I'm sure that i had a lot to do with the changes for the better that were made here . I openly protested about the ' eliteism ' and ' Hitler youth ' atmosphere here in those days that was stifiling the forum .
I felt that a small group of people were trying to bully and dominate Vesp and take the forum over wich in my opinion would have turned it into just another meth forum and killed it .
I am sure that a large part of the reason that the hive was so popular was because members were allowed to talk and express themselves and their personalitys as they wanted within sensible limits . The moderation was good and because of that it still makes good reading and is very popular .
The ' reasoning ' of a few people that the hive should stay dead because then there would be different competeing versions is flawed ...... are there competeing versions that people can post in ?
If there are is / would that be a bad thing or good because then each one would be competeing to be the better one = a good thing because that would encourage quality and eventualy people would vote with their feet and the best one would win and the good chemists would move to it .
I think open it again with at least some of the administrators , moderators and members which would then inspire new thoughts and inovations ...... and through their experience help to train a new generation of chemists . I'm sure it would attract very many good people old and new to it . Of cource there would have to be some quality control ...... but not faschistoid ......
That isnt grave robbing or necrophilia .
Alpha wolves get old and have to face that and deal with it positively and sensibly by giveing way while passing their knowledge on ........ if they dont and they get bitter and try to kling to power and dominate they fuck their reputations and that doesnt do them or anyone else any good . It means that their experience , help and guidance would be missing ...... to grow up to be good chemists kids need good parents and not bitter vain old men with a grudge .
Anyone want to buy a vacume cleaner ?
