Leaving after all games are finished

Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be leaving webdip after all my ongoing games are finished. Some already know, but I wanted to put it out there so everyone knows the reason I am not participating in Mafia or live games any longer.

Good physics interview

I suspect the following interview with eminent cosmologist George Ellis (coauthor with Stephen Hawking of "The Large-Scale Structure of Spacetime") is so good that it will be enjoyed even by those who suspect I am linking it only because of his religious views.

I go away for one weekend...

What the hell happened, guys? Is Draug actually gone, or is he just "gone" like usual? Do I need to pretend to miss Fasces? Did we lose anyone else? Is it all 2WL's fault?

So, this is really stupid (unless I misunderstand)

Please correct me if I'm wrong: Fasces just got banned for "revealing" a feature of a freely downloadable free software package.

A Farewell To Draugnar

This is meant as a farewell to one of my oldest friends on the site. In the over 5 years we knew each other, we played in many games together (when he managed to get above 0

) and got in countless arguments. He had many flaws and was the single biggest headache to deal with out of anyone while I was a mod, but he will be missed.

Reduced sentence because of large contribution.

I won't pretend that I thought of this out of nowhere, I won't even pretend to be able to objectively judge the situation, but I want to mention an option and a potential policy change that could be better for everyone. It's a compromise. In Draugnar's case, I propose taking his medal and/or keeping him banned for a few months or perhaps even a year as a sentence, but letting him come back after that. He's not like blankflag. He contributed in many ways.

So Draugnar advocates for older moderators due to their greater maturity, then immediately (and not for the first time) throws a hissy fit that would have made an eight year old me go, "Dude, grow up."

2wl,

I agree that it's too bad that we've arrived at a point where clear forum rules may be necessary, but let's be clear why that is -- it's not because users are worse than they ever were, or because we want them more than ever; it's because the mods have suddenly decided to start enforcing a bunch of apparently unwritten rules very rigidly, and written rigid rules are better than unwritten rigid rules. I totally agree that no (or almost no) rules would be better.

You say that the forum evolved over time to require this, and single out Draug as an example. That's ironic, because little has been more constant on this forum than Draug, hissy fits and rants included.

Anyway, you say that the forum is the main cause of users leaving. I'll ask again, as many have before: what is the evidence for this? Is it anecdotal? Rigorously collected? What, exactly, is the source for this claim? Thank you.
