRONG.

A few months ago the third of my most trusted sources found an important piece of evidence proving that The Great Migration was actually titled The Great Escape. An old moderator, named ReekPiv76, who retired a year after The Great Escape and was hired two years BEFORE The Great Escape reasoned to be interviewed with my third most trusted source. Here is the interview.

We will address my source as JS, and ReekPiv76 as M

JS: So tell me, why was The Great Migration called The Great Escape instead?

M: There were lots of glitches....not destroying the forums but causing many computers to get a virus and causing some users to lose their accounts.

JS: This was not any hacker business, right?

M: Of course not. Back then, our site was too "under the radar" and scarcely populated to actually have any hackers, although I will admit one or two eventually came by.

JS: So you're saying the workers for LEGO, the LEGO.com desginers had to work quickly to move on forward because, as you have stated, it was falling apart?

M: No, no, no. Well, the last part was true, but the LEGO.com designers were already working on a newer LEGO.com. They just had to speed up the process.

JS: How long did it take you to finally start The Great Escape?

M: About five weeks, and we left the old trainwreck. That's what we call the old version of LEGO.com.

JS: Well, thank you for your time. I have to run now.

M: You're welcome. I have to go help my wife clean up. Good luck on your travels.

Anyways, M later got a job as a manager for Airplane parts.

Recap: The Great Escape, not The Great Migration, was a last ditch plan to save the collapsing LEGO.com.

If you're just gonna post a sarcastic comment, don't bother, please.
