You know what PYF has been missing, for all of these years? No, not that. Not that either. Not -- no why would you even think that? Look it's a sub-subforum okay? PYF has been missing its own subforum. But not anymore! I'd like to introduce you all to PYF's new baby sub: Post My Favorites. Do you guys remember the Dear Diary RSF? No? Okay good, then this gimmick will be new and exciting to you. If yes, then you're welcome! It's back! Sort of! If Post Your Favorite is home to many a megathread, Post My Favorites is intended to be full of what I guess we could call minithreads. Each thread is for its OP and its OP alone. Use your thread to post your own personal list of thoughts or favorites or items to buy down at the convenience store, I don't know, I don't care. The important part is that nobody can post in your thread but you. It's not that they're not supposed to, it's that they literally can't. So go hog wild. Look I already wrote a bunch of words about this so click here for more information. Click here for my example list-in-the-making. And if you'd rather cut straight to the chase, I guess you can click here for just the subforum itself. Bam! I'm going to leave this thread open for input and feedback on the new forum since you, uh, can't really do that in there unless you want to make a list of ways the new subforum sucks, which is very mean and I hope you don't do that.  Now go post some things! Please! Thank you! I have never made a new subforum before and this is a lot of pressure. Please like it.

I hope forbidding replies doesn't also mean you can't click other people's links, that would be a pretty big flaw in this scheme

The subforum is "Post My Favourites" does this mean each individual poster should post their favourite thing or that we need to know what you personally consider to be your favourite and we're just demonstrating our knowledge of LAB?

Well, I meant the former, but I suppose nothing is really stopping you from the latter It would be pretty easy, I expect you could just write "birds" and everybody else would nod in agreement. Real answer: my working title was PYF: Single Player Edition because I knew PMF would make that question come up  , but I decided at the last that PMF was better. I may still be proven wrong.

I made the vote threshold higher, but after the forum updated it looked awfully sterile without thread ratings so I put it back. Take pride in your ability to stir emotion from the masses!also since I can't say this in your thread I love DA2 as well

Just a suggestion but would 'Stop, collaborate and LISTen' be a better forum subtitle? Sorry not sure if this is the place to post this, I'm an infrequent poster from BYOB mainly so hopefully I didn't mess this up too bad!

I expect he is. Based on the admin panel it looks as though it's set to de-sticky itself on the 20th. I could create an additional announcement for PMF, if that's what you're suggesting, but to be honest I don't know if it is the sort of thing important enough to warrant one! If that is indeed what you're suggesting I'm pleased you think that of it though

By the way, I've been adding thread tags to threads that get posted without one so they aren't stuck with the poo poo POST tag. If anybody doesn't like the tag I picked for them just message me and I'll change it

The only reason I'm hesitant is that it feels self-indulgent, but I might be over-thinking it. If you think a little more exposure is warranted I could put one up for a week or so e: world's worst announcement is live LITERALLY A BIRD has a new favorite as of 05:42 on Mar 8, 2020 |

This seems like a terrible idea for a subforum because there's no chance of creating a community or giving feedback.

You're certainly not wrong, but it's largely meant to be a sort of extension of/mirror to PYF This subforum is a community built around megathreads that need lots of manpower to keep rolling along, and I thought it might be fun to have the equal and opposite reaction to that, a subforum full of very tiny threads that give you a glimpse of individual goons' interests outside of the zeitgeist.
