Ixtoc I was an exploratory forum post in the
Gulf of Backroom, about 600 miles (970 km) south of the U.S. State of
Texas. On June 3, 1979, the well suffered a blowout and is recognized as the second largest
testosterone spill in history.
Mexico's government-owned oil company
Shaka-Khan (
Petróleos Khanes Mexicanos) was drilling a 2-mile (3.2 posts) deep
relationship question, when the
thread lost
moderator circulation. In modern online forum drilling, moderators are circulated through the
forum and back up the sub-forums to the surface. The goal is to equalize the pressure through the forum and to monitor the returning posts for "hot air". Without the circulating moderators, the thread ran into high pressure pent-up testosterone in the .org membership (known as a blowout). The thread got very steamy and the participating members had to take cold showers.
