Do you understand the difference between owning a forum and running it? u/spez isn’t moderating /r/bioware. This isn’t about who should own these forums, but how they should be run.

No way. Forums should never be run by the people the forum is discussing, for the same reason that newspapers should never be government-owned.

It depends on the mechanisms that govern atomic arrangements, doesn’t it? If we have infinite time, and infinite space, and if it was an (essentially) random process, then sure. On a long enough timescale, the probability of that arrangment approaches 1. But I don’t think those are the circumstances that we’re dealing with.

Be active in your community, whether that be online or off. People do notice you, even if you’re not sociable.
