Short History of Ruined World and Tea party:
First Ruined World in shape came out around 2008. It was under Apple’s .Mac hosting, later when we moved to MobileMe, which is updated version of .Mac, we came up with an idea of ‘Ruined World’, and it was our first 1.0 version in public. Since then we shared opinions as group, though the numbers always vary, posting new technology issues, IT market issues, some of political and economical issues, and etc. Since we plan to have more than 2 writers, or contributors -or at least that is the policy to have more than 2 opinions in one website- websites had to evolve again and again constantly and then we are here. 3.0 version of Ruined World. -please don’t mind by numbering-
Ruined World was the name of stories that were written by Dorian Gray, published for short period of times on Ruined World blog, but then he-and it is also me- decided to stop such, and to continue on more contemporary works. In 2008, Ruined World was mainly discussed about relationship between United States and South Korea, focusing on FTA, and this new movement called ‘Candle Movement of S. Korea in 2008′. Despite the fact posts and ideas regarding Candle Movement were unpopular, but soon it was used and quoted by various American readers to emphasize on need to keep on interest of international affairs. Later on, Gray also decides to stop posting in Korean, since more than 3 quarters of readers were using English, according to Google Analytics. But again, since he was focused on Asia, specially in S. Korea, for long time posts were related to Korean Politics, or at least something had to do with S. Korea till 2009.
In 2010, Ruined World stopped using its own name, and changed into Mad Tea Party. The idea was that website must be opened for everybody, not only particular research-guys who need information or quotes, even opinion on matters. But again, it was policy, long-lived policy of Ruined World that what we would call common sense just doesn’t make much of sense in logics. So we had to admit that in fact, most of our discussions tend to end up in wrong, immoral in terms of morality and ethics, and more economics-friendly way. Some of the opinions were, and again it is nature of Ruined World and Mad Tea Party, rather offensive to typical group it could have been targeting.
Since 2010 we are still keeping the name ‘Mad Tea Party’, and it wouldn’t change till there is major revolution in our society. -at least that is expectation-
