To topic or not to topic.
That is the cliche.
OH what would the forums be without the eternal debate? Factions around the issue are forming.
Gaia's Stepposters think that this new pristine world should not bear the weight of untamed human development that nearly destroyed our former home.
The Morgan Conposterate hold as their rallying cry, free and open access to posting any ideas. The bottom line here is post counts, and the more you can bring in the better are your chances for survival in this new and hostile place.
The PostKeeping Forces will try to see a balanced ground that both appeases and ticks off all who are involved. They see moderation of posting as the surest way to avoid suffering the flaming atrocities that charred the ground of our previous home.
The Posting Hive is made up of a mass of people whose horde-like posting mentality drives them to this planet day after day after day. They only post replies, shying away from starting new topics lest they be singled out as a innovator.
The University of Post is a group of educated people who look on posting as a product of human innovation. They study posts expecting to find in them some way to better post in the future. They develop their posts in exact detail and often set up control topics to better test their ideas.
The Posting Believers look on the act of posting as a divine experience that will get them closed to God. These are the people who have the strongest faith in the resurrection of the forums. The see the approaching SMAC release date as a apocalyptic epoch during which the almighty will sort out the worth from the unworthy. To type is human to post is divine.
The Spartan Posteration are a group of militant survivalist who stock up post counts and use them to ensure their survival. They feel that a person's worth is measured by his or her ability to post and maintain posting. Endurance and might make right.

If a topic is a topic then the posting within it should stick to the subject of the topic unless it can be proven that the topic is not, in fact a topic in which case you must not stick to the topic unless there is a full moon.

Ignoring the previous unrelated comment. . .
Perhaps Lurkers=Mindworms?
Yes, I think that works nicely, don't you?

I start a new posters faction, the Post-NIM Powers. We are few and far between, and post less in our old posting years and offer sage advice to the other factions as we travel the planet freely, in this new age.
