I'm curious as to when this name started because I don't recall a thread mentioning it :p
Anyone got a link to the original comments about [23] or was it one of those weird folklore stories that you tell your kids about but no-one knows where they started (like the one about Sun'Ra being a giant space hamster)?

Someone mention the forums are controlled by 23 frequent poster who decide which thread lives or dies. Ever since then more then 23 posters are claiming membership.

None of which are actually members ofc. Everybody knows that members of the secret elite never reveal their membership. Unless they trying to through you off their trail because they know that you'll think that members of the secret elite never reveal their membership.

The only reason you know that is because you have already successfully infiltrated them. Member #24 is definitely a mod

pffft, 23 people needed. In the old days all you needed was me, miso, j0sephine and JC in a thread and it was off track for good. Hell, only 2 of us would be sufficient.

Actually the true story about the 23 :
Once upon a time there was a finance guru who claimed to be able to turn 1 isk into 3, and he started the 1 to 3 concept.
However, one day he went to low sec space and got ganked. He lost everything he owned, but he was still able to get rich.
Hence, he removed the 1 and renamed the 1 to 3 concept into to 3. However, somewhere along the lines, someones secretary misunderstood it and wrote 23 instead of "to 3". The guy the secretary was working for decided to invest a lot of money in the finance guru, so the finance guru decided not to change it.
So the 23 is actually not forum related at all.
(the previously mentioned statements may not be 100% accurate)

Personally I think it was one of Derisors alts making the claim to have compiled a list of the 23 top forum *****s (which is what it seemed to boil down to anyhow) 
I still dunno if I'm a member or not

Yea, I don't have the link.
But someone was really ****ed about how some people(5, bob? :p) always keep hammering threads in the corp forum with off-topic posts until it's locked if it's a thread they don't like.
The guy said he had compiled a list of these 23 players who according to him control the forums.

Well, i gota take full credit for christening the name of "The 23"
Original Thread
The first time "the 23" is actually used as a name rather than a part of the subject, about halfway down and my first post in the thread.

Well damn interesting read that one, pity I missed it first time around ;)
Thanks peeps,
Er, you better lock this now since it's probably breaking a couple of rules... spam and linking to old threads!
cheers,

Control is such a strong word, I merely tilt a thread in a direction, sometimes it falls in the direct opposite, forum politics isn't an exact science.

In all truth I started the thread for fun. At no time were there really 23 "forum Police" Only about 19, or 14 forget the real number.
And yes I have been "talked" to about makeing such threads.
But it did its purpose at least it made me laugh.

I'm curious about two things. First, what was its "purpose", and second, did it do anything to sway your opinion about the people you had in mind?

There is no list. Those that are in it dont know they are and are only seen when let out. Seems that once there was a mishap and 15 had written in the same thread. CONFUSION to say the least. There is only one way to see the list is to ask a member who knows of the list which none do.
So the 23 live where they dont know whom to sell thier wares!
They dont know code if they did will they tell you!
--------------------------
Good thing PVP pilots dont do that! They are "initiating strategic military plans of aggression". They are not logging off to avoid an overwhelming fight! |
