Phi for All Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I wonder if this website belongs to a University, Centre or Company (Public or Private?). Thanks I've been told the site is privately owned by a conglomerate of hyper-intellegent pan-dimensional beings. The truth of this, while constantly being questioned, is nevertheless quite unquestionably possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapifo Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 It is only a normal question...to understand better the funccioning of it...and also the objective of it. It is the first time that any moderator is aswering....(???)...the question was for them...but possible at this hours they are resting. Will see the answers tomorrow.

Ophiolite Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I wonder if this website belongs to a University, Centre or Company (Public or Private?).

zapatos Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Is the ownership information about this site confidential, or is everyone just having fun? Maybe both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Dave owns the server, blike owns the domain name, and either Dave or I own the license for the forum software. Ownership is sort of distributed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zapatos Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well that's just boring, unless the three of you are pan dimensional beings. Yeah, I was hoping for a little more intrigue. Maybe the NSA or MI5. Unless of course Cap'n's avatar is really just a photograph of him. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) It is only a normal question...to understand better the funccioning of it...and also the objective of it. In the ScienceForums.Net Forum Rules it is stated that: Section 1: Purpose Statement ScienceForums.net is dedicated to providing a forum for the discussion of all things scientific with the highest degree of integrity and respectability. We aim to provide all individuals, regardless of their education level, a forum to express their ideas and love of science. Dave owns the server, blike owns the domain name, and either Dave or I own the license for the forum software. Ownership is sort of distributed. Maybe we should have an official statement about ownership and such in a dedicated section, inside the Forum Rules.

swansont Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well that's just boring, unless the three of you are pan dimensional beings. Does it help at all if DAVE is actually D.A.V.E. and this is the third Cap'n Refsmmat we've had? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Does it help at all if DAVE is actually D.A.V.E. and this is the third Cap'n Refsmmat we've had? That's excluding those Cap'ns who broke down while they were still in the warranty period. It is the first time that any moderator is aswering....(???)...the question was for them...but possible at this hours they are resting. Moderators are all volunteers, so we are online only when we have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joatmon Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 This is a serious observation. This site attracts ideas from young fertile minds. Most of the ideas can be disregarded for various reasons. Perhaps they are not novel; perhaps they are misguided; perhaps they are even ridiculous. However, now and again perhaps an idea arises they may be of benefit in some way. It may trigger a chain of events that benefit mankind or make some business concern a lot of money. I can see more than one reason for a site such as this and so can see that the question of who owns it and why it exists might arise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are both trying to hide the secret Rank-1 capncrunch account that was created during the intergalactic upgrade crisis, mid July 2010 Earth time.

mississippichem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 We calculate that by 2037 Cap'n Refsmmat version 7.6 will actually become self-aware ushering in a Terminator style technological singularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapifo Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) I'll sell my stake to the highest bidder I buy it !!!!...how much ???...we see and talk...out of the web !!! Dave owns the server, blike owns the domain name, and either Dave or I own the license for the forum software. Ownership is sort of distributed. OK..OK...Thanks...I see this web belogs to three private persons with nonprofit objective (Unless that appears a good opportunity), and with some volumteers collaborators. That´s all !!!!...I only wanted to know it. Because I thought that it belonged (as other science webs) to Universities or Other kind of Science organization. I don´t ask it to all the webs, only to that I use to use...because normally it didn´t appear in any place of the web. And the other 4 web I ask it (1 USA, 1 English, and 2 Spanish) ... they belong to particular persons like this one (!!!). I think it could be interesting to tell it in the Principal Page.

dapifo Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 $1billion USD. Final offer OK...It is clear that you have a very good position in the Google search (2nd if you looking for "science forum")...go on with your job...and congratulations for it !! I only hope to be able to have interesting discussions and coversations about science topics...with you and with your members and users. Usually, It is something difficult to have them in the regular sociial life outside the university and research centers. I hope this forum (..and others) could be a window for me to the intellectual and scientific discussions, in a a pleasant and amusing way, but also in a educated and serious way.
