Spec Evo videos

The Future is Wild: The Future is Wild was a 2003 "documentary", which used computer-generated imagery to show what life might look like in the future after millions of years of evolution. This series was accompanied by a book written by geologist and author Dougal Dixon and television producer John Adams.

Alien Planet: Alien Planet was a 2005 mockumentary, which used computer-generated imagery to show what life might look like on an Alien Planet called Darwin IV. This documentary was inspired by a book written by artist and author Wayne D. Barlowe.

Blue Moon: Blue Moon is a mockumentary about the theoretical extraterrestrial life on a moon orbiting a gas giant around a distant star. It's not as good as Alien Planet but still has decent entertainment value.

Staff Disrespect

Posted by Parasky (Admins) at Apr 8 2013, 05:04 PM. 0 comments

I don't know who you people think you are or what kind of place you think this is, but there has been an unacceptable level of disrespect towards the staff recently. This is not some faux-republic where you get what you want and can get away with disrespecting the people in charge of keeping order when things don't go your way. From now on all members of the staff are hereby authorized to permanently ban any members that violate the rules against staff disrespect, and if they don't then I will. I'm tired of having to constantly remind you all that there are rules and consequences for breaking them. I'm tired of getting labeled the bad guy for doing my job. I volunteered for this position, and frankly I'm the only thing holding this community together. Nobody else here has the free time or the dedication to run this place, you don't even know how difficult that can be at times. I'm about ready to just disable the board and let it get automatically deleted, and I might just do that if you all don't get your act together. I took the job as administrator because I saw the potential for this place to be a community where like-minded people could come together and share their interest in a topic that not many people even know exists. Instead it's become a nightmare, I'm having to babysit a bunch of ungrateful, spoiled brats, and I'm not going to put up with it any more. I won't attempt to hold this community together anymore. From now on, that's up to you guys. You can stay the course and lose the forum forever, or you can grow the hell up and learn to get along and obey the rules. I frankly don't care at this point. I've been more than fair to you, I've gone well beyond the point of leniency for many members here, and I've given you all more chances to pull your heads out of your asses than you deserve. This is the last time I'll do it. I wish I could say I had faith in you all, but I really, really don't anymore.

EDIT: Also, you may have noticed the shoutbox is gone. It won't be coming back. The TOS applies there as well. It was not a place for discussions about handjobs and religious arguments, nowhere on this forum is. I'll do the same thing with General Discussion if I have to, and I won't bring it back this time.

New Record!

Posted by Parasky (Admins) at Dec 7 2011, 04:28 AM. 11 comments

Congratulations everybody! While making the Stats of the Month thread I noticed we made a new record today! On 6 December 2011 a record 138 users were online! Over 100 people on in a day? Not as popular as many forums I've seen, but still nearly triple what our previous record for users online in a single day. Not only that but coming in May Speculative Evolution will be celebrating its fourth birthday! Still a ways off, I know, but it helps show how far we've come since it was just Livyatan and myself. I hope we have 138 more members and 4 more years ahead of us, and with luck even more than that!

New membership stayed the same this month, while we made less topics but more posts than in September. Not bad, I guess.
