FWIW, I initially joined up because I read BIP, and thought that was damned cool.

It was. It was kickass. We should do something like that again. I should do something like that, I wasn't around for BIP.

But Nigel has a good point. If I recall correctly, there was so much more fluff on this board around the time of BIP. I think it got people involved more, because it felt more like a community. There was lots of writing, sure, but it felt like yeah, you could be friends with these people. You could work with them. I kinda wish I could have been as mature then as I am now, because frankly, I was a shitposter as a noob. I caught flak from Roger all the time, and deserved it, and I reacted badly. Rather than standing up and being a biped, I stopped talking at all. And I had personal reasons for that, but I don't want to whine about it at the moment.

We just did, right out in the open and everything. It's called BIP 2013 and Dimo is working on the layout right now.

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

EDIT: If you'd like, Nigel, I could take up shitposting again. It'll be ugly, but maybe it could help. Having a terrible sense of humor is better than having none at all, I think.

Also, I haven't seen any talk of memetics on here in forever. Back when I showed up, those were like the entire focus of the board, to the point I could have sworn Discordia was less about chaos and more about the memespace, and using belief and subjectivity as a tool. Did everyone just decide it was icky and reeked of khaos mahdgickque, or did people just lose interest in it?

Cram left, and I started writing fiction.

Nothing wrong with memes.  It's still important stuff.  I just ran out of things to say.

Yeah, I remember that. I don't know how BIP was made, because it's what brought me to this board, but BIP  2013 didn't feel very open. It had its own little subforum, it seemed a bit official to me. There was probably a good reason for it, but it turned me off the project personally. I didn't think I had anywhere near what it took to contribute. This is starting to feel like ineffectual whining to me, though. Nothing more than complaints of my own personal weakness.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

You need to come out to Tucson, and punch me in the face a few times while Knuckles holds my arms.  That would fix you right the fuck up.

Yes, the reason is "so whatever poor schmuck volunteers to do pre-press can easily find everything".

YOU FUCKERS NEVER LISTEN.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KILL ME.  I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT NOW FOR 11 GODDAMN YEARS, ALMOST.

Does anyone NOT get this idea?  Is this a little too complex?

IF THE GOOD REVEREND DOKTOR ROGER HOWL GETS IN YOUR WAY, KILL HIM.

FUCK'S SAKE.

You're the second person to be all I FELT EXCLUDED BECAUSE NOBODY HELD MY HAND AND MADE ME SUBMIT WORK FOR PUBLICATION. I really don't understand how being expected to actually pony up and do the marginal amount of work to identify and post a piece of your own writing in the submissions area is exclusionary, but one thing I've noticed about people is that they will use any excuse to blame others for their inaction or lack of accomplishment, however thin it may be.

But if it the wish of the Good Doktor Roger Reverend Howl to be removed so as to further the enpoompenment of the masses, then why shouldst I allow him to dictate upon this subject to do such things in the manner of which he is obliged towards. Does that not in fact go counter to the very idea of slaying the Roger Doktor Reverend Howl Good for being in my way? Why canst I merely run around him in a most dizzying manner because the vertical, the wango and the tomohawks are but unabstractions of the sea of gelatin swirling with cotton ducks and burlap clocks.

Project board. Hmm.

I wonder if I can submit something to this project.
