Baltic dry index
so I hate to always be the doom and gloom poster here, but someone please prove me wrong this time. heres the situation as I understand it. the BDI collapsed last week(ish) which means no goods are coming into the united states at all. the US has 30 days of food reserves. if the BDI does not start back up soon people will starve. someone please tell me why Im wrong.

An idea on a filibuster...
This message board holds 50 topics. There is no mechanism to shut down a topic. If someone was to open 50 new topics would that clear the board and wash away those threads where there have been hundreds of messages to no avail but aggravation of one another?

I feel like that's the sort of thing that would get most users banned for spamming.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Agreed, but the damage would be done. I only hope Kestas has a way to undo it should that happen.
valoishapsburg (314 D)
03 Jan 09 UTC
yes, it would do the job. Hopefully, unlike the filibuster, it will never be used.

the nice/possible bad thing about threads is that they often prompt new questions not originally addressed in prompt.

lol wow... i had never thought of this before... unfortunately we have people crazy enough on this site to actually do this... i fear you may have just done the equivalent of broadcasting bomb-making techniques on TV, Edi.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)

However, the database keeps the threads, so it could be restored. (I believe)
Thucydides (864 D(B))
03 Jan 09 UTC
Perhaps on April Fools' Day Kestas should restore some very old threads, like back from the ranting days of Pandora... or even earlier. That would be very interesting indeed.

that would be hilarious
I'd love to see all the people who thought that Pandora was the "new" Sicarius.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

yeah i remember when sicarius was the fringe one that made of a fool of himself compared to pandora..

he's matured, of course

Sic's anarchist girlfriend. =)

I think she was the first to start posting her anarchist thoughts here, and Sicarius joined in. She stopped playing here though... but we still have Sic!

Wait, doesn't Sicarius post from a computer in a public library provided and maintained by the state he seeks to eliminate...?

Everytime I read anarchist, my brain sees antichrist...
Chrispminis (916 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
I do agree with Edi though. Some measure would be helpful. I know that people used to do this in games if they accidentally posted confidential information in the global tab.

It would be useful as a moderator if I could delete and/or freeze threads... especially ones that really are pointless and just end up as flamewars.
Zilph (100 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
Well, it would probably be possible to just replace the site's forum system wholesale with PHPBB3, which would let you do any damn thing you wanted, but I'm reluctant to suggest that as I'm nowhere near the programmer it would take to integrate that with the existing system.
Chrispminis (916 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
I have a feeling that will eventually happen, especially as our numbers increase. Hopefully we'll be in a good position to appoint more moderators to deal with more people.
Chrispminis (916 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
But seriously, there are probably less than 100 active forum posters, and 30 of them probably do most of the talking. At least that's my guess.
Zilph (100 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
That's about what I'm seeing. It certainly isn't a big deal, at least not for now.
Sirither (100 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
I remember an incident involving a multiaccounter who kestas caught... he created several new accounts and spammed the forum in an attempt to sabotage the site. The threads were deleted and the damage undone fairly quickly, although I don't recall whether we lost threads at the bottom of the forum or not.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
05 Jan 09 UTC
All the old threads are still saved in the database Sirither, they just aren't displayed on the page. Oh, and you wouldn't have to restore the database completely. Whilst I don't think a GUI has been written for it, a site owner (in this case obviously Kestas) can delete threads manually from the database.

I would like to see my parody of the essay Pandora once copied pasted back up to the top. I enjoyed writing that alot.

Draw the game
Look - I've played enough on here that I don't think it's outragreous with the amount of evidence I've show that this game should be drawn and thant the two player "demonicchik" and "chumpster" should be investigated. I think the latter is clearly the "brains" for what it's worth where the former didn't understand simple game play. I think the game 10h, 22 points to play, PPSC should be drawn.

toward a better forum experience
It sure would be nice to have a more traditional forum - then maybe all the flame threads could go in their own little flame category so the rest of us could use the forums for their intended purposes.

Variant Game!!!
Hey everyone, I have a fun variant game to join! The variant is: No Metagaming! I figure since the rules "don't say it's not allowed blah blah blah" I'll make it a rule of this game, so it's officially cheating if you metagame in this game. Please, talkers only. 101 points, PPSC, 24-hour turns. http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7757

Anyone interested in a game?
I was hoping for a 101-point PPSC game with turns in the 24-48 hour range... anyone interested? I'd appreciate talkers, the game is sort of lame when nobody says anything.

Last time I tried to start the game there wasn't enough interest, but if 6 other people want in I'll start it up.
