Head's up: I will be reorganizing categories a bit to make a tighter connection between the article pages and the BBS.
If your favorite forum seems to have disappeared, look around, it's still here, just moved.

Nothing is going away, but some things are moving.

Thanks for moving it Jeff :)
Jeff, any chance of moving SG back down? Too many idiots are flooding the place and ruining the vibe.
Also - any chance of a 'Life' category? Society is getting a bit overcrowded. Such a category could include 'money money money', the school forum, the law forum and travellers travails: stuff which might actually be relevant and useful to our every day lives, as opposed to the society forums where we just discuss shit we'll never really be able to control.
Just a thought...
edit: Is this organisation paving the way for a greater plan? :D A wiki-esque textfile section?
Well, I personally don't think that SG should be in the About section as it really is all an Ego trip in there. But, though, perhaps make a Community category (oh no, nesting!) for things such as SG, HB, B&M? They seem to be the three big forums that are about the community... That way About can be about the forum itself and not about the community.
Hopefully that makes sense, Jeff, and it's good to see you active (for the time being, of course). Check's in the mail! :D

Your tag shit is going to eventually self collapse.
Just check out the tags in the other thread you made.
edit: You SUCK at taxonomy
Is there any way that you can make a "spam" forum so that any trash that comes from sg can go to said forum instead of hb? I understand that hb was originally intended to be the "trash can" as some moderators have so eloquently put it, but it has become it's own community with regular posters who don't appreciate the flood of retardation thrown at us every time some kiddiot decides to make a thread in sg.

I like it, with all of these new changes it is like a breath of fresh air.
I have a few ideas of my own that I would be willing to work on, but I doubt you or any of the other admins would buy into and help me out.
Putting HB in ego and not doing anything to SG was just gay.
then again, us members of HB don't want the shit that goes on in SG, so...
Good work, Jeff!
(P.S. HB shouldn't be used as a trash can, as it has its own community and such, as xian stated.)

Vices implies "bad for you."
Which doesn't describe sex, drugs, food, or money.

Might be wrong but if it was left as Vices according to the new alphabetical arrangement would be at the very bottom and as Carnality is by far the most visited section and the heart of totse (in my opinion) that might have inspired the change. Am I right? ;)
What I do find strange though, is that when I google search Carnality, this is the suggested image result. :)

And Eww... SG is touching HB.
HB should be as far away from SG as possible, to keep the SG faggotry from leaking in.

I too think SG should be moved away from HB, the stench of bodily fluids and rapidly decomposing brain tissue is wafting up into SG. :mad:

2008-07-11, 13:12
I think the previous order was a lot better.
At the very least change "Carnality" back to "Vices". Seriously. I understand that "Carnality" makes more sense in the context, but I'd rather be full of vices than of carnalities.
I mean, "Vagina" is the proper word to use when referring to the female genitals, but you wouldn't be using it while making love now, would you?
I appreciate what you've done, but I'd rather you cancelled the changes.

We don't really have many people in the military on Totse, just an abundance of mall-ninjas. And nobody smart enough to offer legal advice...

I seriously think that whenever Jeff needs a new title for a sub-forum he goes to merriam-webster.com and looks one up in the thesaurus. Am I wrong here?
lol u spelled wrong wrong.
You double negatived meaning he spelled it right, which is wrong.

No. There is no double negative.
The first wrong is a noun, the second an adverb.

He wrote "misspelled" instead of spelled, which negates the correct spelling of the world. Then he said he did it wrong, which negates it again. Technically, he's telling the poster that the poster is correct.

Exactly. If he mispelled wrong wrong, then he failed to mispell wrong right, which is to say that he didn't mispell it. Hence he spelt wrong right. And you, thinking you were right, tried to put him right by showing him the right wrong (which was right, not wrong) but you were, in your rightness,wrong.

Jeff I found your fucking little aliases. Think it would fool me? Eat my dick l00lol0lol0lo0lol0lol0lol0lol0lol0ll0l.
Also, I like the rearrangement and I think it is a good idea to tie more things in with the text files seeing as that is what this site is about. You ever thing of adding a comment feature to articles? I think that would be a really good idea, but hard to moderate. Maybe have mods that are alerted when new comments are added to articles/floods/etc.
I'd also like to talk to you some day when you aren't off working the streets to feed your second family or programming for the german intelligence about IRC.

There is a difference between broken and out of date.
Also, Jeff someone else already mentioned it but a wiki-styled textfile service would be a massive improvement, at least something interactive to do with the textfiles.

The reorganization is based on what the most dangerous knowledge is on TOTSE. In other words, the first few boards you see contain people that often speak gibberish. The next few are arm-chair thinking types. But as you progress, you get to see the darker side of the BBS. So, Jeff decided to smear the place with crisco.

Reorganization on Totse has always been a fun thing to witness, in my opinion. It's been awesome to see the site develop slowly over the past 20 years. We started out with basically just a simple telnet session to ftp with bright, multi-colored splash-screens, which evolved into the Win 3.1 look with lots of bordered squares with text in them, right over to a more smooth appearance with automated functions and more robust links/menus, and now we have a place that's just busting with bells, whistles, and all kinds of easter eggs. Who knows what we could have tomorrow!
A little reminisce, if I may. These were the original login screens from The Temple of the Screaming Electron... very cool ANSI graphics with multi-colored presentations. I would guess that loading these for a look wouldn't be all that easy in this day and age, but if someone had the time... Enjoy
