Perhaps I should start the archival process of every single thread in /lounge/, and by extension, the rest of world4ch as well. I mean, this is important historical data! Future generations must know of Milkribs4k's brief time here, and all the comments that racist Stormfronters left in /newpol/. They must know of the shenanigans that go on in /prog/, and must know about The Pleasure of Being Cummed Inside and all of its subsequent derivative threads.
They must know of RedCream and his talk about panning for gold up in the Yukon. They must learn of people like Twentydongs and his infinite wisdom.

I was just wondering, do you think there'll be social networking sites in fifty years? Or will it be considered millenial kitsch, the same way soda shops and roller rinks are thought of now?

If humanity survives another 50 years without reverting to the dark ages social networking through technology will have evolved to the point that our ways seem hopelessly inconvenient and archaic. Like b&w tv with only four stations and no tivo. But social networking is an essential part of humanity and cannot be compared to soda and ice skating.

I wouldn't necessarily call it "essential". It may end up becoming an antiquated relic of Internet technology like Gopher is now. Some will still keep its spirit alive, but many will have gone on to bigger and better things.

Soda shops were popular gathering places for teens to socialize, listen to music, etc. around the 30's to 50's, which you could compare to myspace or facebook in an abstract way.

Socializing itself may be essential, but these web 2.0 networking sites are just one form of it. They'll probably evolve into something new, or be replaced by something else

Shiitchan is fine. It just needs a good two week long session of perfecting by Mr VacBob. But he's too busy to do that. :-(

YES TO ALLAH KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 31 — It will be a glorious new year for some 850,000 Catholics in Malaysia.
In a landmark ruling today, the High Court here lifted the home minister’s ban against the Catholic church publishing the word “Allah” to refer to the Christian God in its weekly paper, Herald.
The government had said that the ban was necessary to avoid confusing the majority Muslims in the country. Islam is the official religion in Malaysia.
But the church claimed the ban violates its constititutional rights to practice its religion freely.
According to Father Lawrence Andrew who edits Herald, the term “Allah” has been used by Christians in the region to refer to their God since four hundred years ago. He added that it is still actively used today.
Lawrence explained that “Allah” in the Christian context is used to refer to the trinitarian concept of “God the Father” which is different from the Muslim use of the verse to refer to the “one and only God”.
Herald’s editor claims the use of the word has not died out and is still being used in church worship among indigenous East Malaysians, who form a substantial number of the Christian faithful in the country.
The church first took the government to court last year after the home ministry threatened to revoke its annual publishing permit for Herald, Malaysia’s only Catholic paper.
It was forced to refresh its suit again this year after its 2008 permit expired without any decision from the court.

Have you ever looked at the Shii code? Seriously, it would be better to just start from scratch; but why bother if you can just watch girl cartoons.

But then world4ch would lose all of its historical data! We cannot allow that to happen! Plus why would he throw away all the work he's done on it so far?

God forbid we steal the thunder from the United States of Australia (ignorance reigns supreme) but the fact remains that Auckland is 496.3 kilometres (308.4 mi) west of the International Date Line and thus is the first major city to see the beginning of the new year, however it is Kiritimati, Republic of Kiribati that is the first "city" in the world to see the first sun rise for the year. The 328m tall Sky Tower becomes a beacon for everyone celebrating the New Year, and when midnight strikes, all of Auckland will look towards the Tower to ring in 2010 with a spectacular display of pyrotechnics.
As much as I love Australia some of you make me feel sick to my stomach with your patriotism, nationalism, arrogance and ignorance. Some of you make Australia and Australians look like the land of fools where ignorance is bliss and where in the land of the blind the one eye is king. You make the United states of America look like the religious seat of Tibet. It is of no wonder that my Aussie friend dies of embarrassment on Australia Day ... get some fucking class - it won't cost you anything. No offense to the Aussies who have more than one brain cell. Happy fucking New Year you twits.

I'd just be better to leave it as is. Shii[/spoiler]t[/spoiler] is not as bad as people like to make it out to be. It is rough around the edges and it does need work though.
