Intensity Squared History Guide Joint Project Discussion
« on: October 13, 2011, 08:04:49 PM »
Well, guys, let's admit it. This is one interesting place with a very interesting history behind it.

So why not start a joint project and make a guide on the history of I2.

Here's the first thing we need to settle.

How many major eras or epochs make up the history of I2? What names shall we give each one?

There is an "important threads for newbies" thread that kind of covers this.  Might be a bit buried by now.

Interesting idea. I'll be interested to see the history of this place wrapped up in one thread. Sadly I can't help much, as I'm a relative noob here

Teehee.

Neurolands. The second Intensity. Admin abuse 1. Democracy trials. Admin abuse 2. The World Council. The WC Aftermath. Everyone wanted to leave.  Rebirth. Drama.

Ok, we're getting somewhere.  :autism:

Odeon, your post is a bit confusing. So let me just start with the next set of questions:

When was this forum set up? By whom? For what reason(s)? What's the aim and purpose of this forum? What's the forum about?

What's a good name for the first epoch/era? If Neurolands, why the name exactly?

The first Intensity was set up in the beginning of 2006 as part of Neurolands, IIRC. AFAIK the originators were McJ and Omega Female, with input from several others (Neuroman, Eamonn, Dunc, etc), but I think Callaway knows this bit better than I do. The motives and reasoning are explained here. They didn't change a lot between the first Intensity and the second but I *think* direct democracy (as in a world council) was a part of the original site.

Teehee.

Neurolands. The second Intensity. Admin abuse 1. Democracy trials. Admin abuse 2. The World Council. The WC Aftermath. Everyone wanted to leave.  Rebirth. Drama.

:P
That ^^^ looks more like an un numbered index page than a synopsis.

And that looks like an introductory synopsis. Will you have the History done by Sunday?  :zoinks:

Hopefully, by the time I die, this shall be completed. :autism:

I'm thinking of how to type up the introduction and how to have it all written down. I think it's best keeping it short but detailed.

 I initially read that as  "short but DERAILED,"  and found it quite fitting!  :autism:

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

That has to be broken down into sub-sections as there is the Return of Binty in 2010.
