if you have a link to whatever it is you brought up, please post it...and, if it's not true, make a fake website and post the link to that -not back with a vengeance, more like a dull thud followed by a scared wave- | |||

Julian Assange is the founder of Wikileaks. Wikileaks leaked some information on the war, which upset the pentagon. Then, suddenly, a rape charge was filed against him. People were wondering whether to bring out their tinfoil hats or whether it was simply a coincidence. ------------------- Blog: Room with a view. ~You are a *Taverner*.

I once participated in a short but extremely trenchant backchannel e-mail discussion on, get this, the nature of thread drift on WebBBS forums. Other participants included a veteran beat cop from a large US city, a fairly successful novelist and essayist, and (I think) an astronomer/physicist. The outcome was, we decided that the opportunity for thread drift itself was reason enough to continue using the WebBBS forum architecture the forum owner had been intending to ditch for vBulletin. With benefit of hindsight, I think that speaking up in that chain of e-mails may end up being the most significant, far-reaching thing I'll ever do with pixels.  | |||

So what was the difference between the BBS forum and the vBulletin? Woulnd't hijacking be possible on the latter? ------------------- Blog: Room with a view. ~You are a *Taverner*.

The chiefest difference, dear lady, is the shape of the drift. In simple terms, vBulletin looks a lot like this platform we're on here, and only permits vertical stacking of off-topic comments. No drift per se. Like inserting discs of lead into a club sandwich. Basic off-topic goonery. WebBBS permits drift that looks like tree branches. The opportunity for conversations to branch off, mutate, and evolve is latent. It's also immediately visible. vBulletin is a floodlit panel discussion, whereas WebBBS is a cocktail party with Rohypnol hors d'oeuvres. | |||

Apart from the fact my coffee just came out of my nose.... Thanks for the explanation. And now i'm stuck with this feeling that we (at WE) *need* WebBBS. ------------------- Blog: Room with a view. ~You are a *Taverner*.

Some, if not most, of the regulars here would thrive in that architecture. I'm seeing your Shift threads, writ fractally. | |||

That was a bad attempt at formatting. It was meant to be a Mandelbrot set (and also, incidentally, my favorite mathematical equation.)

ok, i've got to ask, because i my feeble brain has yet to figure out on it's own what it means (and well, i'm pretty sure when i do find out, i'll feel quite stupid for not being able to figure it out on my own) but what does ETA mean, as in your post punkyfins, "Eta: I'm not the only one with a favorite mathematical equation am i? [sub]Am i?[/sub}" -not back with a vengeance, more like a dull thud followed by a scared wave- | |||

Mathematicians probably don't have them. I only have one because i'm bad at math. People who study humanities get to have favorite mathematical equations.

Actually hijacking the hijacking thread is somewhat of an iteration. Very meta. ------------------- Blog: Room with a view. ~You are a *Taverner*.
