Interesting things happen everyday, in other places and other forums. In here, not so much, but when it does, it puts a smile between our cheeks.
Luna's SC content wise was more extreme. For most of it's existence it was completely lawless, with the exception of CP. ( CP brings ruin to lives simply by having it show up on one's screen ).
The Lawless SC, left room for more self exploration of the darker half. For me it's been a sharpening tool for tolerance and being more indifferent toward people and things I don't like.
Now, SC is simply about keeping tabs on people I can't trust once in awhile, or people who'd cheer at their own comrades downfall.
Other day my date told me about this doctor that gave her his card, and she looked him up and found he was on the news for sexual harassment charges. She showed me the article, and from the story we see how he made a comment to a couple about her riding her husband like a motorcycle, and another incident where he jokingly told a nurse to bend over his knee so he can spank her.
I then told my date how if a doctor did or said the same things to us, how we'd burst out laughing and lose no sleep over it. My date got really giddy and was like "I know !" This in spirit is SC's way. Mental strength, not weakness. I'm not particularly proud of SC, and I'm not very fond of many of you. But there are qualities found here the typical person can learn and utilize, because there is bullshit in the world. As for me there's nothing left here. The last thing I've learned from SC is that even my patience can be broken, but fortunately, this isn't forever so I'll last, until it's taken away again, one way or another.
This is seemingly a common position on the forum by older heads. It became about occasionally keeping tabs on the regular members. I think the reason Luna SC was more extreme was that she went out of her way to make sure the place was generating something to keep the dynamics fresh. In that sense she pushed the forum in different ways like a puppet master with the goal of making it interesting and fueling forum use. She had fun with it for awhile then got bored of her own creation and dropped it.
10 years ago Luna showed up at the Nabble forum which was hosting Socioworld's, or SW's forum.
That nabble forum was "thee" most vile thing to ever be online. 100% lawless. It was dark web. No moderation whatsoever. Make M.E. Thomas seem more of what she claimed to be.
Nabble announced making that section of it's forums into a paysite due to it containing adult content and no one wanted to pay for it, so it was going to close. ( Over some time Nabble made the old forum public again, while not too long ago now, they finally killed it )
Luna, was a noob to the site, she came in a few weeks before it's imminent destruction. I boast when I say I told Luna she'd end up doing something great, before she created a new site for M.E. A lot of the original members weren't too keen on joining Luna's forum, probably because they spent enough time and energy smacking her around. At 17 Luna had a strong head and wouldn't flee from cold and ridged characters online.
The point I'm making.
Luna's SC was rough, because she wanted to please the community. She was young and wanted to fit in and doing the community a solid. We liked having this place where we could go out of bounds or push buttons and pull levers nowhere else would allow. SC was eccentric in interesting ways, for real. It was a genuine psychological study. Those who learned to enjoy themselves in such a place found peace in chaos, which I think is good cause the world is chaotic.
I do believe, if we don't learn to find peace in chaos in this life, we won't be prepared for the reality of eternal timelessness, which will be an endless saga of good and bad. When I say snowflakes go to hell, I'm not asking or demanding it. I mean the snowflake will find themselves in a hell, because there's no such thing as "truths" only the truth.
