ok, so there is 2 "Projects"? What about the taking over the world, that was interesting, this underground thing is too, I'd be down to hook y'all up with the 411 on the scene in qattar if you would like...

To show opinions, to debate, to encourage people to explore different realms of thought. To experiment with what is accepted and what isn't. To help people to see things as more than just black and white.

A bit better Brandon?


so in essence, this is pertinent to political and social issues... i'm down with that.. but i was hoping for the fight club scenario... interesting to see how far this goes, and to see what heads would actual partake in it.

Taking over the world? Hardly.
Make an impact on the world? Again, nope.

Make one or two people think about this, then Pay It Forward - That's my goal.

Anyway, The Project has really sparked my interest and i'd like it if you’d consider letting me in on it.


J Self B. Contact me for the website.
I don't care how "new" you are to RB. If you are interested in this, that is all I care about.

That's fine by me. This is not for everyone. Goodbye.

Er, surely a main trait of what you're meant to be going against?

I dunno, just seems reasonable for one to know more before getting into it. Unless you're looking for sheep...anyone Welsh?

I know i've said it before. But i think a short, rough manifesto is in order. Just a suggestion, like...

By the way, i do think it's a good idea of sorts. A bit 'pipe dream' like, but hey, as stated before, such things have come off in the past. Even if only to make a small wave or two which have displaced a few tuna fishes.


Look at how many people were intrigued with the idea that wasn’t even defined. Those people read the base of ‘stuff isn’t right in the world. Let’s talk about that more’ and said ok. That’s what I like. It’s a willingness and wanting to do something.

Goals? Policy? That’s for everyone involved to figure out. That’s for the individual person to find. ‘What matters to me?’.

Timeless 02-09-04 09:13 AM

lost me after the first line. but some nice idea none the less!!

(What I find amazing is I say I'd be down with this, yet I have so much to say against it. I find this peculiuar to say the least.)


I am in the same best. My part is already done.
I have nothing to change in the world. I have nothing to say even.
I like to make people think, and I think I’ve already done that. Only reason I’m still involved is because of everyone else.

What am I going to use it for? If you have to know that much, forget it.


You are very correct. But anyone intrigued by this and has “signed up” did so for a reason. It was already answered. I am not asking anyone to give their life, money or anything else. Just their opinions.

Evolve 02-09-04 12:08 PM

My name wasn't mentioned as one of the "Intelligent" RB members, so i am gonna have to pass.

Kry-O-Gene-X 02-09-04 12:51 PM

hmm..let me see...my hacking skills are a bit mediocre..but a lil time given..and I can hack into almost anything..I pratice alot on people's names..perhaps people have heard of Blackplanet.com..it's an african american site, and I hack into alot of people's name..take over their page, read their notes,nothing serious. But the person that is teaching me how to do it is a real expert.He's been teaching me a few tricks,but..ehh..it takes time to learn..

You see, what makes it so funny,rb members are the easiest computers to hack into..why you asked?..because in every single post, their IP address is posted.The IP address is the gateway into someone's pc. For example, Evolve's IP address is D79C 2834. That is the key directly into his computer.All I have to do is place the IP address into a certain place,and after I reboot his pc from my pc, I will then place a small worm into his programs, feeding all of his info into my computer.

There are alternate ways to do this also,while Im still trying to figure out how to hack while on aim,. Im fairly good in doing it on yahoo.I will simply send you a message, and once you reply I enter in a "code" and put your name in the right place, and BOOM!..I've hacked your computer.I havent tried in a while because the person teaching me havent been on in a while.But Im down if you guys need anything;)

Lokinator 02-09-04 01:20 PM

yoo`ve told me aboot this and i say i`m down like a clown. .

but some of these people do not hold the `knowledge` aboot the desired field

there is no spoooon

Hey, hacking genius, when have you EVER known there to be that many digits in an IP addy? Or even.. letters? The fact that there are letters displayed in the IP should be a fucking clue that those are not real fucking IP addresses.

You're not a hacker, I'm afraid.

You're not even a scriptie at best.

And I bet you think trojans are a condom brand.

varentao 02-09-04 06:13 PM

Self - Maybe one could attract the more sceptical if one presented more up front. Or cynics that are selective aboot what they read (especially something as long as that). Spectics/cynics are needed too, aint they? They could provide the essence to the project.

Though i can take yer point if you're targeting a certain 'demographic'. It's a good enough way of going about it.

Oh, i aint complaining or nothing. Just trying to be constructive. I support this kind of stuff (well, generally..)..

