META THREAD 3 - Still learning the new codes
RULES 2016 EDITION
1. Obey global rules
2. Keep things related to history and its study.
2a. History, for the purposes of this board, covers pre-History and all events up to the fall of the Soviet Union. Further than that and it's considered political discussion or discussion of modern events- take it to /pol/ or /b/.
3. If lewd images must be posted, do so on spoilers. Consider if it wouldn't be better posted elsewhere.
3-a. If you're in doubt whether it's lewd enough to spoiler, err on the side of caution and do it.
GUIDELINES- not quite rules, but good to follow for good posting
1. Check the catalog before posting to see if a thread may already be available for your discussion.
1a. Avoid making threads expecting people to just do your homework for you. Show some work yourself in starting the discussion instead of just "guys what was the main reason for the fall of Sebastianism in the 19th century"
2. Be prepared to present good sources for anything you claim, especially if you come here to posit opinions you know are controversial.
3. This not being 4chan, we don't want to limit what you can post about. That said, we'd like posts to be of a good quality level, and related to history. If your post contains nothing more than >IMPLYING NIGGERS HAD A CULTURE, consider if you aren't better off in /pol/.
4. If you have any problem with the moderation here, or suggestions, please post them here instead of making a thread for it (not really historical-related) or making one in whatever board about /meta/ discussion is being used nowadays (I don't even know!)
In other words, don't be a dumbass. This board works fine with a semi-absent BO and a bunch of mods who delete CP bots. Don't ruin it.
(want to post banners, do so here too)

Historical memes/shitposting/anonymity
The whole "Rome was built on the backs of shitposters" threads on /his/ and /v/ got me thinking, do we have any other examples of imageboard-esque culture and memes throughout history that are similar to the ones today? It's hilarious and awe-inspiring to see how people from different times and cultures throughout all human existence often had a lot of things in common if you look deep enough.
I sometimes wonder if there was a historical equivalent of baneposting.

Homework: The Great Balloon Debate
You are all important historical figures. Your hot air balloon is sinking, and you need to get rid of some extra weight if we are to remain in the air. You will be making a case (as an individual from history) why you should remain in the balloon.
Your homework is to research an individual that you would like to argue for. When choosing your individual, you will need to consider:
Why are they important?
What have they done to improve society?
Remember - it will not necessarily be the most obvious candidate that has the most convincing argument!

The Money Masters
Calling attention to this documentary, which sets out to tell the history of private central banking in America. It documents the different ways it can be established, the tools it uses for control, how it took over America, after most of the world. And it presents the alternatives that have been repeatedly suppressed by international banking cartels for hundreds of years.
Big props to Bill Still for making this. He still makes videos on his YT channel on a regular basis (he supports Trump btw).

poems
why was every story in the ancient world written as a poem? was there some reason it all had to rhyme, or was that just the best way to kill time or something. did people writing non-fiction, like Thucydides and aristotle, write in some rhyming verse?
