BOLAR TODO
In the early days of social networking, there used to be a simple console network client called "FLaP." Users could chat with each other, write profiles, and post content of any nature. It was like a wiki, but with no pictures and no narrow focus. It was shut down in August 1993, a year after its creation, when its population dwindled to a single user of unknown identity. Due to the circumstances of its shutdown, relevant government bureaucracies did all in their power to eliminate all evidence of its existence. Below are the preserved records of its final moments.

These records were taken from the young man's large, archaic computer, which was still active when it was found. In the interest of energy conservation, it was turned off after the data's extraction. Traces of blood were found on the monitor, but a matching body was never identified.
The officer who supplied me with this information claims that as he was reaching to shut down the computer, another message appeared on the screen. His finger hit the power button before he could see what the message was.
