Archived: RogueSci

[The Savage]

Rogue science is down - "This Account Has Been Suspended". It's been almost a day since I noticed it so I'm guessing it's not just a tech problem. Anyone know what's going on?

Another typically crappy site died?

Damn, hope they're back up soon. That place has some great information.

Sure, there were a few gems in the FTP if you didn't DL a file that had a trojan in it, but overall there wasn't anything fantastic on the site. Case in point if you went to their firearms section and gunsmithing sections, they had jackshit other than questions about how to convert something to full-auto which were often unanswered or answered with incorrect information.

Above all, I'd actually classify the majority of the members as anti-science and doing nothing more than discussing hypothetical things that wouldn't work in the real world. Very few actually posted a lab report with a detailed enough procedure section to actually gain something useful from reading the report.

Overall, it was a hilarious site to read because of the moronic ideas and watching the banning of people for no apparent reason.

While a lot of it was corrupted by kewls and such... there are still some really great old threads there... I remember a "whats your favorite primary explosive" thread that was full of tons of interesting primaries... That might have been the thread that started the nitrotetrazole threads... both at RS and SMDB...

In regards to the FTP... I never messed around to get access... but if your just downloading .pdfs... how do you get a trojan?

I agree though that now it is mostly kiddiots asking the same retarded questions over and over... and more people giving retarded answers.

I was going to make an effort to actually start posting there... but never really got around to it... what with classes... now modding here... trying to spend less time on the computer... etc...

I do hope it comes back though... as well as dererumomnis.org / a0tu... I haven't heard from the dererumomnis dude in a long time.

It isn't clear yet. Mega is maintaining silence, so all we have are our theories.

Thanks, I'll be sure to download that next time I have good internet. Hope you guys are back soon, there was always an interesting read on the forums

[The Savage]

Thanks for the reply, chaac.

Demonoid isn't accepting new members, is their and other way to download it?

[InspiredByMe]

Thanks chaac for the torrent, even after we shat on your forum lulz. I'm guessing it was something with the law, but if the site comes back with all the new sections that have been promised that would be awesome.

still no one knows nothing?

[chaac]

There have been no developments.

[Unholy Batman]

man, this is worse then a cliff hanger in lost.. or WoW servers going down. Granted, it took me 3 weeks to notice, but still.

As many of you have noticed, roguesci.org has been down for some
time. Myself (Chaac) and another moderator (Mr. Science) have
decided that the time has come to take action, and to begin anew.
We have created a temporary board to organize members.

The URL is http://rstemp.1.forumer.com/

This is on a free host, and it is just being used for the sake of getting
everyone together. There will be no E&W or related chemistry
discussion on the temporary board. Once we have everyone organized,
we will be opening a new site aimed at filling the void roguesci
has left behind. However, we will also now be allowing formerly
unallowed subjects such as pharmacology. The new site will be
generally be aimed more towards chemistry than explosives
specifically. If you were a member on roguesci, or were interested
in the subjects, I would like to encourage you to join the new
board.

I will post the new forum link when it is online, which will be within a week.

[InspiredByMe]

Good idea, maybe you can filter out the kewls and kidiots.

[13579]

Good to know it's not just going to die. Curious on what happened though...

Well, Phrixus won't let you view the explosive side of things unless you have a background in chemistry or electronics - so much for a RogueSci replacement .

I have no intentions of spending years learning chemistry (a subject which for the most part I'm not that interested in) just so i can be considered a "contributing member" and be granted access to the phrixus forum. So what are the options for people who want a RogueSci-like site?

Or am I going to have to just use RS torrents, Patents and trial-and-error (that's sure to be fun )

[asilentbob]

If your wanting to make explosives without any real understanding of them... try rotteneggs?

Rotteneggs is fail. Maybe the ACB could help him

[Dark-Morningstar]

I assume the restriction on access to the energetics and pharma forums is a sort of high-grade kewl filter. If they don't already know you're useful, or at least not a retard or chemically-inept mishap, then you don't get to go where you'd be asking dumb questions.

I think Mega was considering something like that for a while, or it was brought up in one of the "forum suggestions" threads. Not such a bad idea, really, though on the face of it it's a severe annoyance. Not that I had much of a post count on RS - 100 or so, was mostly a lurker - but it does mean that reading is restricted.

Ah well. Not exactly a hardship to build up a decent S/N ratio and ask for access. We'll see.

Chaac: has anyone heard from Mega at all?

O my god.......!!!!!!! Can it be for true and for sure?!

I'm totally stoked. Though, I would like to see if anyone else has heard of anything yet? I mean it is a bit weird, doesn't quite seem like mega, but I'm overjoyed by the occasion.

I wanna know what the fuck happened over there before i go back, for all we know the new one will be run by feds.

[jbvenom777]

phrixus still looks down from "spam and hacking attempts" for about a week now.
what is going on?
