What do you think about a Cryptography Board?
« on: January 28, 2014, 07:35:42 am »
Hey guys,
     I wasn't sure where to put this, besides the "Request a Board" topic area where I wasn't able to start a new topic, but what do you guys think of starting a Cryptography board? Along with Cryptography, and all it's different forms, it could cover Cryptology, Cryptanalysis, ect. People could post Crypto related news and talk about the mathematics involved. I know we have a Anonymity board, which is great, but I think Cryptography deserves it's own. Idea's, comments, suggestions?

I could be mistaken, but I think that might be implemented in the new EZ. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Old evilzone will not change until Evilzone 3.0 is released. And quite frankly even if we make the board, there won't be much people posting. It's easy for you to request a board, but who will actually populate it?

How exactly can you predict the frequency and population of a board that doesn't exist? I mean, maybe the people that are not interested in cryptography, might not post, but how can they ever come to like something that's unavailable to them, you know?

He's just saying that nothing will change until the new EZ is implemented.

I've been a member for a long time and during that time I noticed trends and activity, also knowing how our community works, I can safely say just that. It's been done few times, trust me. A sudden appearance of a board will not suddenly make people post stuff there - that's my point.

Yes and no.  This has been discussed before by Xires and other admins.  Basically it's a "wait and see" kind of approach.  If we get enough feedback requesting one, we will try one out in Alpha/EZ 3.0

I think it's a good idea, would love to read a cryptography forum and learn new maths.
