Spiderwebber for life.

[Spddin Ignis]

After taking a short time off from Spiderweb, I've checked out a few other forum, and after a while I realized that there is no place like home. I don't think it'll ever be easy to find a forum with such a tight-knit community such as the one we have here. Comments?

[nikki.]

I sincerely hope I leave within the next 6 months; I've been here too long as it is.

[Sudanna]

Quit lying, Nik.

 

SW has been my first video games, my first forum (My first internet site at all, actually), and my homepage for as long as I've been here (What, six years? Since I was nine? Sounds right). I love the place, despite not being an active or memorable part of the community. It's been one of the most influential things in my life, if only because it's been a constant presence through the years leading up to who I am today, which could be good or bad. I prefer to think of it as a good thing.

 

I love this place, anyways, and always will.

[Monroe]

You know, I feel the same way Spddin. You guys might not realize it, but I've been quite the fan of y'all for a long, long time. Oh, and the games are nice, too.

[Alorael at Large]

Spiderweb is sitting in the very nice population size where it isn't an entirely closed, self-referential, too tightly knit community, but you still can and should know everyone by sight. Or, well, whatever passes for sight on the internet.

 

I'm sure others have different size thresholds, and they tend to gravitate to the ideal boards of those sizes, but I'm a fan of Spiderweb's size.

 

—Alorael, who supposes that it might even be the preponderance of scientists that keep this place together. Okay, it's actually the strong force, but the physicists describe it best.

That's the beauty of it. On the internet, nobody can tell if you're really human.

I believe Dikiyoba and I already proved that you lot weren't human.

[The Ratt]

If I remember correctly, people who say they are girls are really men, and the people that say they are men are actually kids. Could be wrong though.

I love spiderweb and i think it has a perfict size, closeness, extra

in fact I spend more time on this fourm than playing any of Jeffs games,

or any other game.

Sadly, this may be true for all of us...

No, the strong force only operates over the short distances within the nucleus. The strength of the force is inversely proportional to the operational distance.

Gravity is needed to operate over the far flung distances between members or maybe electromagnetism because we are using the Internet.

I'm still seeing Bart Simpson using static electricity to power his computer during a blackout.

[VCH]

The spiderweb forums are rather strange.

[Alorael at Large]

[Edit: This was originally clever, but it failed somewhere.]

 

—Alorael, who considers Spiderweb one little atom. All its users quirks can be quarks. Maybe gimmicks are gluons.

[Swimmin' Salmon]

I miss TM.

[Callie]

This is what happens when you surrender your sanity.

[inni]

who is TM?

 

and for the record i didn't surrender my sanity, i left it at the door.

[Ouroboros]

Terror's Matyr or something like that

[Goldengirl]

TM obliterates newbies who don't know their place with devastating one liners, scathing exposes about his relationship with your mother, and inspired personal attacks. TM laughs at the moderators, and spits on the Code of Conduct. TM has made Blades scenarios of epic scope, whose intricate plots cannot be matched by any of this generation of posters.

 

But, oh, you silly newbies. TM never truly was; he's just a myth that all of the veterans of the board tell to the newcomers to keep them in place. Be careful, or TM will get you!

[Avarakadavra]

About the mens and girls... Im...not a men,not yet. I'm a boy and i have 16 years. But about others... Who knows...

Only community I frequent, online or otherwise.

 

Thank you, SW, for makng me even more socially awkward.

[Lord Safey]

Mostly lurk and only occasionally post I find a lot of the threads here interesting but find myself to lacking too contribute much. Although I usually drag myself out for the occasional rp

Watch.

[Xaiya]

I find myself on the CalRef chat much more than this place. I'll, like, forget about this place and not check it for a while. Actually, I'm not entirely sure why I still check this place. It's not like there's anything here for me anymore.

Actually, no.

Someone telling you about an enlightening conversation he/she just had with a park bench, that's strange. If you think there's a tree stalking you, that's strange.

The Spiderweb forums are normal.

[Rowen]

Whats so strange about having an enlightened conversation with a park bench? It beats having a stupid conversation with someone else.

The real question is what this has to do with Richard White. And did you see him die yesterday?

[Artemis~]

Yeah, this community is pretty cool. Type in Jeff Vogel on Wikipedia, and they refer to us as a "sarcastic community," or something like that. I spend more time here reading posts than I should, but I don't really reply much nowadays.

 

Oh, and Spddin would like a straw to suck his first post up with. Hinthint.

 

~Artemis and forums. Each forum has the same type of people in it. And a couple of weirdos sprinkled on top. Yay, stereotypes!

[Slawbug]

No, they don't refer to "us" at all. They refer to Jeff's personal site, Irony Central, which doesn't even link to these forums even though it shares a server with them.

[Artemis~]

Oh. That makes sense. Do I have to take my giggle back?

 

~Artemis and making sense. What is this sense I speak of?

I do not think that is possible to do, even if someone knows what a reversed giggle is.

(And Bok Choy is a leafy green vegetable similar to lettuce grown in Asia which is very rich in Iron.)

Either you don't like playing SW games anymore, or this is a fairly sad indictment of the state of affairs on this site.

I spent an entire night playing Geneforge 4, and enjoying it quite a bit.

I guess I've just lost interest here, since not much goes on here that's interesting to me.

People have been saying that Spiderweb is nothing like it used to be. It seems that I had joined near the end of it's prime, according to what people have said. As for the 2008 and 2009ers, even later.

But the strong force increases linearly with distance! What else could hold things so tightly together? Well, unless you pull them too far apart then you get pair production... and unless you're in a quark gulon plasma, then there's Debye screening, of course... and then there's the jets and hardonization to worry about...

Or maybe we're held together by the analog of the strong force for the case of N=4 SYM, which is like QCD but with no confinement? Yes, yes, that must be it...

What were we talking about again?

[Student of Trinity]

The quark confining force of QCD increases linearly with distance. The 'strong nuclear force' is a force between color-neutral objects; it is to QCD what the van der Waals force is to the Coulomb attraction. It's described quite well in an effective theory as being mediated by pions, and because they're massive, it decays exponentially with distance.

[cfgauss]

Yeah, but the confining force is also called the strong force. The yukawa / pion exchange force is a "residual strong force" interaction. This is one of those many exciting "you will know which one I mean by context" things in physics .

We can always bring it back. Or at least make an attempt

[waterplant]

I'm glad that Spiderweb isn't like it was as I like it as it is now. Spiderweb's best days are ahead (or at least it's relevant days are now and onwards). Nostalgia comes in many different dreamy colours...

At 7:48 AM Yesterday...

Not even 24 hours, Ackrovan. For shame!

 

Anyway, the only definitive reason I come back here is for AIMHack. Note the 'definitive'; I'm sure I'd still be bouncing around here if AIMHack didn't exist.

[Acky]

I was acutally joking around, but since you have laid the challenge in front of me, I must accept.

 

And as a bonus, I won't even be at the Refuge.

 

Starting....now!

[Xaiya]

Pfft, like you're ever at CalRef anyways.

[Drezin]

Spidweb doesn't seem to have changed much in my eyes (though I'm not around much). A lot of the names have changed but I reckon many of the old members are still around. Alorael's icon and sig are obvious but I'm curious who else still kicks it around here.

 

Also TM is gone? I mean really gone? When did that happen?

[Slawbug]

Three and a half years ago.

 

Few of the really old members are around. The only ones who post regularly are Alorael and Thuryl; there are others who are around every so often, like Stareye. But the vast majority of everyone who was here before 2006 or 2007 is gone.
