So, the other day somebody figured out how to exploit the LaTeX math script on 4chan's /sci/ board. This exploit allowed them to alter the background of the website to any tiled image they wished. I couldn't resist the temptation, and proceeded to create a Carl Sagan appreciation thread, complete with Carl Sagan background. Unfortunately, my use of the script caused my post to be automatically flagged later, and my IP address was banned for 30 days. I can't figure out how to change my global IP address, so after spending the last 48 hours or so attempting various methods of doing that, I finally gave up and decided to just find another science/math messageboard to visit. This was the first one that came up on Google.
So hi! I'm Elen. I'm currently going to university, pursuing undergraduate degrees in physics and math; I intend on going to a bigger university later to pursue a graduate degree in astronomy or astrophysics, probably at the university of Minneapolis or the university of Chicago. Even though I'm really good at math and science, I also enjoy a number of right-brained subjects, like linguistics, poetry, and photography.
Hopefully this forum is active and full of intelligent people and enlightening discussions.
