END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

 

Posting that link to the Philosophy section got me looking through it.  Apparently roughly 2 1/2 years ago the same "complaint" was posted by the same person, with very similar reactions! : http://www.fractalforums.com/philosophy/too-many-philosophy/

I don't know why, but I find that quite amusing...

This isn't complaint. Is a notice for sustain fractals. I just like fractals and had fascinated by fractals when I'd child.
I wanting to ensure that forum working good, and the science of fractals working good.
Also I'm revolted that maths don't be appreciated in my country, and don't exist jobs as mathematician in my country.

Fascinating how different the perception of some things is. For me the internet is the best thing that ever happened to mankind - it enables us to instantly communicate and connect across the globe, bypass 'filtered information' of the old media or corporate greenwashing. we can start businesses from home, work from home, everyone, even the very poor now have access to all knowledge of mankind.
It levels the playing field.

I don't understand how you can call all this a sink of bullshit..
Of course there are timekillers. There have to be, after all theres EVERYTHING online.
Just like a huge percentage of TV is crap (or newspapers, or books, or ancient fairy tales) you always have to be selective, everyone is responsible for his own interests and what you 'consume'. (though we should teach our children better how to deal with these medias!!)

You don't need to participate in everything. I don't like facebook at all, worst timekiller. There are much better ones, like reddit or pinterest   not to forget fractal forums..
I don't see much of a difference between our image section and deviant art.
And our movie section wouldn't be possible without youtube.

There's always two sides of the coin.. I try to live happier by focussing on the 'right side' and just ignore the crap.

besides that: I don't see any of facebook, youtube, deviantart or whatever crap-arama-drama here.
It exists, but here at ff?  where? still waiting for a link.
(Or I've become too good in ignoring  the crap
Or, maybe I'm one of the producers of said crap and just don't realize it.  


@hgjf2:
I guess most of us share that fascination for fractals - that's probably why we're here.
But we all have different stories that led us to fractals. Mine was the beauty of them and the fact that they are all around in nature.
I'm actually revolted that this isn't appreciated worlkdwide, that there is no distinct field of studies for fractals, although they are very obviously omnipresent everywhere you look.
Something clearly is wrong.
Focussing on just the math of fractals or just focussing on trippy pictures and videos or how to generate them is - that in my opinion plays a major role why something is wrong.
It's exactly the other way around than you say.
Ignoring fractals in nature and the philosophical questions that they raise is what does the real, long term damage to fractals.
It is like just caring for basic quantum mechanics or physics and saying that all the universe that evolves from that is not worth mentioning.

my 2 cents..

(btw, ever noticed how we say "a penny for your thoughts" but when giving our opinion it's 2 cents, or even 3 our own opinion is worth double..)

Hi, I meant unmoderated places (which are the most). But, certainly this is not the main focus of this discussion, so we should stop here, I just wanted to make clear this one point.

Cheers!

That video has been approved by the moderators and they are trying to keep the forums clean from spam but we don't consider this to be spam. Then, we wouldn't even be able to have a nice contest if everything should be about mathematics.

I understood
I won't write nothing at this topic.
