After many years of service, 2ndWhiteLine has decided to retire from the moderation team. I'd like to thank him for the immense amounts of time and energy he has dedicated to making this site a better place, and the guidance he has personally given to both myself and the many other moderators and ex-moderators who served alongside him during his years of service. As a welcoming, open, and all round stand up guy I look forward to seeing him continue to be an active presence on the site. I'd also like to apologise this wasn't made a bit sooner, as an unexpected delay in another upcoming announcement pushed everything slightly backward. Sorry! On the bright side, we're no longer obliged to plus one his terrible jokes due to the lack of the comedy cube :D.

Additionally, I'd like to thank peterwiggin for agreeing to step up into an administrator role. There will be no difference to see for the majority of users, but it's extra work that he has agreed to take on in order to keep improving our site and building toward the future, which should be deservedly recognised. I look forward to working with him.

Thank you, 2nd White Lion.

Where did the word comedy cube come from?

I've only seen it used on this website -- and a brief google search didn't seem to offer much more than a YouTube channel dedicated to Mine-craft.

Ok, if it's site-specific. Why is it called a "comedy" cube?

ghug (5068 D(B))

The cubes predated 2WL but I'm pretty sure it was him, Zultar, and abge +1 whoring that got them the name.
wjessop (100 DX)
17 Mar 16 UTC
I'm still not understanding: How does +1 whoring connect with the term "comedy cube", what's the link? If +1 whoring inspired the name for the mod/admin symbol, why isn't it called the +1 whore cube?
ghug (5068 D(B))
17 Mar 16 UTC
Because it was given the name by someone with the cube as an alternate explanation for their +1s.
It's actually the target of a re-branding campaign after the mods came together to subdue jmo "The Banhammer. Terror of the Forums"

Jmo doesn't get enough credit. We should host some games in his honor, I'm sure they'd be high quality.
@ghug: that is because jmo hasn't actually left. He has simply gone undercover.

The Pantheon's Oculus, an original brainbomb theory
So I recently did a lecture on the Pantheon. I find it interesting becuse it is a perfect example of the use of the Roman invention of the Dome and also the use of Corinthian Columns (the signature Roman column).
But at its center is the Oculus, a hole in the dome intended for structural support which allows the interior of the Pantheon to be illuminated.

Book Club
Is anyone interested in starting a book club.

Where we pick a book each month and debate that issues it raises on the forum? (sign up below) I'm thinking of things which are political/economic books like 'Guns, Germs and Steel' by Jared Diamond, or 'Hot, Flay and Crowded' buy Thomas Friedman.

Oz in gameID=171427 is being replaced due to inactivity. Please note that this is a special rules roleplaying thread. To see the original rules, see viewthread=1325508 . Know that this game takes dedication, as it will quite possibly last many more months, and there are more than 60 pages of message archives.
