Underground Mac Community Foils a Coup
An anonymous reader writes "In an attempted palace coup that would not have been out of place in a Shakespearian tragedy, a moderator faction at Mac Serial Junkie, one of the largest underground Mac communities, was shut out this weekend after it was discovered that many staff members were plotting a coup. The plans included a surreptitious takeover of the domain name macserialjunkie.com. In an Open Letter to the Community, the founders of MSJ explain how a number of people at the highest levels of the underground planned their takeover activities for almost two years, only to be foiled at the last minute."
Oh god I fucking hate gay people.
This involves obscure mac stuff. Does anyone normal care?
Are you too blind to see that the existence of coups in the online universe is something important?
IT IS IMPORTANT FROM A SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE! This is an interesting display of the dynamics of social networks carried through the medium of the web rather than through good old sound and flesh to flesh contact!
You are all dismal idiots. This is as nerdy and geeky as it gets. Slashdot. News for nerds. (And, by extension, sociologists who study nerds.)
None of this has anything to do with what the site is, nor that it is a pirate site. (I defy any of the self-righteous posters to tell me they've never installed Windows with the same CD twice, or Office, etc.)
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT A COUP TOOK PLACE ONLINE, AND HOW SAID COUP TOOK PLACE.
Hey, remember when Zonk and kdawson plotted a takeover of slashdot? too bad they succeeded.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Fuck them and fuck whoever posted this.
