Project 5 Idea
For project 5, I think I'm going to do a continuation of project 4. My efforts at trolling weren't successful at all, but since I have more time now, I think I can just try to be more subtle--semi-trolling, if you will. I found quite a few good forums from doing project 4 in the first place, so that phase of the project can pretty much be skipped. Even if my modified trolling efforts don't succeed, I should be able to find some good examples of people acting differently than they otherwise might. If you find the right forum, abusive language is pretty common, and I would imagine it even escalates to threats from time to time. I'll also try, like I did in my 4th project, to find examples of everyday/forgotten type of posts. Since it's basically just a long record of online conversations through the proxy of forums, the common stuff is really easy to find, which makes me want to focus more on inconsequential conversations that are nevertheless really unique. If I can find any really profound posts on some of the forums, I might even evaluate those.
