On the influx of new posters.

[peam]

Where are they coming from?

Existing board members making a new persona to discuss their actions in Fallen?

Legitimate growth of the board? I have seen an influx of true new players in GemStone recently.

Magnets? (How the fuck do they work?)

Discuss.

[Kuyuk]

Who are you talking about? There's been two new posters this year..... IW and the knockers chick.

[Ribbons]

It's the gov'ment trying to get moar C.I.A up in this bitch. Monitor our thoughts and actions.

Edit: WHOA! Deja Vu?

I'm not sure if you need to pay attention or if I have a legitimate problem.

Vice: How do magnets work?
Borrontoe: Wow, I like that question. I know there are polar opposites, positive and negative. Some sort of electric energy I guess.

Where did you learn this?
I’m just guessing.

What type of education do you have?
I finished high school… and I’m a multimedia artist.

Would you consider the principles behind magnetism to be more scientific or magical?
A combination of both. Because before science could prove anything it would seem like magic and at the same time there are some things that science can’t prove. So I guess the whole feel is that for something that interesting to actually work is crazy.

Vice: How do magnets work?
Scott: It’s a tricky question actually, but to go into detail of how they work–I can’t give you an exact answer. I know they can go on anything magnetic–hence the word magnet–but it’s an answer I can’t give you.

OK, could you use any other words to describe magnets?
I like “mystical.” Magnets are basically a mystical fact of the world in the way magnets work. It’s something that I’ve never thought about before. Something that is so simple that you can do with anything. It’s just a mystery that boggles my mind. I’m going to be thinking about it the rest of the afternoon.

What’s your education level?
I have a Bachelor in fine arts.

Vice: Fucking magnets, how do they work?
Nichs: Magnets? Negative and positives coming together.

Can you elaborate on that at all?
Well, for me when it comes to magnets I’m trying to make the two positives come together, but it’s not working out.

Wait, what happened to the negatives and the positives?
No, straight positives man. I’m trying to make them bond but it’s not working. I think I’ve got to fix my hypothesis and thesis and all that bullshit

Vice: In your opinion, how do magnets work?
Elena: Whatever has the scientific thing on the back you just stick it and it works.

What is the scientific thing?
Whatever they put on the back of the magnets. I don’t really know too much about magnets.

Would you call it magic?
No, it’s not magic.

So magnetism is fully within the scientific sphere of stuff?
I think it is just some smart people saying lets just put something on the back so it can stick like a sticker.


Vice: How do magnets work?
Bill: Magnets work by an electronic attraction.

And what causes that attraction?
That’s the best I can do.

Is there any magic involved?
No, no it’s scientific.

What is your level of education?
I have an Associates degree.


Vice: Can you tell me how magnets work?
William: Well, magnets are like two pieces of metal that are negative or positive. It can either lock together or can be pulled apart.

What do you mean by locked together?
The two parts connect.

What makes them connect?
Something about gravity? The waves. Like the sun and the earth. It’s the pull or something like the pull.

The gravitational pull?
Yeah, the gravitational pull of the magnets. It’s what keeps it together.

Would you consider magnets either magical and/or miraculous?
No, I wouldn’t call it magic. None of that stuff.

What is your level of education?
I finished high school

[Leloo]

I guess I'm a new poster... I would've used my old name but I couldn't figure out what SN I used with it.

[Hips]

HOLY SHIT, IT'S LELOO.

[4a6c1]

Ribbons is new. The Karramegeger guy is new. Gnomnomnom is new. IW.....has to be a lurker or like something. He has too much PC directed angst to be old. I know there are some other ones. Alot of R names. Ryvicke?!

Oooh. Maybe they are GM converted old posters some of them yes/maybe/magnets?

[4a6c1]

I totally PM'd you two minutes ago. I'd seen you on newest registered the other day and meant to do it then.. but then I dranks.

Welcome back.

[peam]

Welcome back.

This is all assuming that you are, in fact, the old Leloo.

[radamanthys]

This is all assuming that you are, in fact, the old Leloo.

I remember Leloo throwing a boomerang around the GY crypt, when Radamanthys was around train 15. That was a long time ago... when people used to still rest in the crypt.

And there are even more: Cthulu, HJFudge, and the rest of marlu are mostly new to posting or alts, too.

[Leloo]

I am in fact the old Leloo! Hi everyone! To even prove I'm the old Leloo you can see the characteristic Dean avatar that I think even GSLeloo still has.

[DCSL]

Mmm, Dean. Thank you for bringing him back. And welcome back!

[Cephalopod]

Meee.

Also, there are a couple of douchebags that seemed to come with Shattered:
- HJFudge
- Fortybox
- Subzero
- Cthulu
- Calidus
- Townkiller / Monotonous
- Monotonous / Townkiller
- Ribbons (who seems okay?)

I assumed some of them were alts who didn't want to degrade their nobody alter-egos.

[Delias]

I used to come here exclusively to do trading a number of years ago under a different name, to which I could not remember the password and just re-registered with my prime merchants name. If I had realized how much time I would spend in the social forums as opposed to the actual GS areas, I would have gone with something way cooler... like chainsaw laserman.

[Leloo]

I shoulda gone with something ninja too... I heard there was some conspiracy theory about me being hidden under some other name. I should've gone with, Ninja Creeper, and been all creeping around the board.

[RichardCranium]

In hindsight I would have gone with Pussy Slayer.

[TheLastShamurai]

In hindsight I would have gone with Pussy Slayer.

It's never too late...

What the fuck!?

[Leloo]

After seeing the avatar of the LastShamurai I have forgotten what we were talking about... that is the creepiest spider I have ever seen.

[Pussy Slayer]

It's never too late...

Good call.

[Earthlust]

Hi! Lurker here. I've played GS off and on since AOL, but nobody knows me. XD What can I say, you guys draw us in - like a venus fly trap.

[iJin]

I like Earthlust. A++++++ I approve.

[Mogonis]

I'm under the impression that all new usernames were Iorake and Inspire's doing.

[Kerranger]

err. im not new. look at the sign up date. i just dont post much.

[Enitocin]

I'm not super new, but I haven't been around forever. I lurked for years before I actually made an account too.

[Sean of the Thread]

I stole your avatar to spend a day as mine on facebook btw.

[DCSL]

Earthlust can stick around forever! She did one of my favorite character pictures. I should have tried to get her to do one of Lysistrata too, hmm.
