So I was thinking of how to make this in to a living forum.
I was thinking of a tree where each user can place themselves off of a main branch and then based on their actions fractals would generate life off each branch. Users could perhaps even influence near by branches based on their posting habits..etc. In the end we would have a graphic representation of the life of the forum and each member.
I think it would be something interesting to have around. The actual graphic would update it self once an hour or day (depending on the CPU load needed).
Any thoughts, suggestions...ideas....etc. I write code all day long, so this would be a nice side project for me.
