Sciforums Daily Soap Diary

• The almost neo-electoral process (described gently as a junta by superstring01) completes and prompts trots out the unimaginable for "New Mod" of Freigedanken: another Dutchman. Unable to make the proper associations, the crowd cheers. Someone else wins the coveted position of dusting off the Fine Arts subforum now and again, thwarting the efforts of another would-be dictator. Well, that's democracy for you, and also juntaism. Enmos is grudgingly congratulated, even as his eventual downfall is immediately begun to be plotted.

Sam ploughs forward in the usual vein, pulling a rope-a-dope on the major issues (can't say it doesn't work) while Bishadi locates his inner navel and Hype mystifies all with modern philosophies on Iraq and Americanism. Draq claims Onstar can see under his tin foil hat and the Riddle of Mutation is again attacked in the ongoing effort to find God there. Flying rays, Stargate and two obscure countries in the Middle East, oh my. [Nov 1, 2009]

• The usual slog. But wait! What's this? Near-elections are announced for the positions of Free Thoughts and some other sub-forum. ...fine, fine: Arts and Crap, ok? Happy now?

Anyway: GeoffP and some other candidates announce their near-electability and gently bickering electionism breaks out in this stunning lean towards a democratic process. Well, I say democracy: if democracy were subject to post-approval by a junta of giggling madmen. Still, junta gently onward. GeoffP illustrates his superior candidacy and a well-laid out and irrefutable platform; the rest of the lot prattle on about fairness and good judgement. Whatever. Mike47 returns from the early grave, someone is banned for 92 days (sockie, sockie) and Buff and Sam batter each other. Condition: Orange.

• A new trend strikes SciForums: Star Trek vs. {fill in the appropriate hypothetical civilization). Nerdlings eagerly pick up their cardboard broadswords and battle to the first ragged inhaler puff for the honour of entire universes that don't actually exist. I suppose someone somewhere is proud.

The main battles now crystallize around whether Iran has nukes, or should have nukes, or are trying to have nukes, or whether anyone should have nukes, or ahh I can't care any more. Everyone nuke everyone then. The other one is a rehash of exactly how many people - principally Jews but in theory everyone - died in the Holocaust. I'm certain the real issue is whether or not it was 6,000,000 or 6,000,001. And mods battle it out over whether or not Charlie Rangel was different to every other politician on the face of the earth. It's been said before, but while politicians can dodge taxes, none of them seems deft enough to avoid the office skank. And, Egypt has officially banned the hymen. Too late, boys: experience counts, and your wives will have had it by the time they get to you.

• The dogs bark and the forum rolls on. "Mike47" (natch) cries "Ban me, you big meanie! I double dog dare you!" and is promptly gunned down, to no one's real surprise. Oh: and has no one mentioned that one_raven came back?? Having put aside his wife in a convent for electro-gothic Nuns, he returns bearing no gifts and little trolling. The sock puppet incarnation of a heinous ex-Forumer...Forumser?...SciForist?...troll was also banned at last, having run his time out. My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today. At least until the next round of this devious game of cat-and-monkey. Who will throw the poo first? Sandy also makes a Lazarene play, much to the delight/horror of many on both sides of every conceivable politicized opinion...which appears to be all opinions. Who next shall return from beyond the grave? Xev? Genji? The chimp who used to post Photoshopped pictures of leaning people? What will you do, when next the dead arise? (But at least the hit count would be up.) [Sept 30/2009]

• Two days into the Return of the Living Banned and the Middle Eastern content is still below 10% on a post-by-post basis. <bang bang> What's going on? Is this thing broken? <bang bang> [Sept 28/2009]

• Geoff is banned for three days, but Sniffy observes that his crypt is empty. He rises again within a single day. Or else Fraggle relents. Who cares about the details, anyway? [Sept 26/2009]

• Sam returns, and the outraged poo-throwing begins to slide steadily away from ACORN, Obamanoia/Obanomics/Obamophilia towards the alternate axis of inevitably pointless contention known as the Middle East. Smell the fresh air of change. It's like coming home. If home were made of arguments constructed of dung. [Sept 25/2009]

• The average daily number of posts on Israel/the Middle East/Americans/Lizardoids drops from dozens to one or two. The silence is deafening. Instead, ACORN appears to be the new rallying point for complete disrespect and rageposting. [Sept 15/2009]

• The Encyclopedia is under attack by spiders and wallbots. No one notices; possibly because of difficulties in differentiating the spam from the other spam. [Sept 11/2009]

• S.A.M. is banned for trolling (14 days), and a Google spike for "how to take a screenshot in Windows" occurs. [Sept 11/2009]

• Domesticated Om uses his newly granted Wiki admin powers to finally eliminate the remaining Spuriousforum-logos from the Science encyclopedia (sigh). If you need me to delete or protect a page. Let me know in my user_talk page. Domesticated om 18:41, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

• SciForums continues to be flooded with shoe-oriented spam. Domesticated om

• SciForums encyclopedia is being frequented by yet another bot Domesticated om 08:48, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
