I hate you, I really, really do.
Why do you waste your time thinking about such trivial things?

Why not? It's fun.

Your definition of fun is something I aspire to avoid, good day.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I'm always picked last and I can carry a conversation with myself. The forum will live as long as my account does.

I'll answer with my own hypothetical.
*Clears throat*

How long would you stay conscious if I was repeatedly punching you while you were tied to a chair?
(No you can't get out by any circumstances.)

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
I think we'd suffer the biggest losses if Sandtrap and Soporific were to go.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
Uh...alt accounts?

Quickly someone use game theory, and reference the trust system to work out an accurate date.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
It would be total chance. Say if Cheat, the mods, and the top 10 most profound posters were banned, the forum might last 2 weeks minimum with maybe an extra 3-4 weeks depending.


However, if all the Rose alts went, then users who were already banned we might have an extra week or two.


But the Plug.DJ site would stand the test of time.

All bans are IP bans. So alts wouldn't work. Making an alt would increase your likelihood of getting banned in fact. Cause it changes from a 1/150 to a 1/75 chance.
There are ways of evading that, you know.

I fucking hate it when people do this. Why are you bothering? It's a thought experiment, not a plan of action.

Just accept the terms and come to a conclusion, that way you actually fill the requirements of the discussion.

He might as well be asking what would happen to water if it became cardboard.

It's an impossibility because I have access to the database and can erase any record of a ban from the back end. Even if someone were able to remove my admin powers, I could go in and change them back in the database. Besides that, I make backups of the database and forum structure so things could be restored.

But ignoring all that, I'd say no more than three weeks (maybe a month). It would take a while, but eventually the mods would start getting banned and word would catch on that the forum is sinking; the angry, angry Offtopic members would swarm with clusters of spam and it would soon be abandoned.

Why get mad when it could be thrown into the mix of possibilities?
People can use different IPs, but how long before they give up doing that? That's the real question.
