Well, nothing stays original. That originality he had in the past is no longer original because someone else has copied his original content. You can only be original until everyone starts copying you wich then no longer makes you original.

Lud has the power to be his own community

[@grafzhl]

This map was created using a software called Gephi. There are different ways to arrange the nodes in a graph like that, I'm guessing that 'Force Atlas 2' was used in this case. It's basically a physics simulation where nodes attract and repel each other, based on their edges. It's not perfect and depends a lot on initial seed, so the fact that QT for example is next to the Minecrafters most likely is just an artifact of the arrangement algorithm and the random seed.
