That's pretty sweet!
nice that you've managed to be creative
One thing about anarchy conversion; every time I think of 'conversion' I think of it like in the coercive sense, like has been done historically by many religious organisations for example
maybe a word already associated with people like us, like 'détournement' would be better?

hmmm, interesting point. I suppose I liked it because I intend to rip it from capitalists, copyrights be damned...but I can see your point in such an association. I had been using the "convert" binary lots lately on my linux machine and it was the first thing I thought of because of it.
turning expressions of the capitalist system and its media culture against itself"[5]—as when slogans and logos are turned against their advertisers or the political status quo
I really like the word detournement, but it's a mouthfull...
edit: Ok, I changed the forum name to just that word. I like it's history.

coool. Also, if you just say f/detournement then people who aren't using onion raddle will be directed to the proper place :)
This is an exciting forum.

Thanks! I'm hoping to make detournement a sexy thing! Too many times I see media so great in form that it makes me sad that all that work goes into instilling horrible values...

Well hope your work isn't too bad, otherwise I hope it's over quickly for ya. A beach sounds nice...
