Right, that would be a drinking game : )

I own REBOLCentral.org.  I'm going to let it lapse unless anyone 
thinks we should do something with it.

Oh a change of heart - good to hear.

Wow, just looked and my account here was created in November 21 2002, 
 Can't believe it has been that long.  Looks like a lot of us have 
been around here that long.

The last I heard about rebolcentral.org was that we were waiting 
for someone to come back from their honeymoon.

Jesus walk on the water
 ?!!???!!!?? Rebolish !!

Now I understand with BS was th most used group in this word (before 
BS-C).

with=why

Rebolish?

Rebolish : humor !

With a "rebolcentral.org" domain name, I was surprised to fall on 
this "Jesus walk on water" page.
Maybe "Rebol walk on the IT water" ??

I'm curious if anybody donated

Looks more like done by someone, who can not let pass up any chance 
to grab a dime from a fool.(

Many donate, but that is besides the point.

I own a lot of domain names, and many we simply forward to "somewhere". 
 Personal stuff I tend to forward to JWOW.


The big question is, do we keep this domain.  I will release if no 
one wants to use it.  Otherwise I will pay to keep it and donate 
it to anyone here who has a good use for it (and WILL use it).

But why did you register that name?

It was intended for a user based REBOL site for teaching etc from 
my recollection ...

It was intended to be a single place that would simply list all known 
REBOL resources.

this explain registering,  but the name

, but not the name

a single place with all rebol resources
 does not explain why it's called "rebolcentral"?

What exactly is rebolcentral? A regular hosted account?  Or do you 
have shell access and can run daemons etc?

Right now it is a name.

Sqlab, I did not follow your point, or question perhaps...

JesusWalksOnWater.com does not sound like a name for a central rebol 
repository.
Maybe I do not get the joke.

I think RebolCentral is a great domain name to point to a centrally 
hosted open source repository

So we speak about different names/pages.

Anton, there is no content on rebolcentral.org ... so Reichart just 
forwards it to jesuswalks as a joke.

bad joke

Nothing new or original.  Not a joke either - he uses the link for 
defamation.

I agree, bad joke. As whole book where this bad joke comes from.

Graham, not a joke, simply a process.  To call it a joke implies 
forethought

Graham, not a joke.  It is simply grouped by process.  A joke would 
imply there was forethought, then it could be a good or bad joke. 
 Since it is not a joke in the first place, it can't be good, or 
bad.


But, sure am glad that the real question on the table, the name itself, 
is being skipped here...would hate for anyone to actually address 
something of substance, but hey, look a shiny object LOL

I think it's a bad joke. The setting is not bad, people don't usualy 
walk on water, but then what? Does he catch some fish with bare hands? 
Or is there someone passing by, telling him "you can't walk on water" 
and after he realizes that, he sinks down? No, nothing. There's no 
punch line. Sorry, bad joke.

:)

The bright side is the Lord (the one that walks on water) will be 
saving Reichart some day.

But the "real" question is, are going to save REBOLCentral.org?

You mean you didn't get enough donations form the site button?  LOL.

This is not about money, but about "group effort".

Let it lapse. If we decide we need it again, we can pick it up. If 
someone else picks it up, we'll use another name.

Several people have now posted to me privately that they would like 
to do something with it, which is cool, I will keep it for them...

do you own the Jesuswalksonwater domain?  And if so, do you use the 
donations to fund rebol development?  :)

I do own JWOW, I do not use the donation for REBOL development, the 
only connection they have is we route all domains to one place.

So, you use the money to fund the Christian Jihad ?

Would you like to take this to BS?

My take on rebolcentral.org - it is not a joke, but a blatant nonsense. 
I own rebol.cz for the same purpose, but in the meantime I am forwarding 
it to rebolweek at least.

Pekr, you have such a way with words...

I am aware what I said and with what attitude. I am used to be direct 
and stright, and I know that some ppl might have problem with my 
behavior. I got to such "state" with the work overload, which is 
not good, I know. But the less time I have, the faster I need to 
make my decisions, not having time for BS. So - your REBOL related 
domain redirection is really a bad move, no matter what. I do remember, 
how Amiga Inc. tried to protect their TM, so I wonder what would 
Carl say to above mentioned link. As a joke - OK, but other than 
that, I would not do it myself, from various reasons. And that is 
what I expect from others ...

Pekr, don't defend yourself, you are simply one of those people that 
justifies abhorrent behavior, 


And, of course we disagree, the more sites that refer to REBOL, and 
the more sites that can be used to direct people the better.  


And AGAIN, this has nothing to do with the link redirector, but rather 
the link itself.  And this has nothing to do with asking "daddy" 
his thoughts, it has to do with the link itself, it has nothing to 
do with some grand scheme.  You seem to "often" miss the issue on 
the table, and get sidetracked by some shiny object.

Well it seems that  a lot of  you have a problem with the use of 
rebolcentral.org.  It only puts a disdain on REBOL, and I'm surprise 
that Carl would even favor the use of the name REBOL in such a manner 
even if he were an athiest.

Ah, often, right? I gave you an example - if you want to be usefull, 
you could as well point that domain to sites like rebol.org or rebolweek, 
so you defense of your motives does not work either. Besides that, 
then also other ppl here expressing the weirdness of linking of rebolcentral.org 
to JWOW are sidetracted, right ...

Paul - exactly ...

...It is like when you buy a gift for a 3 year old, and they want 
to play with the box...
