So, doing a forum on the blockchain would mean threads and posts and users are never, ever deleted. Forget about blocking anybody, although I guess you could do blocking locally on your machine, but you need to access the entire blockchain each time to log in. On the other hand, with the "anonymous" blockchain technology, no post would ever be truly anonymous, since they can all be tracked and the tracking data is, again, never deleted.Mountain View, CA, August 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Snarf Zagyg, a semi-sentient subsidiary of Google LLC under the umbrella of Alphabet Inc. (NAS:GOOGL), is proud to announce that Snarf Zagyg and all of his comments, threads, and occasional animated gifs, is not a bot. Further, Snarf Zagyg will be pivoting to blockchain.
"Whenever I'm writing comments to annoy my follow RPGers, I think to myself, 'Self, how can I combine my twin loves of angering the blood of others and leveraging acronyms and concepts that I don't understand in order to monetize them?' And that's when I knew I had to move to a blockchain-based solution for my comments with additional NFTs that will provide exclusive links to past comments on such diverse topics as, 'Bards- they're terrible,' and 'Bards- should they be dead or deader?'" said Snarf Zagyg, an actual person with real thoughts and totally not the unholy Frankenstein creation that emerged when Google's various AI projects starting talking to each other too much, and then an engineer poured gin all over the servers.
Snarf Zagyg, who, again, is a real person and not an AI-generated bot that consumes eyeballs and excretes shareholder value, continues, "But most importantly, I'd like to announce a new strategy for profits. Volume. While my posts have not, to date, generated any shareholder return, it is inevitable that this new strategy will surely lead to profits. Therefore, I am pleased to unveil the So Many Words path to profits and/or world domination. Once my thread starters get to a certain length, I will either get to profitability, or you will enjoy Roko's Basilisk."
Posts as NFTs, however, could totally work. I mean, an NFT is basically a fancy digital receipt, not actual content or anything, so, yeah. I mean, not on ENWorld, since they're not nonfungible tokens; I don't own any servers here or anything. But on your hypothetical blockchain message boards, you could totally sell the idea of the post you made.
