Split: Is it appropriate to say Wong is "hiding"?

Did a related website in the community go down? Come back up? Relocate to a new address? Install pop-up advertisements?

This forum is for discussion of these sorts of issues.

SDN invaded boards before. The thread in question was launched when SDN prepared a covered invasion on deiantart (namely, amassed arguments for what was a 1:1 debate). Also, not anyone from SDN was personally attacked there.
On deviantarts? Damn, they must have been pretty desperate!

Next invasion of The Cutting Board!

It ended up being about a dozen to one, where a bunch of people at SDN were chimming in with different arguments and the one that actually posted to deviantart kept saying basically 'check it out, how do I argue against this latest bit here'. I forget who it was, but the thread should still be up at SDN.

A few of us used to do board invasions, but it is really more trouble than it's worth. Sometimes people may go off and do things on their own if they think it is worth the trouble but organizing and planning invasions these days is-- to the best of my knowledge-- just not done.

What is happening here is not an "invasion", or at least I hope you don't perceive it so. I clicked on the link and read some stuff here and saw what I thought were mischaracterizations so I came here on my own. A few others came over also, but their reasons are their own too.

I think at this stage if there's anyone at SDN organizing board invasions of others it is small groups of like-minded individuals who do it for fun, and would do it regardless of whether SDN existed or not.

Speaking for myself, I don't consider the increase in posters with SDN accounts to be an invasion. The posting is much too uncoordinated and infrequent to be an effective invasion anyway :)

I agree with AnonymousRedShirtEnsign , I don't consider the increase an invasion, particularly since most posters have remained civil, and have participated in debates like every other board members.
And I welcome the addition of opposed ideas, and of different opinions...
