    yes it does, that there is no being around doesn't mean the phenomena doesn't occurs.

    science and scientists are discovering every day things that happened thousands of years ago. so...

    this seems to be the fallacy of affirming the consequent

    no, there is someone injured so something happened.

    answers will come when someone ask the question.

    yes it did occur. unless that person says it doesn't and no other witness affirm the opposite

    A xianxia/wuxia/fuxia/whatever clan will be insulted by it and will start an eternal feud with the MC's clan which will only end once the MC uses some bullshit method of powering up and beating them

    So unfortunately it happened

    I like this communities energy, towards something this simple. My logic for putting forth a simple analogy, I guess. was to relate it towards a similar situation.

    In regards to bullying:

    Someone who tries their best, puts out their best in their work. Be it fan art or translation (Not for profit)
    In other eyes it may not be the greatest. There can be such a backlash, that borders death threats.

    And because lets say the website with all the data is erased and sadly there is no record, some people treat it as though it never occurred.

    So I made this thread in mind, with the idea of "Don't forget or disregard the erased ones who did their best and disappeared"

    some people (to avoid saying most people) just feel fulfillment with the misery and misfortune of others, sadly but is something you can see almost everywhere...

    I assure you, that even if the name is forgotten, a little spark will remain in the memory of the ppl that the site bring a bit of happiness. (and probably its remains will be there in some backup of the server where it was hosted until the ends of times or when a catastrophe or some layer 8 mistake destroy said backup )...

    That statement is full of human hubris that the world revolves around humanity

    Yes, unless it "fall" in a place were sound cannot travel, in void for exemple...

    The problem with this conundrum is that most people mix fact and belief when they try to answer it...
    In phenomenal scale stuff happen whether anybody is here to see it or to prove it.
    In conscioussness scale stuff happen if you think it had.

    Trying to mix them is like trying to use cogito ergo sum to justify that nothing beside yourself exist, it's just an exercice in futilty, empty words for empty thoughs, a fruitless and vain peroraison...

    the answer to your question is:
    if you think it's occured then it's occureded, if you think it's not occured then it's not occured.....

    something it's occured only if you or someone else perceived it (the form you perceive it doesn't matter)

    if i had a ball in my hand, and release it. Did the ball fell on the floor?
    why did you "think" it's fall, if i tould you the ball was full of elium whould you have "thought" it would fall?

    Simple : The ball will fall if it is affected by any force that push or pull it to the floor.
    Things happen without anybody to spectate them, just like a spectator exist in the first place as its existence has been the consequence of a lot of stuff that happened while it wasn't here (you know bees, flower, daddy, mommy, zygotes and stuff)

    1 - something that doesn't have gravity doesn't float

    The bear knows, baby. The bear knows what you did last summer. And that bear will come out of the woodwork to demand his share of the spoils.

    If you wanted, to let people know you should start off with that. Instead of a roundabout method
