Geesh, I go away for a few months, and come back to find 7, maybe 8 active topics! What's happening? Where are the pointless discussions, the brawls, the Darwinism Theory being practiced on the bars?

I know this place has the potential to succeed, mostly because I um..."borrowed" most of the ideas here to make Cythera the happy community it is today. Posted Image

Its what you want to put your minds to, and yes Mag, I know I'm sounding like your school teacher, you don't need to remind me. Posted Image

I know the Officer's Club was never very active, but only six topics???

Heck, that's where the most useful ideas came from. Posted Image

Er, is it relative, or does it it seem to me that there are eight, (that's 8 for those of us who speak in symbols) live topics here...
Ya having trouble with your maths Avatara...

Actually, this brings to mind the famous uncertainty principle, as applied here to web boards, specifically the Ares web board (but generally applicable to any web board I suppose)(this has nothing to do with cats by the way, black or otherwise, whether they be in boxes or outside), as it is a "live" forum, one can never be sure just how many topics are alive or not alive at any given point, this is always assuming that the therm "live" has been accurately defined for a given set of variables (...you with me so far, oh good), in this case the degree of traffic within a certain topic on a certain web board (the aforementioned Ares Web board for those of you who have just come in). How do we know when a topic actually becomes "dead", or in this case not "alive", relatively speaking. (As a tangental thought here, how do we know that Joveia is not in actual fact the Count in disguise? He may in fact be the Count just until the fraction of an instant before he posts a particular point, or he may not be, as the case may be... But can we ever be sure...? Ever since that brain transplant he has been... not entirely the Count. (What exactly is a Joveia anyway? Somebody from Jupiter perhaps, but can we be sure?). Perhaps the Count is in fact Joveia in disguise, or perhaps neither of them is in fact the other.) Er, where was I, oh yes, can we calculate the probability that a particular topic is at any moment active, alive, or dead, and at what point does a "live" topic become a "dead" one? What is the probability that a particular topic may receive a reply from someone at a given moment in time in relation to the similar (but entirely different and absolutely unrelated) probability that another equally innocent topic may in fact also receive a reply at, before, after, or (and here's the true uncertainty...) instead of that first mentioned (entirely theoretical here of course) topic.
Hmmm, nope, doesn't make any sense to me either... Now, I wonder what the probability is that I'll get served within two days in the bar is. I hear they have just received a new batch of Greenyblue Stuff lately...

Not sure, but I hear he's Laguna's worst nightmare.

And Lord Commander Anic, I counted the number of topics that showed up with the default "display topics from the last 20 days." Of course, posting this topic increased that number by one, hence the statement:

Laguna also seems to be the only regularly active mod, Sargatanus comes here not anymore. As for Sundered Angel, I guess he doesn't post much because there isn't a lot of activity, but that's backwards logic.

When the days is dropped to 5, the count is even sadder: 6. I'm not counting Cheese Philosophy; I don't remember why I started that one.

At least it doesn't change for two days. (not counting CP)

Last day leves us with 3 topics–SJD, Trash Talk Bar, and this one.

Sad.

Officer's Club is worse? This is worse than I thought…maybe Talon Karrde was right.

As far as I can figure it out, the Avara board remains dormant for weeks or months until some crazed Avaraite crawls out of the woodwork to start a three day flame war and then it quiets back again.
