I'm actually subscribed to [email protected], it's the only community I've found so far. However it sounds like I need to check out the other communities at mander.xyz to see what they offer!

A couple of my hobbies that I've seen barely getting started here... photography and mycology. There's a lot to explore in both without getting wrapped up in religion or politics.

Would we even be able to communicate with anyone? Despite it being an English-speaking country, the language has seen a major shift in the last thousand years.

If language wasn't a barrier, I'd probably completely screw up history. I'm descended from both Scottish and Norwegian families so it would be tough to pick a side. Once I did, well I'm a bit of an expert on trebuchets with some experience in blacksmithing so I'm sure I could make some friends pretty quickly. Add in some knowledge of electricity and maybe I could even make myself out to be a wizard.

I've always felt that once we get a grasp on gravity, the motion of all these objects would be easily reproduced. If your craft relies on the manipulation of gravity for motion, it also cancels out the G effects that are currently our biggest limitation to rapid acceleration. And a spherical shape would be ideal for such a craft, allowing movement in all directions.

I'm curious about this description of a dark cube inside a transparent sphere. Could the sphere in this case be our first visual confirmation of the force that propels these crafts? I've never run across this description before so it's something new to ponder.

If these objects are actually visitors from other worlds, could the different shapes being reported indicate technologies or structures preferred by different species? For example, spherical shapes might seen natural to ocean-dwelling species, but the cubical shape may be more representative of a species similar to humans. It's all pretty fascinating, although I never really followed the UFO folks much (too much conspiracy-theory chat and not really any scientific analysis), so I'm just waiting for the day when they reveal themselves to us, and see what we find out.

One thing I REALLY hope doesn't make it into the clone... Rarbg made a point of claiming every single entry was seeded, despite the fact that pretty much anything more than a few months old was in fact not seeded and could only be obtained if another user came back. If you wanted to grab a TV show that had ended a couple years ago, you could bet that many episodes had a number of peers listed who were hoping it would be seeded again, but they never were. I guess I should clear out that stuff from my client now, but I actually have entries that have been waiting for up to two years because I couldn't find them anywhere else.

So if any of the devs are reading this thread, please don't insult your users in this way. Rarbg eventually became my last resort for finding downloads since I knew I couldn't trust if anything was seeded, despite the high quality of the files that were represented when you could get them.