Koalatee 02-09-04 06:19 PM

^ Kind sir, I desire cynics to the umpteenth degree in whatever endeavor we may pursue. However, I don't want to go so overboard that it becomes another, clichéd-out 'f the government' rant. Really, I'm searching for a happy median between the aforementioned anti-government sentiment & watered-down criticism. It's really quite the fine line to walk, though. If you really want to get in depth, let me know. . But, we need writers for just about any topic of interest imagineable. Peace

self 02-09-04 06:23 PM

Don't speak to "me". PM me if you want the board, other than that, my part is done.

varentao 02-09-04 06:37 PM

Yeah, i mean cynic isn't automatically going to go down that path. If anything, a cynic is usually more constructive than someone who's in 'no man's land', in between. A certain amount of cynicism is usually good.

For instance, i've known The End to post some very well balanced opinions. Yet he has his cynical side. Same goes for Bounce. Necromancer. And many more...

I guess someone like the 'editor' will have to see if it's suitable or not. A bitter rant or a weak whisper of protest. Or a fairly well balanced criticism of something or the other. It'll be interesting...

...though i still support a basic manifesto being posted up. But hey, tis all motion.

Koalatee 02-09-04 06:40 PM

Unfortunately, these interested parties (well-timed cough) are not going the extra mile & requesting links / signing up. :rolleyes:

varentao 02-09-04 06:46 PM

Heh. Give us a manifesto to devour. Basic, to the point. Rough if need be. And we'll churn it out our *ahem* in the form of a link request and sign up. Or not.

Still, i think this is a relatively good thread either way. To discuss methods of doing things to 'make a change' of some sorts. Or to communicate ideas. Stuff like that..

..even political structures and revolutions!

Daz 02-09-04 06:48 PM

If im down...does that mean i IM you self? for details and ish?

I want in.

Daz 02-09-04 06:59 PM

yes and Pay it forward is a very good movie and idea

Koalatee 02-09-04 07:06 PM

At the request of Varentao. .

I hope to do a few things: By the end of this very week, in time for our timely four-day weekend, I hope to amass a well - rounded 'staff' of sorts, & even begin basic operations. Unfortunately, such a task will require amassing, quantitatively, a fairly large group of contributors. I will need writers, an editor or two, web designers, marketing geniuses, etc.

At this point in time, bearing possession of a tempermental pro-board, I hope to utilize said forums to organize and deploy our staff into their given occupation(s). Somehow, we need to purchase a full-scale website, that, with the help of web-savvy contributors, can be molded to an 'online newspaper.' I will look to publish bi-weekly editions of our paper, & advertise vigorously.

There are an abundance of options, all depending on a few common denominators. These denominators being aspects such as participation, funding and interest. . Quite the rough draft, I admit - but, with the right people, I'm sure we can make it work.

Specificially, I'm hoping for the likes of: varentao, Necromancer, bounce, Lethargic, DGR, 'tik, Mad Man, The End, etc. along with our current members to join & work in unison. Admittedly, it'll take time & effort - but, let me reiterate, we can make it work.

AIM: RalphsBagels . Peace, all.

Warren 02-09-04 07:17 PM

I'd be up for that. I can write like a motherfucker. Send the specs to me and i'll see what I can do for you.

varentao 02-09-04 07:23 PM

I'm a peasant. A tramp. A pauper..

..so couldn't contribute financially.

Apart from that, if you can use me here and there. To contribute bits of writing in the odd place. Then so be it. PM me the link?

Lethargic 02-09-04 07:24 PM

Warren is a friend of mine from school. He'll do the site justice. He tends to have very abstract views on things.

Jae Cyph 02-09-04 07:32 PM

Hackers = Lawsuit = RB = Dead.

What an ass..that wasn't cool..you blew my whole cover..I was going to do a study on how people were treated being a dope noob..or a wack vet..and it would have been cool..but I have a good feeling about the Project..consider me good to go..and to EZ..no hard feelings..I just wanted to see what would happen if I was utterly disrespectful..i wuv u tho.. :thumbup:

Kosta 02-10-04 12:39 AM

the world is the world. what good is a revolution? what good is informing people in the first place? who gives a shit, i know that i don't .. i live my life the way that i choose to live it. the goverment has already controlled my life, and all of possesions, and even my thoughts. there is no use, there is a monster, but he will never die. you are two kids on a fucking rap site trying to revolutionize the world? step back to reality.

even hip hop .. fuck it, i don't care anymore. people can listen to whatever they want to, i will listen to what i like.

by attempting to inform people of the 'so called 'truth' ' we would simply be reversing the role that was the original blueprint for the society we live in today. just rolling the wheel to start the shit over, even though we'd never be successful . therefore this entire thought is nonsense babble.
