If you've looked closely, you've probably noticed that in your edit profile page, you have the option to select a team as either "the ancients" or "the moderns." So far nothing has really been doing with this, but I thought about perhaps bringing in a couple of team leaders and doing some original competitions between two teams of some sort.
Also, would you guys be interested in a community activities board here for collaborative projects and things of that sort?
What are your ideas?

Yeah, a team competition between the Ancients and the Moderns! To war, by jingo! 
Collaborative projects would be cool, so yeah, a board for that would be cool.

I might add a collaborative projects board soon then. Have any ideas for the theme for such a competition between the two teams?

Basically the idea was to allow users to select a "team" in their profile, and then to run some competitions between the teams. So far not much has really been done with it yet.

Ah okay, I'll set my team later. Are there certain things that each team does? Anything they're about?

We need backstories, we need personas, we need a cause, something to believe in, and something to fight for!
Maybe an ongoing competition between the two, with some alternative factions as well? It could be fun.

Oooh that's actually really interesting as an idea.
It kinda gave me an idea. We could do weekly or monthly "articles" (perhaps with a more creative name) that are fairly entertaining pages all to themselves with information on a particular project, field of study, etc. For example, perhaps for June, we could do a summer kickoff event and discuss, say, Elon Musk and his spaceX endeavors and write an article about it. We could have each team collaborate on it and put stuff out. And it would of course be centered around subjects and ideas from members of the community who are pretty knowledgeable about those subjects.
The benefit to that too is that it's a great way to get some high quality search engine traffic that way and I think it's a common theme among us here that we could use a few new members around here.
@Guardian: I agree. Except as I know it, the ancients, they won't have it. The moderns, can we revive it?

As an Ancient, I take offense at that!
Let's do this!

Registered moderns can't speak on the behalf of the ancients. According to an old scroll we dug up,
Quote:39. Punishment for voting for, or speaking on the behalf of those who do not belong with a specific party shall be the stamp of shame. Various matters including the severity of the offense shall be considered before determining the exact punishment.

That's great!

Impostor no more. Good to so no misrepresentation of the glorious Ancients now. 
I care not for your internal Modern politics.
...as long as this doesn't actually turn hostile, I'm enjoying it already.
