The OLD List of Thread Masters and Their Topics

[Druid2]

Agreeing w/ Rong about the missing AI thread.

[yin26]

I've asked that the AI thread be moved over. I'd better check into it further.

Still need e-mail addresses from:

JT
Singularity
CrayonX
Ming

[Ming]

Sorry Yin... I have no intention of posting my e-mail addresses in a common area. If you would like, I'll e-mail you something so you have it... but I don't really see a need for it at this point in time. This site provides all the communication we need.

[Robert]

Ming, isn't the time far behind us that we didn't dare to publish our personal stuff at the internet ? Even my home adress and phonenumber can be found online lately. Or do you have enemies ?

I think you should open up a hotmail addy then, and use that for public purposes, but how can you operate online without an e-mail addy ?

--------------

I see there's a City Improvements - treath and a "New Ideas" discussion missing.
And then I mean new ideas that don't fit in any of the other discussion, because they're totally new.

I volunteer to manage one, or both of these lists.

CyberShy

[JT]

Yeah, the reason I don't have my E-Mail open on the Forum is so noone will E-Mail me if I don't want them to. The Forum gives more than enough publicity. E-Mail won't really make any difference, 'cause you have to go on the internet to get it anyway, and you can get here just as fast.

[JT]

Ummmm.... the new ideas would go in the "Other" list. You can co-master this thread with me, if you want.

[DanS]

Cybershy: I respect Ming's reticence. I know how easy it is to "cross-reference" available information to get the information I want, so I understand why Ming wishes to protect that information. Also the spam factor. I have received unwanted e-mail because I kept my e-mail public.

I take the Hotmail approach, but really, if someone got really pissed at me for something I said on the forums (real or perceived), they could find me "uncomfortably" easy.

[yin26]

JT and MING:

The times that I have found e-mail most helpful in this situation is when somebody wants to suggest something to me privately for whatever reason. Of coure, my e-mail was setup with Hotmail just for "fun" purposes, so I can walk away from it if I want to.

At any rate, please feel free to not provide an e-mail; however, can you please send me an e-mail (again?) so at least I can contact you as needed?

CyberShy,

Can you send me a quick e-mail requesting the City Improvements topic? It's sort of my e-handshake. Also, for the other stuff you mentioned, as JT says, we have an "OTHER" thread, which he has kindly offered to co-host with you.

[the Octopus]

I want to second everyone's suggestion that getting a Hotmail account is the perfect solution for having an accessible e-mail account, but keeping it separate from your "real" e-mail. This is what I have done.

E-mail is important. As has already been suggested, it allows for private communication. It also guarantees that you, in particular, will see a particular message. If I have something I need to say specifically to Ming or JT (I don't ) then I would know they got the message if I sent them e-mail. If I just posted, I would have to wait and hope. It is just easier. The hardest part about getting a hotmail account is coming up with a name and password.

CIV3-THE MASTER LIST-TECHNOLOGY "THREAD MASTER"

[kmj]

Am I the only one that thinks there should nbe a "governments" thread? Or is that already covered somewhere, and I'm just missing it?

[yin26]

kmj,

I think you missed it. Bell has that one--

SOCIAL ENGINEERING/GOVERNMENT: Bell: greatoz@umit.maine.edu

But if you can think of other important topics not covered yet, that would help a great deal. Maybe you'd like to Thread Master a topic?

Not that I want to sound cool,
but:

I'm co-leader of ¿ The Riddler's Club ? (http://www.riddlersclub.com / member db= http://members.riddlersclub.com (created by me))

This club has over 500 members, and there are about 100 clans (you know, 7 guys that downloaded some hack-proggies) that are yealous at the success of our club. Because our club hires a server and a domain name etc. we ask our members to donate. To let members donate, they need my home-adress. That's just onlin for public.

When a few months ago there was another clan that "Hacked down" computers of people that didn't got any knowledge about computers, I putted all MY info online, everything, and I dared those people to hack me down, instead of people that are easy to hack down. Dang, no-one even dared to try.

I've been hacked one time totally down, 4 weeks ago by Back Orofice, but again, that was because I turned of my BO-shield for one month, and that can happen to everyone.

To make a long story clear, I've loads of enemies. (well, the club has, nobody has anything personal against me) and all my info is available online, though in the 3 years I'm at the internet I never experienced problems.

Of course I'm spammed 4 times a day, but who cares ? I've a cool delete button that works in ,5 seconds. And that spamming is because I'm in several mailing lists and newsgroups.

Of course I respect it when you don't want to make your e-mail public. But I just want to make clear that there's nothing to fear. Your name is in the telephone book as well ;-)

======

I disagree that "New Ideas" and "Other" are the same. New ideas is about concepts that's never thought about (like me semi-turn idea, in example) while other is more about all current civ-topics that don't really fit in any of the other treads. But, well, maybe I'm wrong.

My mail to Yin is on the way.

CyberShy

[yin26]

CyberShy,

I see your point better now. Yes, in fact, I have invited Rong to Thread Master a "Radical" thread here (at the request of our friendly neighborhood Freddz), but I still haven't heard from him yet. If you can hang on a day or two until I investigate that further, I'd like to invite you to do that as well if you have LOTS of time.
