I think Blue and MordantMaenad are the same person......

Sockpuppetry is permitted here? The mind boggles.

....Or so I thought.....??????

Yes. Sockpuppetry is allowed here.

Snakes alive. It must get very confusing.

It can be confusing, but we don't mind. More often than not, socks here are just people trying to be funny. And, since we have an army of sysops, any vandalism is usually taken care of almost instantly.

An interesting site structure. Most be very drama prone however, as the base of authority on other wikis becomes the standard user. You're lack of Bureaucrats also confuses me. How does the site function? A mobocracy cannot survive once it has reached a certain size, infighting and its inherent conservatism destroy it. Or is that what the current drama fest is about?

John Childermass (talk)23:11, 25 May 2011

It is what the current drama fest is/was about. We had too many of all kinds of users. Thus, it was decided to change the various user rights groups. We currently only have two people who can be considered 'crats, and they are our technical administrators. However, this is only because they have changed the user groups of "Bureaucrats" to "Moderators" and we are going to hold an election soon to elect new users who would be considered "Bureaucrats." So, while we used to be a mobocracy, we are currently in the process of changing that to a more organized mobocracy.

I appear to have arrived at a time of rapid change. "May you live in interesting times" indeed. I take it the obsession with an obscure website I have never heard of is also a cause for drama?

We're not.

Then who the hell are you? I'd almost be willing to place bets on Bohdan, but that's too easy....

Is pink I believe
