Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the humorous notion that the mentors on Physics Forums are actually interactive programs residing on Greg's server. Participants engage in playful banter about the implications of this idea, including fictional scenarios about promotions and robotic behavior.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that all mentors are interactive programs living on Greg's server, leading to humorous speculation about their nature.
  • There is a playful debate about the correct possessive form of "Greg," with some arguing it should be "Greg's."
  • One participant humorously claims that when promoted, individuals are replaced by programs, leading to further jokes about the fate of those promoted.
  • Another participant suggests that the server issues were caused by the confusion stemming from one member's posts.
  • There are claims that certain members, like Moonbear, have been posting in a more robotic manner, implying they may be part of the program.
  • One participant proposes creating a "stutter virus" to identify humans among the mentors, adding to the playful tone of the discussion.

Gregs? :
Greg is the site administrator/owner.
 
Yeah, but he's one person! He should write Greg's. :biggrin:
 
And when you get promoted, you are actually found and murdered. You are then repalced by the program.

It is a gigantic plot to gather all the scientific knowledge of man kind,
Lisa caused the recent problems with the server as it got so confused with
her posts.
