A Brief History of The Shroomery...
    #5761179 - 06/17/06 05:08 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

The evolution of the Shroomery, as you now know it, has been a long process. It's story has been unfolding slowly, in cyber-time, over what seems like countless millennia. Especially to those in the trenches.

It is a saga with many heroes and a few villains. There have been many epic battles, odysseys, and grail quests. Champions have come, and gone, and come again. Over the years, dramas have unfolded here worthy of Shakespeare himself.

However, for this post, I will concern myself primarily with the technological evolution of the Shroomery:

I) The first Shroomery forum was made of rocks, sticks and twigs, bound together with animal sinew. Making a post consisted of chipping a message onto a medium sized rock, and bringing it from cave to cave.

II) At a later date, around 1500BC, Anno learned how to extract metal from ore-bearing rock, and Ythan then forged the Shroomery out of bronze gears, wheels, and rods. However, forum threads at this time could only hold ten posts. That's how many fingers Link had, and he figured that was as high as things could go.

III) At the dawn of the industrial age, Thor attached a steam engine to the Shroomery and things really began to take shape.

IV) During the cold war, with money from the military industrial complex, Vamp and Seuss constructed a vacuum tube Shroomery. This was called SHROOMIVAC, and it took up an entire warehouse. It needed huge air-conditioners to keep it form overheating. One night, Moe_Howard spilled a beer on it, and it Geo and I had to spend all night cleaning it up.

V) The current Shroomery, as we all know it, is based on quantum computing, which takes advantage of probability amplitude, and can provide all possible states for all possible posts at once. This is what makes the Shroomery such a unique experience for each user.

So, hat's off to the Shroomery; to its Mods & Admins (past and present); and most of all, to all you wonderful Shroomerites (past and present), who make this place the best damn community on the internet! :cool:

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
No, says the man in Washington; it belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican; it belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow; it belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose...
Rapture.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

There's a thread somewhere around here explaining the nitty gritty evolution of The Shroomery complete with the nasty admin drama, I'm far too lazy to get it though.
