you should ban his ip so when he does buy the site he cant do anything

See: proxy.

ya but proxies are slow and then he would be wasting his time everytime he would want to post his spam here

Or, being an admin, he could unban himself via proxy.

Or maybe just use my laptop's cell card account, or my DSL account at home, or my cable modem account at home, or just go to an internet cafe, library, or hotel.  Or a friend's house.

Oh, and I think he may have mentioned something about a new format, I don't remember.  I plan to move the board data over to vbulletin, anyway, and revamp the site, so I was uninterested about any plans for the future.  I have things to do, you all may continue to squirm.

Hey, I just emailed Daniel and he said he made no such deal.

Guess you're beat.

I made making the deal a secret one of the terms of our agreement.  I didn't think I'd have the time or inclination to let you all in on it, but some small, bitter part of my psyche needed to see how you all would react.  I was just going to start taking over without saying a word, but I decided that it's important that you all know why you lost your playground.

It will have been for being unfunny, untalented, unoriginal, and purposeless.  Soon, this board will entertain, enlighten, amuse, and inspire, all while making me a tidy profit.

I should have guessed all you punk-ass loser kids would be dope-heads.  That explains alot.  Soon, this will all belong to me, and anyone who has mentioned using ilicit substances will be banned for life.

You are dumb and you post dumb things.

That's rich, coming from a vulgar, childish troll such as yourself.  Have you learned to drive yet, or do you still ride your skateboard to the arcade?  Aren't mommy and daddy monitoring your internet usage to make sure you're not spreading profanity like wildfire?  You should be ashamed of yourself!

That's rich coming from a fag.

Any account demonstrating clear homophobia will be deleted immediately.  What bearing, precisely, does my homosexuality have on your childishness?  You should watch that fear inside.  As I indicated before, it is usually because of the dirty man love dreams.  The self-hatred will only get worse until you accept yourself and allow yourself to feel pleasure from your man love.  Only when you love yourself - forgive yourself for your gayness, will you be able to enjoy making love with your boyfriend.

Tell Daniel that, he's the one that requested Euros.  Not my problem if he can't spend them.

First you said you offered to pay Euros, now you're saying he requested them. Make up your mind.

Assumption is the mother of all foul-ups, and your weak logic fails you.

I offerred to buy the site along with the board data and asked what units he preferred.  He indicated Euros.  I offered 1000.  He counter-offered 1500, I came back with 1250.  Done deal.  He says he'll be transferring posession to the escrow company in a day or so, and then they'll take 48 hours to verify my funds.

By this time next week, I will be the only admin, and most of your accounts will be deleted.

Do you have any evidence to support your outlandish claims?

Ah, yes, the evidence line.  Seems you don't just use it when you've run out of debating skill, huh?

I'm not here to humor you.  The first evidence you will see will be my sidebar suddenly showing me as admin.  The next tip will be when your moderator priveledges disappear, followed almost immediately by a permaban screen.  I may even shut the site down for a month to discourage you lot from lingering through proxies and the like.

Leave?  I told you, I'm buying the joint!  I guess the owner's name is Daniel, he just agreed on a price of 1250 Euros.  As soon as he transfers the domain to the escrow company, I'll pay him, this will all be mine!

Soon, there will be kindhearted mods helping new people get oriented, and intellectual discussions on new thought experiments to stimulate critical thinking around the world.

Why would you offer to pay in Euros when you live in the USA?

Because, according to whois, the owner is in Europe - why else?

Yes, in England. Where they use pounds. Not euros. Dumbass.

Oh, profanity now!  That will be outlawed soon.  This will be a clean forum, free from degenerates and cuss words, and graphic imagery of any kind.  It will be a proper intellectual debate site with grown-ups.  You all will have to go back to your social studies homework and cartoon watching.

I don't think.

Fixed.  You can try and deny it all you want, but I will own all of this soon.  If the owner of the domain won't accept my offer, I'll raise it.  See, grown-ups have jobs, which means I have money.  I will save the internet from this cancer, and once I have turned it into a proper, profitable debate forum with ads and real discussion, I will buy the 4chan domain, and then one disgusting, profane board after the next until they all are clean and they all are entertaining.

Oh, I get it. You're a capitalist who is against freedom of speech. Well, some of us are above corruption, and I'm pretty sure Daniel is one of them.

The ice near the ice wall is so perfectly flat that it reflects the sunlight. The Sun will appear to be on the horizon to the south when really it is beyond the horizon to the north.

Classic Fail.

How, based on the FE doctrine in the FAQ, is the sun's light reaching the vicinity of the 'Ice Wall' for 30 hours straight?  It should only be barely visible for a short time each day based on FET.

Shall I link the failboat pic now, or wait for you to sputter some more nonsense?

Would anyone care to explain my tan?

I don't see any evidence that you have a tan.

