Evarni 174 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The use of the word "flake" is in direct relation to the symbolism of the "snowflake". As most people are aware, each individual snowflake is different from the next. So when this concept is applied to this website, you're basically talking about its members as figurative flakes, coming from all kinds of different races, creeds, sex, national origins etc. But when you combine all of these members together, they form a greater whole . . just like a snow-covered street. So when you look at it from the perspective that the site itself is a street, and it's members are snowflakes, you will discover the actual concept of the title WebFlake. However, on the other hand, if you want to get really literal about it, you have to refer to The Bible. In the Book of Job, there is a famous quote that says "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away". When you look at this quote, you really get the meaning behind the word "Flake". Consider that The Bible is filled with ash, pillars of salt, sand . . but there are no Flakes in The Bible. According to the Good Book, there is no snow (at least not much of it). Of course, this might be attributed to most of the story taking place in the desert. But that's the beauty of it. You see, being "Flakes" we are better than the sand . . better than the ash . . better than the pillars of salt. In fact we're better than the scriptures itself. When it comes right down to it, anyone who has read this far into this total waste of space answer I am typing is, quite frankly, out of their damn minds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
