Talk:The Great Block War

From RationalWikiWiki

This has the potential for greatness. I have to go now, but try to add more to the timeline, like who joined and when. 22:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

You guys have way too much free time. Sterile 23:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Or rather a fair amount of free time with little idea of what to do with it :D MrFish 23:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

F'ing lame. There have been far better. human^{be in} 03:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

And sysops blocking each other for 30 secs apiece is pretty much meaningless, isn't it? human^{be in} 03:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Pft, fun killer. But maybe we could dig up the block logs from some of the more interesting past ones, it didn't seem like any good ones were documented yet. MrFish 03:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I must point out that my deletion of the image was due to the fact that it was several megabytes, and unopenable. 16:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Suuure it was. Next you're gona tell me they didn't cover up proof of aliens at Roswell. And I also must point out that the image is openable on a decent browser, just takes a minute for the whole thing to load.MrFish 19:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

On RW the download rate is a couple of Kb/sec even on a high-speed broadband connections. 19:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps a rename to "minor block war"?--Bob M 10:49, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you tell me of a bigger block war? It was great in the context of block wars, not that of the wiki overall. 17:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Wait, Human has implied that there was a bigger one. If evidence is provided, feel free to change it. 17:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I demand blood samples from the victims! Or at least a copy of the block log. That works too. MrFish 23:22, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Bugger!, I missed it--219.105.34.151 01:11, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll try to remember what I can... while not "wars" per se, Kels was the first to block all RW sysops in alphabetical order, back when there were about 25-30 or so IIRC. More recently, someone else worked through over a hundred of them to do the same exploit. But as far as block wars... there had to be more protracted ones - like going on for days - back in, say, the Bohdan days. Of course, the RW block log is so voluminous due to humorous blocks it's really hard to research. human^{be in} 01:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree, and I'm not demanding proof from the block log. Sifting through hundreds of pages of raw data is beyond our mere mortal capacities (well, except for LArron, and he's probably got better things to do). Enough testimonies to a larger one will be fine. 16:20, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I haven't gone further than 1 click & look here. & that's just 1 "person". 217.171.129.nn 17:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
