The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What if...

I didn't know where to put this as I can't figure out which thread it fits into.

My World History teacher made us play this game in class. It was actually quite fun. Basically, you take an event, historic or otherwise, and you change it. For instance, someone in my class asked "What if John Wilkes Booth had not succeeded in assassinating Lincoln?" And then everyone else would think of possible scenarios as a result of this theoretical change.

So let's start with that same question. What if John Wilkes Booth had not succeeded in assassinating Lincoln?

What if the internet never existed?

Oh, I forgot about that. When you post, make sure it's a plausible outcome. Put thought into the reply.

If the Internet never existed, I'm sure that it would greatly affect anybody, as it would never have existed. People would rely on newspapers and television to get information on worldly affairs. People would probably read more books, since information wouldn't be readily available on the Internet. Because it doesn't exist.  

What if the dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct at the time they did? Let's say they stayed around for another few million years?
