Hey guys. I'm doing a paper about qbn and I'm wondering if any of the vets around here know the origin of the site?

Yes.
One day Folkert met Kristopher.
They made sweet love and newstoday was born.
Teh End.

okay I'm going to say something I'm pretty sure some smartass is going to snipe at me for right away. But I don't care.
I wanna know why he thinks we should write his school paper. I'm sick of n00bs coming here asking people to solve things for them without looking. With such a great archival system, it seems pretty redic you couldn't find the info you needed to get far enough at least to bait a better conversation.
otherwise a fair amount of hazing will follow in your inquiry's wake.

@shellie
what's wrong with coming to the place you're doing researching on to ask some questions? if you were doing a paper on ford and could interview people involved in the company directly wouldn't you?
- but isnt making it up half the fun?epilI
- it's like asking fans what inspires an actor...honestIy
- @honestly asking someone the origin of something is far from what you're trying to compare it to.MarleyMarl
- so how exactly will users registered 03-10 know anything first hand about 01-02?honestIy
- how about you ask the same question to myspace or facebook users? no first hand information.honestIy
- well for starters there is the http://www.archive.o…epilI
- so anyone from 2010 can learn all they want about jevad and his free QBN stuff. all they wantepilI
- his essay/ paper thing can be ⌘C ⌘V from the Anthology Threads..epilI

@Shellie
First of all. I've been coming here for 2 years. I'm not that much of a noob.Second. I expected to get sniped at, hence my comment, "It's much funnier when this happens to other people"
Third. Asking the origin of a site is not asking someone to write my paper. epill dropping those names was actually useful cause I had something to work with and I was able to find out on my own.
I like the site and want to write about it. What's so hard to understand about that?
- wah waaaaaaaaah.shellie
- Mature response, shell. If you like creating something out of nothing, why don't you go design something instead?CanHazQBN

@Glitterati_Duane What is your paper about?
- Glitterati_Duane0
I was asked to write a 5 page paper about an information rich setting. Could be anything from a bulletin board to a grocery store. It's up to me. I'm supposed to write about how it changes, how people interact with it, yada yada.
