The Great Ferret Invasion

2007-01-19T05:37:43Z

SuperFreak82:

It was a normal night in the [[IRC Channel]]. Freakman was setting up an Apache server, mainly with help from [[TheFerret22]] (aka [[Furo]]). Freakman normally uses [[X-Chat]]'s handy tab complete feature, by typing the first two characters in a name, then pressing Tab, thus completing a nick. However, [[md]] had spawned a user from his laptop called ThinkPod. ThinkPod was screwing up this two character + Tab combination as his name started with "Th" as well. When ThinkPod timed out however, Freakman rejoiced. Shortly thereafter, ThinkPod rejoined, and Freakman cursed his existence yet again. It just so happened that [[Hacker_Dan]] (aka [[dan]]) showed up and read about this struggle. He then promptly changed his nick to TheFerret23. This caused Freakman even more frustration, and the result that all active members of the channel at this point changed their nick to TheFerret2x.

The Magic 0

2006-08-28T21:08:25Z

SuperFreak82: Last Edited by SuperFreak82 August 28 2006

As it would seem, the number 0 (or "zero" to some) corresponds to an previously unheard of phenomenon. For obvious reasons (See [[CompSci.ca]]) there are exactly 1896 board members with 0 official posts. Of 4084 forum members, this 0 population represents over 46% of the entire board population. This number has a tendency to grow and shrink. Mostly, it just grows.
==Theories==
Negating any planning, logic, or analysis; the only two possible explanations are as follows:
*Ever since the creation of the numeric systems, [[the number 0]] has striven to conquer its arch nemesis: [[the number 1]].
*The [[Coutsos Identity Crisis]] is far more complex than anyone had anticipated. Each of these entities are other Coutsos identities. This has led to the creation of the [[Array Theory of The Coutsos Identity Crisis]].
==Unexplainable Occurrences==
Despite their avoidance of forum participation, a select number of these users actually own (or owe)[[bits]].
