I will just make one point. You've not met these people, and you have no proof that they exist, let alone knowing them well enough to tell me what 'they' are like.

Lets take Obama for instance, I've heard him speak, I've seen him on TV. He is not a friendly do gooder like he wants everyone to believe. Quite the contrary, he is corrupt, he has a lot of power, and he is not afraid to flex his muscle on the world.

Chris told me something that I'd wondered about but hadn't had the sense to ask him if it were possible. Essentially he would let us create a group, accepting whichever members we would have in it who applied, that would have its own message board. The board could either be totally unaccessible to non-members or read-only for everyone who was not a member. This, it seems to me, would have some advantages: a familiar format (we'd just have to change '2605' and Chris, not me, would be the root admin for starters. We'd have to figure out a method for letting latecomers in, but I'd personally suggest that the initial membership be open to anyone who has been at CP for 6 months and who wasn't Ilion or CSS or that idiot who tried to dominate the lounge for awhile. I'm going to post this message on the new site, as well.

Wouldn't that essentially be something like a google/yahoo group? So why not sue those services and free CP of all the database space for the Soapbox.

This movie is bad ass, even better than Lord of the Rings. (A great film)[^]

Ah! The competition begins for the Passive-Aggressive Pussy-Man crown. Goodness! You'd better get that crown quick, DryRot, lest Mr Graus use you as a scratching-post and whittle you down to a splinter.
It's amusing to me that you presume that Oakman and myself give a damn what someone like you thinks or has to say about us.

You brought it up as an example of something that would affect me, something i should find interesting. It won't, and i don't. I'm not saying i like it, any more than i liked finding out about the secret boxes they installed in phone exchanges a few years back... But trust me - if you're concerned about your privacy, then you need to re-adjust your focus. They don't need the NSA to watch you. Your friends, neighbors, and associates will do the job for them. They don't need to intercept your emails, phone calls, messages... You'll contact them directly, without even realizing it. They won't need a carefully-constructed mountain of evidence to convict you; you'll confess willingly. It's happening all around you, and has been for years...

Oh man, I can imagine him shaking in bed late at night, pissing himself with fear. You just rocked his world Shog and most likely scared both the living and dead shit right out of him! :laugh:

Try finding words to express what you think rather than running out to the web to be told what you think.
That is not what I do, I run out to the web to find information. Watching someone speak in real-time is more informative as you not only get the words, you get the emotions of the person speaking. Back to the point, the video I posted a link with the time of reference in the video, was meant to be a short 10 second demonstration, not an explanation.

I find it hilarious that the two of them have been running around clucking about this with post after post after post. Did you get my email last night?

Chris offered to work me through setting it up and a number of folks think that having it here would increase site traffic (good for CP) as old timers returned to a troll-free environment. And, for what it's worth, I expect that while there may end up being a fair number of posts in Soap Box 1.0, at least some of them would have tried to be seen above the constant cloud of insults and attacks from the link-monkey and the conspiracy nut here and now won't be.
