Comment Demonoid clones? (Score 1) 293

The webmaster says the site will return but still, I think he should release the platform the site runs on so that Demonoid-like sites can be created.

Otherwise where's the "whack-a-mole" factor that people mention when a major site is taken down.

Comment Egos (Score 1) 194

It depends on how inflated the ego is of the existing editor (or yourself if you have contributed a lot to a page).
When I used to contribute some pages were truly co-operational with multiple people (hopefully) trying to get a decent article together.
On other pages you came across someone who "owned" that territory and would often undo or edit new contributions rather than welcome some new input. These were definitely "war zone" pages. And lets not get started on the overwhelming armies of content deleters, when that hit it was like 5 people with pitchforks encountering a Roman Legion, there was no way to ever win that one.

Comment Jumping Jack Flash (Score 1) 1200

I was under the age of ten when I saw this but the actors pretending to type while text scrolled up on the screen at a uniform rate is some I still remember (hopefully correctly).

People operating computers with typed commands well into the graphical OS era is a common "bad computer scene".
And people playing video games on a modern system with sound effects date from the early 80's added over the top.

Comment The road to fascism (Score 1) 60

Looks like the framework is being pout place to make sure we all remain loyal to the Australian government (and the financial interests it serves), or else.

If the reader thinks we are really under threat from terrorists look up "false flag operations". Do these people sit around twiddling their thumbs waiting for terrorists give them the chance to introduce this type of legislation?
