He left? For real?

That's one of the happiest days in my life. Finally /sci/ is free of his worst cancer. No more stupid and uneducated role playing threads and no more idiots mistaking scientific research for a colorful disney adventure. Finally we can discuss actual science and math on /sci/ and we can hope for the underageb&s to reduce their shitposting to homework threads.

Yes, that's a GOOD development. MadSci was a highly negative influence, since he shitposted his seabro NONSENSE. We're NEVER going to 'colonize the ocean'. That's a highly immature fantasy like any superhero or D&D daydream. Reading /sci/ with MadSci posting here was like reading one of the back issues of fucking OMNI magazine. Totally sophomoric. It made the board pointless and unreal, and so you might as well just go watch your "Firefly" DVD set again for all the fucking good it will do you.

He won't be missed. We DO need to flush out the crazy morons here who believe that scifi and other uneconomic CRAP can actually become real, given the clear facts about the end of the PETROLEUM AGE. The future belongs to Kunstler, not MadSci. The longer we deny that, the harder we're all going to fall.

They are even less tolerable. The /new/fags are just opinionated idiots or trolls and easily ignored. The pop sci and sci fi retards have a lot of bullshit misconsptions regarding science and they won't stop spamming the shit out of this board. Also most of the /new/fags left to /pol/ because they realized that /pol/ is a better place for their shit than /sci/. The sci fi retards on the other hand actually believe they belong here and even increase their shitposting when being told to leave to other boards.

I've mostly kept visiting on inertia. I'm thinking of leaving and then advertising /sci/ on every teenage board and forum as THE place to ask for help on math- and science-related problems.

Then I'll spam atheismshit at every fundiesite ever and tell them to reply here.

If /sci/ is so hell-bent on going to utter shit, might as well help it do so with a bang.

Don't give them attention and they won't namefag. If you really want to snub them, don't reply to any posts with a name field that says anything other then 'Anonymous'.

Additionally, the only thing I post about on this board is transhumanism and I've never been banned for it or told to GTFO.

How is it not important? It helps people to understand where you're coming from, and makes it easier to determine whether you know what you're talking about. For example if I were posting in a physics thread, I would clarify that I am not a physicist. Unless you plan to masquerade I don't see what the big deal is about revealing your field.
