Also Sprach Doctor Thaddeus Ozone,: [quote] Hmm? In the beginning there was only one Mad Scientists, me. What a huge responsibility! One night, before we stopped allowing HTML in the forums, someone posted a thread, something like "Hey! What does it mean when I type </td></tr>?" That was great, except all of our layout here is held together by tables, and closing a row in the middle of a thread turned out to be... not a great idea. Everyone was really sad and bummed, apparently it was an extra-good thread with lots of good stuff in it, what to do? I suppose I could have gone in and modified the data files directly, isolating the offending bit, but before I could Slime went in and made another post, restarting the rows again. All was good except that one glitchy section in the middle, how cool was that? Thus, Slime became our second Mad Scientist that evening, and I rebuilt all the threads to update his title throughout. Since then, I've periodically bumped people up to the MS ranking as it seemed proper and obvious, it's not a job you really ask for, nor one you should expect, it kinda just happens. On a side note, we once got to the point where we had about as many Mad Scientists as we do today, and I got pissed one night and demoted everyone after a particularly weird and bitchy week in which accusations of improper behaviour and such got way out of hand. (Who else remembers that? Was that about a year ago, maybe? Longer? Phew, was I pissed.) ANYways, all of todays Mad Scientists are new since that date. I should maybe search and see if any of those old threads still exist.[/quote] -------------------------- Relevant threads: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/005993.html]What is a Mad Scientist[/url] ______________________________ [internallink=4626]Emperor[/internallink] [small][i](Added by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Emperor]Emperor [/url] on Wed 20-Nov-2002)[/i][/small] [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Emperor]Emperor [/url] on Wed 20-Nov-2002)[/i][/small] Loading...
