Well, I'm not really sure what happened to this thread starting on page 2, but I've just found this beautiful teardown and I figure it deserves to be memorialized somehow:
calcyman wrote:wwei23, you've started to irritate many users on this forum, with a combination of needlessly promoting your '1x256X2+1' results over various threads, multiple-posting, and pointless necroposting. Despite several people requesting, with varying levels of politeness, that you cease this behaviour, you persisted unabated.

I gritted my teeth and tolerated this, for a short while, but then decided you went too far after posting swastika* RLEs on two distinct threads in the Sandbox. After all, this could give seriously wrong signals about the nature of the GoL community. Assuming your chronological age is comparable to your mental age, I understand that the connotations of that symbol refer to events many multiples of your lifetime in the past -- however, several users of this forum have lived through the period in question, and could plausibly have traumatic memories of these incidents. Even more worryingly, recent events in Charlottesville, USA, have shown this ideology to not be confined to the history books.

* Yes, I realise that the symbol (either in the same or reversed orientation) far predated the period in question, having semiotic significance in both Hinduism and Judaism since antiquity. However, your entitling of the post as "thread for your scary discoveries" demonstrates that you were not using it as an ancient mystical symbol (which would have been acceptable) but instead referring to its 20th-century corruption.

If it were my choice, I would ban you from these forums for a month. Fortunately for you, I don't have that instrumental power, so I've instead decided to increase the minimum haul threshold on 1x256X2+1 to 20 million.

I suggest apologising sincerely to the populace of this forum for any offence you may have caused, lest I may increase this threshold even further or ban you from Catagolue completely.
I also nominate this post introducing the "methusynthesis":
Gustavo6046 wrote:Notable bout it? Well it is the first of a chain of discoveries of "Methusynthesae, (singular Methusynthesis) that are patterns/methuselah that basically/mildly are spaceship reactions, though it is a bit hard to explain the relation. It is way different from syntheses because they are patterns, and don't form other patterns." - definition in the Rehermann dictionary - GOL section.

Gustavo's thread is one of the best.
I manage the 5S project, which collects all known spaceship speeds in Isotropic Non-totalistic rules. I also wrote EPE, a tool for searching in the INT rulespace.

- EPE improvements.

Just happened upon a description of the state of the art in spaceship construction in October 2010 -- including a fortune-telling final paragraph.
In 2010, Paul Tooke wrote:18booster wrote:
Is it known how to synthesize a c/5 spider from gliders (and possibly other tools such as blocks and blinkers)?
No.

The only spaceships in Life which have constructions are the standard spaceships (i.e the glider, LWSS, MWSS & HWSS, but then you knew that), some Corderships and a 2c/5 spaceship discovered by Tim Coe which proved tractable because its central components could be produced by perturbing constructible still lifes. (EDIT: and of course Gemini, but that really is a special case).

David Buckingham, an incomparable glider synthesis expert, has described spaceships which, like the Spider, can be found by search programs but don't occur naturally, as "spacedust". By this he meant: inconstructible. The task of constructing such a spaceship has been likened to building a Formula-1 race car whilst it's on the track and travelling at 200mph. I'm paraphrasing, because I can't remember the exact quote or who wrote this but I'm sure that you get my drift.

That said, all(!) that it takes to turn my "no"into a "yes" is for some enterprising individual who either won't take no for an answer or who appreciates the difference between "it hasn't happened" and "it can't happen" to take a strong interest in making it happen.
That said, spiders still don't have a glider synthesis. It doesn't look as impossible as it used to -- the phase with a pair of too-close blinkers is relatively stable, so maybe a series of fuses could be built leading in to a big ugly still life or constellation to get a spider started. But it does look a good bit more expensive than anything that has been tried so far (unless you count the self-constructing spaceships).

There's some more fortune-telling here, but it didn't turn out quite as predicted -- the c/3 dart sneaked in ahead of the 2c/7 weekender by a few months.

dvgrn, in a stream of LifeWiki edit notes wrote:Would you rather wish on a snippet,
Carry moonbeams home in a tippet,
And be better off than a whippet,
Or would you rather be a toad?
A toad is an animal that sits in the zoo,
And croaks with a period of two,
Spends all its time in the same darn place,
And has a kind of funny-looking face,
But if you write a lot of LifeWiki snippets,
And never take so much as a grocery trip it's,
Likely you'll grow up to be a toad,
If you don't leave your chair and get out on the road,
You might grow up to be a toad.
