Yeah, it could use thinning. At least I think the new mod welcome thread can probably be unstickied on Sunday - feels like a full week is good for a thread like that.

And the rules thread! No mods not masters and it's been a year since a new rule.... Can't it go somewhere.. else?

I honestly considered necroing some old-rear end threads by stickying them but I thought that would be gauche.

Delete the first page and make each existing topic verboten for 3 months so something new can exist there.

Let’s solve that problem once and for all and sticky ALL the threads.

Stickies are just bookmarks for cowards, so why not introduce some new threads to the less bold among us? Aren’t their voices just as valid? Aren’t they just as welcome to eat a probe for misunderstanding “thread culture” as the rest of us?

Do you have any idea how long it takes to read through a several years old megathread to catch up to post?!

Wait.. you don't.. You don't just skip ahead to the last page do you??

That's like not starting with Die Hard 1 or Lethal Weapon 1

Guv, that's like starting with Alien v Predator.

this could have happened if some of the serious (and seriously dead) forums had been merged into gbs as promised

Not sure if this will work since it's quoting an old dead thread, but...

Dear diary, today I was looking forward to opening my diary in order to allow the masses to praise and adulate my low-effort Galtse posts, but now find that the "Special Event" has been canceled.

Is a man not entitled to the replies to his shitposts? "No!" says the administrator, "Your shitposts belong to the forum!" Is a man not entitled to the mocking of his dead-horse-beating schtick? "No!" says the moderator, "Your sub-par trolling belongs to me!"

Anyway, you get the idea.

Pick a random post while catching up and reply to it like it was recent

I skip over stickies automatically which means the easiest way to make a thread invisible is to stickie it.
