More about CP

The Special Discussion Group, or "SDG", is the creation of Conservapaedia sysop TerryH, at Andy Schlafly's request, to form a secret steering committee for Conservapaedia (this group is otherwise known as 'The Ten' - есть теория, что Schlafly forged nine rings for the others, to bind them to his will). It was originally on Yahoo.

The Google group is located here. Beyond that, very little is known of it, since it is closed to non-members. However, here is what is known.

Hystery

Awww, shucks.
The group was formed in May 2007, in the run-up to the purge of (nearly) all liberal editors from Conservapaedia.[1] The initial membership included Andy Schlafly, TK, Karajou, TerryH, Ymmotrojam, Geo.plrd, CPWebmaster1, DanH and RobS. Over time, the group came to include, PhilipRayment and Jallen as well. Hojimachong and Tory Conservative were never members of the group.

On 27 November 2007, after his "r e t i r e m e n t" from Conservapaedia, TK opened the group for all the world to see. On 30 November 2007, the group was again closed, pending legal threats against TK. Members of this wiki were invited to join it at that time. On 1 December 2007, however, all RationalWiki members of the group were expelled.

Flava Flaveure Flav

While open, some threads could be read. The small slice of the Group investigated bore out the conclusions that:

  1. The FBI investigation is not going so well.
  2. Conservapaedia believes that RationalWiki is responsible for every vandal attack that has ever occurred.
  3. Every vandal is either Icewedge, AmesG, or Human, and every marginally computer-savvy user is Linus.
  4. Even other sysops hate Conservative.

Role in Conservapaedia History

Discussions in the Group represent, quite possibly, the key to understanding what the Conservapaedia sysops are all about. It could be the find of the century, finally giving reason to the rhyme of what goes on over there. As such, information on the group, as it becomes available and not-taboo to post, will be used to help understand our good friends across the pond.[2]

The "end" of the Special Discussion Group came as a result of TK's final confrontation with Aschlafly: opening the group was the ultimate betrayal of Schlafly's trust, and we can only speculate that his reaction was not very kind. Further, as this action bared all the sysops' venomous thoughts on each other to the world, a major breach in administrative trust, concluding in the implosion of the blog, may be at hand. Stay tuned.

Bizarrely enough, TK is now back at Conservapedia, as if nothing has happened.
