Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Whoops, this one nearly slipped away! I caught it though. Here's a repost of all the answers people came up with (updated). Also, I've added the answers I had in mind originally that didn't surface, plus a few questions. These new additions are in red. And now purple. Nice work folks! Also since Randomizer seems to be keeping score, that's one point under the "Slarty completes a project?!?" category. 1. How many members can you name that were mods, were demodded, and later became mods again? Thurilith Dikiyoba Tyranicus Imban (he stepped down briefly in 2003) TM, Scorpius, Alec, Djur (I'm not sure, but I thought this applied to at least TM and possibly some of the others from the period at the start of 2002 when there was a lot of mod abuse in all senses of the phrase) 2. How many accounts can you name that had administrator status at some point in time? Spidweb Krizsan Drakefyre The Great Potato Stareye Zeviz Schrodinger 3. How many fictionalized deities and/or religions can you name that were publicly taken up by board personalities at some point? Richard White Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow Chicken Gods Dikiyoba Cthulhu Vahnatai Creationism Great Spider in the Sky Banjulhu (There must have been more... right?) 4. What about "artificial" languages developed on or alongside the forums? Nicothodes' and Sherbiebaby's language Novah Classical Slith Nephilian 5. How many canonical fluffy turtles, or other fluffy animals, can you name? Inspector Peanut Inspector Walnut Lampost (arguable) The fluffy kittens 6. How many longstanding RPs can you name? Balthazar the Mad World of Avernum Reloaded The Mountain of Shadows Legends of Divinity Down to Earth Silvar Inn New Silvar Inn Sands of Time Spidweb Cabin Tower of Babil Inn of Blades Drawbridges Zombie Attack Around the Universe Tavern Front Zombie Attack 2 Greywraith Clan Fall of the Star Clan Gethein Deludere World of Avernum Shattered Alliance Serendipity City Around the Human Body Valley of Thunder To Slay a Dragon The Empire Always Loses Spatula of Arthritis Mountain of Shadows The Vale No Hope for the Damned Here's to the Past I See the Signs of an End You Cannot Unring a Bell 7. What about AIMHack campaigns? Labyrinth Selos Blood Marsh Brigandine Dust Bowl Theressa CoH Rumors IiC Party of Three End of Days 8. Within the Spiderweb boards, how many specific forums can you name that can no longer be reached by natural means? (Note: forums that have been merged or split into other forums, e.g. Exile 2 into The Exile Trilogy, do not count.) Richard White Games (originally Galactic Core) Miscellaneous SubTerra Hints 9. How many current or former "satelite boards" can you name (boards created by Spiderweb members and adavertised to some portion of the membership here as another place to gather)? Shadow Vale Calamity Refuge Desperance Polaris The Club of All Overwhelming's BoA Forums RIFQ Blades Forge Encyclopedia Ermariana discussion forums (technically) The Lyceum Phoenix (?) Chance Forums Random Stupidity Wise Forums The Roost 10. How many Marathon-inspired custom titles (current or former, but I they're mostly gone now) can you name? Nuke and Pave (Zeviz) For Carnage, Apply Within (Sarachim) Lack of Vision (Zorro) Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! (Sir David) By Committee (Drew) Curiouser and Curiouser (Synergy) Electric Sheep One (SoT) E equals MC WHAT!! (Ash Lael) This Side Toward Enemy Post Naval Trauma (Khoth) Bob's Big Date (Alec) This Side Toward Enemy (Btl) One Thousand Slimy Things (Arctic) Shake Before Using (Imban) Metapfhor of Babylon (Slarty) 11. What about Lewis Carroll-inspired titles? Off With Their Heads (Kelandon)[/color] Curiouser and Curiouser (Synergy) Painting the Roses Red (Aran) Raven v. Writing Desk (Slarty) A Very Important Date (Aran) White Rabbit (Kelandon) 12. How many acronyms can you list that are, or were, regularly used on the boards? Acronyms that are everywhere (lol) don't count, but message board-specific acronyms that are used frequently here do. (EDIT: Okay, I'm modifying the acronyms question to specify "acronyms used as generic phrases" which should exclude most proper nouns.) FYT GIFTS GIFTR SDF PDN tl;dr 13. How many works of literature can you name that were posted — or that somebody attempted to post — in their entirity? The Communist Manifesto Das Kapital? The Aeneid The Treaty of Westphalia The Prose Edda Prologue to the Canterbury Tales (technically) The Kama Sutra 14. How many members can you name who spoke in the third person in every post, for some period of time? Dikiyoba Alorael Nalyd "Maimonides" Rowen Artemis 15. And finally, how many members can you name who created a topic to announce their permanent departure from the forums, only to return years, months, or days later? Synergy Alec (technically) Thurilith Djur TM (technically) Ed SMoE (?) Salmon (?) Slarty Speaking of which... nah, never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Oh man, now that I can see them, a LOT of those RPs are familiar. Inn of Blades, The Empire Always Loses, and Mountain of Shadows especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Some corrections: tl;dr is a common internet acronym (which you explicitly disallowed), so it shouldn't count. I ran an AIMhack for a little while about a year back before most of its participants either left the boards or were banned again- Twilight of the Imperium. I fail to see how "Mountain of Shadows" and "The Mountain of Shadows" can count as different RP's. Does having multiple threads make it count twice?

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Actually, I explicitly allowed "message board-specific acronyms that are used frequently here" -- tl;dr (and FYT) were in fact the inspiration for that line.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Iffy had a satellite board called The Roost for a short period of time. It died within a few months though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Almost all of them are preserved on Aran's PPP. I have links, in the potentially maybe questionably soon-to-be-almost-forthcoming history of the boards. Some lasted a very long time and others, not so long; most were from the 2003-2004 era.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We are at war with Eastasia. We've always been at war with Eastasia. And Tyran's been leading the charges all along. —Alorael, who suddenly finds himself wanting to add more mods, remove them, add them again, and remove them again. Technically speaking, they'd all count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