And I don't see any evidence that any of you have even attempted to verify Rowbottom's findings, yet you expect me to believe that you have.  I had a rather intense suntan.  My statements to that effect are your evidence.  Are you calling me a liar?

Singularity was joking. FE'ers have no sensible explanation for this well-documented effect.

Have you experienced this "well-documented" effect?

Yes, I have.  It looks like a sunset that turns into a sunrise without a night in between.  Kinda strange, really - you should see it sometime.  Can you account for what I saw?  For what all the other nice folks on my trip saw?  It's odd how similar it was to the effect in Fairbanks, AK, when considered through the FE goggles, no?

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Oops, you forgot the suntan I got in Antarctica

« on: October 01, 2008, 04:27:21 PM »

The sun was down as you slept and rose before you woke up. The suntan was a function of the radiation bouncing off the snow/ice in addition to directly from the sun.

Welcome to FES. The pain you feel will always endure.
I was joking in the first sentence, as I am an RE'er (Round Earther).

Sleep?  I sleep very little, and in short spurts.  I was never asleep for more than 90 minutes.  Based on the FE map, the sun, even during the peak of summer, even with the massive difference in velocity it would need to have equal-length summer and winter, couldn't possibly be visible for more than a couple of hours in a 24 hour period.  Look at my trip!  I wasn't at the tip of the peninsula, I was at the pole.  Based on FE astrophysics, The sun couldn't have been visible at all, really.  I should have seen a sort of morning glow for a half an hour or so each day.  With the weird lighting, my circadian rhythms were all out of whack, and I was up at one point for almost 30 hours.

Oh, and I've lurked enough to know you are a RE'er.  What do you think?  Relativity?  Watch/clock/hourglass technical malfunction?  They are somewhat creative at times.

Actually, I assume the aether doesn't exist at all.

That's not what Einstein says.

Are you saying that you're smarter than Einstein?

Actually, Tom, Einstein has been dead for some time.  He doesn't say anything.

And are you really trying to compare the tripe you presented here about aether to Einstein's concept thereof?

According to Wikipedia, the first BEC was created at a temperature of 1.7 * 10^-7 K. If you can find a source stating that the atmoplane gets to that sort of temperature, I'd love to read it.

That probably rules it out as a mechanism for the extreme changes of the speed of light in the atmosphere as suggested by Tom then.

I'd say so, but then, I'd also say that the easily verifiable distance between South America and Australia proves quite simply, easily, and irrefutably the round nature of our planet.

I have to say, I'm agitated by this site.  I've spent hours here now, searched, read hundreds of pages, and can't for the life of me figure it out.  I'm impressed either way.  If they are not genuine, than I am impressed with how far they take the statement.  If they are genuine, then I am impressed by their ability to keep themselves alive, and financially solvent enough to maintain a consistent source of internet access and computer technology.

Either way, they are phenomenally stupid - they are either wasting their time trying to make a statement that has been made many times, better, and for better reasons, or they actually believe that the planet is flat.  Hmm... I think I just cured myself of my two-and-a-half day obsession with this message board.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Mythbusters did the moon landing

Hi, all, first time post here.

I can't figure out how the RE people keep allowing themselves to be distracted - the point here is simple, and impossible to refute.

You FE'ers do acknowledge the speed of light, correct?  I have personally verified it through repeatable experimentation in physics lab in college, so this is not subject to your direct observation nonsense.  I assume at least one of you has done this, and can accept the speed of light?

OK, so the reflectors... it has been argued that they represent proof we were there - this is a distraction.  Who cares, with relation to the FE/RE debate (I still chuckle every time I put those acronyms and words together!)?  The point is this - you can bounce light off of the moon.  By using nearly monochromatic lasers, you can identify those specific photons returning.  It has been argued that the reflected light could be bouncing off of the moon's surface - again, who cares?  I have done this, and the time it takes the light to return quite conclusively shows the surface of the moon to be 385,000 km away, give or take a few (literally, 3-6) centimeters.

Now, I, as well as hundreds of other non-conspirators, have personally experienced this at Apache Point.

Let me cut off a few flatworlders at the pass:

The technology used was completely familiar to me.  I have built lasers myself, and tested them, and the equipment being used was most definitely a laser.

It has been argued that it would be quite difficult to aim a laser that precisely.  This is both nonsense and irrelevent.  At the distances involved, aiming a laser at a specific point on the moon is, by huge orders of magnitude easier than centering a star in the field of view, and I think we can all agree that we are able to point telescopes at stars with accuracy.  Also, as stated earlier, who cares, for the sake of this argument, whether the light is being reflected off of the retroreflectors or the surface of the moon itself?  That has no impact on the amount of time it takes for light to travel from a to b to a.

I have seen the 'through a medium' argument.  There is no compound known to man that can slow light to the extent that would be necessary.  Your argument is that somehow, light could be slowed so much that it would take it as long as it should take to travel 770,000 km to travel only 6000 miles.
