/qa/ - Question & Answer

February 1 - Quote, in a "state of enlightened madness," announces a week-long experiment: all new threads on /soy/ must be written in the style of a 19th-century sea shanty. The first hour yields genuine, high-effort gems before devolving into incomprehensible, acronym-laden nonsense. The rule is amended to apply only to /sp/.

February 2 - A 'teen successfully "colonizes" a forgotten, phpBB-based gardening forum by slowly, over the course of a month, replacing all signature images with subtle 'jak variants. The forum's 60-year-old admin finally notices and bans him, posting a seething thread about "postmodern vandalism" that is immediately archived and celebrated as a gem.

February 3 - "Operation: Brimstone Blizzard" concludes. The month-long effort to produce the perfect cursed 'jak results in the creation of "Glowjak," a 'jak that uses CSS tricks to appear to vibrate at a different frequency than the rest of the page. It is unanimously declared a health hazard and banished to a private board.
