Powder Toy is a Communist State! :D

    I noticed that the model of power in successful forums seems to be a communist model. I always recognized the proportions I just never noticed the similarities to George Orwell's model of Oceania's population(remember the pyramid?). In this case, myself and the majority of those reading this are the Proles(Proletariats), the fewer moderators are the Outer Party, and Simon is the Inner Party(not Big Brother). There's not really any real reason for posting this, I was bored and noticed this.

    NOTE: I am aware: Powder Toy forums and other forums characteristically do not just randomly permaban people who speak out against the leaders, as is done in many communist states. That there's more to communism than 1984, so don't troll me. That these are basic similarities.

    Similarities can be said about other sites. As long as this thread doesn't get into a flame war against Simon or anyone else to be over thrown. Because it's impossible to overthrow a site and server owner for a new one.

    I wouldn't. Anyway, I'm signing off for the night. Don't have to go into school in the morning. It's actually a shame because I wanted to find out more information about the kid who was impaled upon a javelin today.
