No, I want the OP of this thread to continue this journey.

Oh I do too believe me! I just meant I might half rear end it through some threads or skip some topics I'm not into. It would be a lot to keep track of. I hope the OP pulls through, though it would be a lot of threads for them to keep track of if they do the right thing and check back up on the threads they make. It makes a big endeavor even bigger when you think about it!

Or, you know, if fyad decides to do their traditional chain probe thing, which would be lame. The one and done seems like an expected given though, hopefully that's it. I want to see where this goes, it has promise for fun!

Travel update:

I still have TCC on my mind. I meant to include these thoughts in the last update, but hey, I think it's not too late!
I know GBS is where all the cries for a restaurant subforum came from, but it is quite funny to me that TCC is a subforum of GBS rather than the more sensible GWS.
Here I think we first encountered something that has been on my mind since I first came up with this whole idea: If the idea is good enough to be a thread, why isn't it already?
My thread was thus necessarily a bit of niche topic, but there were some nice replies, and maybe some posters with some knowledge or passion for the subject might drop in at any time in the future!

SAFPD... Now here's a sleepy subforum. And no wonder! The front page itself was already a pretty unknown entity, and that was before it had been in 2 years! Hard to think of something to say at that point about it. I'm not much of a comedian or a writer either. Well, the thread'll sit on the first page for at least the next decade, so there's that!
Edit: I do miss the front page though. I didn't drop by often, but there were some really funny articles from time to time! And it was nice to go through the backlog of some of the long-running pieces! I hope it comes back one day!

E/N is usually a pretty lively place from the times I've dropped by before. (Un)fortunately, I don't have anything particularly major going on in my life right now. Some really helpful goons did drop by, which was lovely! Maybe in the coming days, something will come of the thread.

Tomorrow, I take my first steps out of the Greater GBSland Area!

Quoting you from pages ago, OP, I'm still catching up... but a timely heads-up, pls be aware that some of us virtual basement dwellers (i.e. we rarely travel to subforums outside GBS) have little clue what most subforum-name-acronyms mean. LIke I know GBS, FYAD, QCS and E/N and that's about it. And I don't have time to look up each on the SAclopedia. So if you don't mind, when visiting each new subforum, would you pls say what the acrronym stands for, and state, in brief, the ostensible purpose of the forum ( e.g. FYAD:gently caress You And Die, trolling GBS and :circlefap:), k tia. :)

No big deal, they probated me right before I went to sleep. I'll respond to the whole probe situation when I'm a bit farther down the river.

Don't worry, I'm more aware of this than anyone. But I don't think it's wise to return to FYAD, especially so soon, unless some communication occurs first.
Also, I have my settings at 10 posts per page! :twisted:

If you saw my E/N thread, you might know that's gonna be difficult for me. Now that I started using acronyms, it would cause me too much stress to be inconsistent and suddenly stop using them. Sorry to cause the readers at home potentially extra work, but everything's in order, so just make sure you're keeping up!

📝 Travel update:

Many of the threads have begun to go quiet. Once they start leaving the first page, they'll likely be forgotten. It's nice having fewer things to maintain in the moment, but I still hope to see some of them reach a higher potential with time!

As I rolled up to FYAD, I'd by lying if I didn't say I wasn't nervous. I had developed my thread idea for FYAD early on while preparing for this journey. FYAD, more than any subforum, was somewhere I had lurked in the most, trying to understand their culture so that I might try to replicate it.
To the other posters, this place was something of a North Korea or Turkmenistan. I began to fill with doubt. I doubled up on my efforts to lurk.

But even if I could understand their culture, could I replicate it?

It seems not. I immediately stepped on the edge of the tatami, and was soon ejected from the subforum. I definitely feel a sense of failure. My thread shunted into their gas chamber.
The goal isn't simply to make threads. This would be simple. The goal is to make something that would belong there. And it seems my thread did not.
But further attempts to make something there would have only antagonized the natives, so I was forced to continue on my journey.
Can't help but wonder if some of my other ideas would have gone better. Looking through my notes, I had so many good ideas! "Why didn't I use this one... or that one?" Well, at least it's one less thread to maintain.

Maybe one day in the future, I will return. As I thought I was leaving their waters, I was suddenly ambushed. For what crime? I was told only, "Actions have consequences"? I'm not sure what rule I had broken, but the sentence was, fortunately, short.
I once again prepared to leave, though now with a much more sour taste in mouth. Perhaps I had just been unfortunate in the representatives I had run into. Perhaps my thread really did offend them. Had to say. For better or worse, I'm far less inclined now to ever return.

I then crossed the straits to calmer waters. I arrived in PYF and made my thread. Before long, a few locals came to participate.
Things are slow now, but I hope the thread there takes off; I feel like it has a lot of potential!

While I thought I had put FYAD behind me, it was then that I realized an emissary had followed me. Were they a rogue or did they represent the subforum in some capacity? It was hard to tell. They were nevertheless determined to get in my way, bent on causing me yet more trouble!
The way forward seems like it will be a bit more fraught with obstacles for some time now...
