I almost felt I should post in Introduce Yourself, but I guess this would be a better place.
I am just popping in to say I'm back, in case anyone is interested in catching up. I'll answer any questions or concerns, personal or professional, people might have.
All I ask is just--please--No Shyfts.
Thank you,
Taylor
If I remember correctly, I was still going under the name of Illuminations the last time I saw you, so you missed the whole strange phase I went through. But nothing really happened; I'm just the same person you may have known before.
Ah.
I thought I recognized the Avatar, but I did not know the name. Now that makes sense. Weird that you changed one but not the other. But, I guess I did too at one point.
Hm... you have a law saying everyone on here will be banned when time approaches infinity? I guess I'm not really worried about it because my craziness factor seems to be kinda low, but I suppose it makes sense...
I would like to introduce my own forum rule, similar to Godwin's. I am not sure it was done before, but it very well might have. (If not I would like to call it Connor's Law... or Soron's Law )
Soron's Law
Probability of Being Banned (or PoBB) = SUM(i=n, f*t) of [((f*t)!/(i!*(f*t-i)!))*c^i*(1-c)^(f*t-i)]
f= Frequency of Posting (see your profile) c= "Craziness Factor." Which is the % chance that any one of your given posts will receive an infraction. This number is based on which forum/site your posting on, and your mental health. Also: 0<c<1 for any and all members. This number can change as time progresses. t= Time. Make sure its in the same units as f. (Days for this site) n= Number of infractions necessary to be banned.
i= index holder for n
For this site the equation becomes a little more complex because you need consecutive infractions to get a "permanent point" and N permanent points to be banned.
MtGS Soron's Law:
Probability of Being Banned on Salvation = SUM(j=N, T*f) of {((f*T)!/(j!*(f*T-j)!))*PoBB^j*(1-PoBB)^(f*t-j))} or {(1-(1-S)^T)}
j is just an index.
For this equation, t only includes non-suspended time and has a upper limit of the time it takes an infraction to expire, T includes all time. S is the "Stupidness Factor." Which the the % chance you will do something stupid while suspend or otherwise and get auto banned. There is some evidence of a positive correlation between S and c, and they have the same properties. (0<S<1 for any and all members. This number is also based on your mental health. )
As you can see, as: time ->infinity
then
(The Probability of any Given Member Becoming Banned) -> 1
So, the written form of Soron's Law becomes: As time increases, the probability of an active member becoming banned approaches one.
For those of you that don't like binomial theory, this pile of crap math should be easier to understand:
Ban=(c*P)/n
Ban is proportional to The Probably of Getting Banned.
c= how crazy the person is.
P=how many posts they make
n=number of posts needed for a ban
The two factors that increase the probability of being banned are number of posts, and how much you 'walk the line.' Which is EXACTLY the same thing that increase your chances of being NOTABLE.
So, notable members have a MUCH better chance of being banned.(<-Soron's Second Law)
When my crazy factor was getting to the point I knew I was likely to be banned, I had someone change my password and not ask for it back for ~2 years. I don't know if it really worked or not, however. Now that I've graduated we will see if my crazy factor went up or down; hard to say.
Yet, I did notice many of my old acquaintances did not do anything to ward against the law, and now are no longer here.
Physics? Wow, that sounds like a difficult subject. Congrats!
(I know I've seen you before you left, but I don't remember where you posted mostly... or maybe we just had a small conversation somewhere in Water Cooler Talk on something.)

Aww. Okay. Fine. Forevermore Soron is put to rest.
Sorry if that was painful.

Btw, congrats on graduating!
However, if you what to talk more casually about it here, I am open to the idea.
I'm glad at least one person cares.
No one ever does.
And I'll add another congrats on graduating! What did you get your degree in?

However, I am also unsure.
