        year "we don't offend people for the sake of offending" it's not correct - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 11:05 7

    - [deleted] 3
      - did i say it was not protected by free speach? i said it was stupid and meaningless - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 10:47 2

  - If ST ever died, I'd replace it with a Slack site. It's not quite the same but it would achieve the goal I think -- nm - oblique Jan 16, 10:32 1
    - Well, I just thinking that the Slack interface kind of turns IRC on its head (in a great way). Would be nice for something to do that to forums. - Beryllium Jan 16, 10:35

Twug, I'll withhold judgement for now, figuring that it makes sense to start out by setting up the world and the inner planets/OPA tension... -- nm - Ender Jan 16, 10:18 3
- Agreed. I hope "SyFy" (I *hate* that spelling) doesn't screw it up, because I really enjoy the books. -- nm - TWuG Jan 16, 10:19 2
