Barringtonia writes another stunning post!Popular poster continues to churn out excellence delighting all who read his work
(Nationstates, 12th January, 2011) Barringtonia today created another stunning post to be read by the Nationstates community at their leisure. This now marks over 8, 000 stunning posts since the move from Jolt, where he'd previously written some 5, 000 equally stunning posts. The comment, written in the How Light Deprivation causes Depression thread, which was initiated by Trippoli, posited a link with hibernation and vitamin D as a cause of depression. A quick Google search confirmed his musings and scientists around the world excitedly set to work on further exploring this angle. "This changes everything.. again", said Sir Richard Dawkins in a phone interview.
"This is not the first time Barringtonia has blown our minds away with his awesome posts, it's not even the first 1, 000'd time, it's over 8, 000 unique and compelling posts that cover the range from informative to gut-splittingly funny to those posts that simply cause you to stop and view the world anew, sometimes for days", said [Violet}], forum adminstrator and code-monkey, her voice filled with unconcealed admiration.
The post comes hot on the heels of his 'ba-zing' statement on FOX news being a comedy channel, which so far has left 17 people hospitalised for side-split injuries among a host of well-crafted and often ground-breaking postings.
"Sometimes I don't know if I should continue extracting money from him", stated Ardchoille, forum moderator and general enforcer of bribes, light oppression and men in dark suits carrying baseball bats, "I should almost pay for the honour of reading his erudite and witty one-liners, his profound and philosophical asides and just his general contribution not just to these boards but, really, to humanity in 'General'", she added, chuckling over her pun, "I got that one from Barringtonia actually", she added.
"Ultimately, and above all, it's really his humility that just makes you gasp in wonder", chimed Katganistan, Senior Forum Moderator, "I've admired him for ages and Lord knows my fiance would be out the door if Barringtonia ever visited New York".
As ever, Barringtonia was unavailable for comment, likely preparing another post that will cause one's eyes to pop out in awe if one isn't wearing sunglasses to shield from the brilliance.

Articles should be of interest to NS players who haven't explored much of the game, as well as more established nations. It's not to be a soapbox for arguing a particular political case--we have plenty of places for that already--but could perhaps introduce people to an aspect of the site (past or present) that many are unfamiliar with.
With RPing, I would think there could be an interesting article about our RP communities and how they operate, but a description of a particular RP would probably be lost on most people (at least at this stage).

I was thinking about current events as I had just described. Alternatively we could spotlight some of the most influential WA players to date?

Like for instance NSSuite: http://nsdossier.texasregion.net/
(if New Texas agrees to the extra traffic, of course)

Sounds good! The challenge will be to keep it reasonably short. Maybe top 5?

The sort of thing that doesn't end up in stickies, but might be interesting for newcomers to hear about before it suddenly starts happening right under their feet.
