    How did this forum come about?

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by BrentM.Adams36, Jul 17, 2018.

    This forum is small now, which probably means that it isn't that old, and since the poster with the highest count is Lpspider, and he has less than 200, that seems to support that theory.

    The Admin is from IL, USA, and one of the two Moderators is in the UK. The only other person on the staff list in an editor, and I'm not sure what kind of position that is here.

    So, how did this forum come about? Did the Admin and the moderators meet on another board?

    What's the history? We're writers, so isn't there a story there?

    ETA: Ah, I see Verto joined here. I must have missed that before.

    What forum are you talking about?

    Edited to add: If you're talking about writingforums.org, the poster with the highest post count is just under thirty-six thousand posts, and joined in 2007.

    Where are you getting your data from? :wtf:

    Lpspider is a member that was created in 2016. Our forum has been active since 2006. We're not a sprawling mega-forum, but we're hardly small. We have members whose posts number in the tens of thousands, myself included.

    There are two admins. The owner and myself. There are six supermoderators other than the admins.

    The way most forums come to be. People meet in other places and conversations happen to the tune of "If this were my place, I would do it like....", and then someone finally bites the bullet and creates their own space.

    As explained above.

    Whoever Verto may be in the real world, said person has not been active in our forum since 2010.

    Omg I just realised I don't exist, I'm a figment of my own imagination, just like everyone with more than two hundred posts. ( what a very strange post)

    Also the forum was sneezed out of the nose of the great green arkleseisure , obviously, doh.

    Names on replies, confirmation of active domain, response times from wherever they originate, vulnerability, countermeasures?

    Possibly. IPs from the U.S. and then Vietnam, though IPs are rather meaningless these days.

    How does that work?

    Is it like a copypasta where certain blanks get filled in?

    I do not know dick about boys, I’m just curious.

    EDIT: I do not know dick about *bots.
