  A new blo- *banned*

  Seriously what's up with all these bannings, some are expected on atleast some level but users like Azure and Darkxsoul. If GS keeps loosing members like his there ain't gonna be any community left to mod. I think the baan tooll stands at about 5 users over just a few dayspossibly more.

  If this continues along with all the boring OT threads i may not be here much longer.....

  Myers Briggs

  Just did one of those personality tests and the result was perfect (INTP)(67 62 100 11). Apparently my future job is going to be in natural sciences or computing which are strangly my best 2 subjects at college. The rest:

  Rational Portrait of the Architect (INTP)

  Architects need not be thought of as only interested in drawing blueprints for buildings or roads or bridges. They are the master designers of all kinds of theoretical systems, including school curricula, corporate strategies, and new technologies. For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models. What is important for Architects is that they grasp fundamental principles and natural laws, and that their designs are elegant, that is, efficient and coherent.

  Architects are rare - maybe one percent of the population - and show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types. They tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies instantaneously, and can detect contradictions no matter when or where they were made. It is difficult for an Architect to listen to nonsense, even in a casual conversation, without pointing out the speaker's error. And in any serious discussion or debate Architects are devastating, their skill in framing arguments giving them an enormous advantage. Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.

  Ruthless pragmatists about ideas, and insatiably curious, Architects are driven to find the most efficient means to their ends, and they will learn in any manner and degree they can. They will listen to amateurs if their ideas are useful, and will ignore the experts if theirs are not. Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. Architects are interested only in what make sense, and thus only statements that are consistent and coherent carry any weight with them.

  Architects often seem difficult to know. They are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and their reserve is difficult to penetrate. Able to concentrate better than any other type, they prefer to work quietly at their computers or drafting tables, and often alone. Architects also become obsessed with analysis, and this can seem to shut others out. Once caught up in a thought process, Architects close off and persevere until they comprehend the issue in all its complexity. Architects prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.

  Boxxy

  As this new meme seems to be a confusing alot of people with it's suddenness i shall explain it here:

  .

  For reasons of moderation when i say 'that site' i'm referring to the most popular imageboard on the internet which has pretty much no rules, the only rule that was made was because the FBI came calling at the admin's house. So you can sort of see why it's a moddable offense to mention it.

  .

  Boxxy is a teenage girl who posts on 'that site' she made various meme style pictures such as "I see what you did there". These threads became incredibly popular including a photoshop thread. Later other users posed as boxxy, this is possible as on 'that site' you can post under any name and no password is required, messages such as "I love 'that site'" cropped up.

  These images grew in popularity resulting in a reply video on youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Yavx9yxTrsw She then exponentially grew in popularity leading to a full blown mem, this like every meme resulted in mass spamming.Other users and the admin (known only as 'moot') weren't happy about this so moot started suspending IPs of people who spammed the meme (also know as trolls) and the general users that wanted the meme gone started reply with messages such as "Boxxy is the cancer". After some time these users raided the site (also known as a DDoS), this is where auto refreshers and auto posters are used to overload a server and crash the site, this was finally sucsessfu around midnight last night.

  This halted the meme by cutting the sudden popularity the site had experienced and also allowing moot to delete boxxy posts that had already been made and apply a filter auto banning anyone who posted the word "boxxy".

  .

  If you have a problem with this blog jody or any of the mods just PM me with any adaptions you would like or if you wish it to be removed entirely. This post is only to remove the confusion and provide a quick end to these "What is boxxy?" threads.
