The Random Thoughts Thread

[brenden]

Just a simple question that I have been plucking up the courage to ask for a long time.....how did AN actually start?

"Let there be forums".

- Enwiabe, c. 2007

Can someone send the links for some AN posts on time management? Can't seem to find them, but I swear they were here somewhere...

AN's roots, short version:

- BOS was the only Aussie HS forum and basically sucked shit at the time
- in 2007, a year 12 bloke (enwiabe on here) got so fed up with it he randomly started a rival forum, FreeStudyNotes.com
- aaaaaand it took off as a VCE forum!
- over time it expanded, became ATARNotes, collected some kickass users, started a whole bunch of other products and initiatives over
time (e.g. free lectures), and last year spread in bulk to HSC

VOILA WE ARE HERE \o/

Wait so it only recently expanded to the HSC? That is some serious growth!

The AN lectures only started in 2015! I went to the first series at Melbourne Uni, where I saw Lauren's English lecture

i used to think it was 2014, pls don't attack me for my lack of history knowledge

Edit: I remember this awesome trick where we had to shout random items at Lauren at the start, and she'd pick a few of them. At the end, she wrote a small paragraph utilising those words. All I remember is 'like the knots of a Persian rug', which worked really well

I changed that thread name what was cooler was the serious deep stuff peterpiper was talking

And we've come full circle...

although now used in a different context.

Ok...
SO I originally posted this in the VCE English discussion, but it kinda didn't get any love, and I'm kind of a bit behind on a comparative essay I was gonna use it for...
Hate to take away from the banter, and add something serious, but here goes.

Randomly...
Would it be right to call 'Animal Farm' a lampoon against socialism?
