Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Monroe Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, it's actually the strong force, but the physicists describe it best. 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.

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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!

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah, this community is pretty cool.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 No, they don't refer to "us" at all.

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.

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. 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 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.

Kyshakk Koan cfgauss Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 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 .

Unflappable Drayk Drezin Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Spidweb doesn't seem to have changed much in my eyes (though I'm not around much).

I mean really gone? When did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 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.
