I had a very bad March and late Feb (started estrogen, going through therapy, buncha other stuff), and I don't probe very often or read the sagas thread.

Regardless of context, neither AIDS nor the r-word are very funny.

had a terrible spring, my legs fell off and i became trapped in Raccoon City during the t-virus outbreak armed only with a boxcutter. in conclusion, racism is bad. hope that resolves things

Hey this is on me, there were some reports on the word usage and I did talk elsewhere with admins and we agreed we shouldn't do word filter moderation on them, but I completely forgot to process those reports. In my absence Philippe decided to help and didn't realise my other conversation.

In any case please don't hash on Philippe, who's already going through quite a bit with her transitioning. Blame me and the fact i keep playing pizza tower on the steam deck (also i need to learn to draw better and draw a rhino version of peppino maybe...)

Whatever the reason, I kind of like it. PYF is one of the few subforums I’ll hit up outside of my bookmarks when I’m bored, it’s cool to see a few other threads with activity I might not have checked out before.

yeah pyf is very much The Megathread Forum so presumably the stickies are the only way to get fresh blood into threads

small threads just sink and die in amid the thousands of posts decrying basic game mechanics, or some tweets, or a gift-bearing shark

Not sure what "spr levels" mean. But please feel free to suggest fun threads to sticky (perhaps after the cycle after these are unstuck, about 30 days after their date of sticking)

Before...all of that...happened she spent her time sticking every thread she could think of, including making new ones just for it. This feels the same.

E: and the reply took so long because I instantly disregard all sticky threads as dumb poo poo to not look at, usually.

mods should encourage the posting of new pyf threads over August by offering an av change/plat to whoever makes the best new thread that month, judged entirely subjectively

optionally do a Best Lurker Thread category as well

Though I'm certainly a reader of the typical "giant megathread on a popular topic" type threads that dominate PYF, I actually think it's really cool when we get the PYF threads on more niche topics that only get a page or two of content before running dry and falling off into oblivion, and I think we should encourage more of that in this forum.

Sure, sometimes you want just a nearly endless stream of funny pictures or good comics or whatever, but it also can be cool to read about some weird interest that only a few people are into!

i guess maybe do it over another month instead, given that august is now almost over

spitballing how it would work in practice - perhaps sticky a thread in PYF setting out The Challenge, and then maybe have that linked in one of prag's announcements in order to notify those who only dwell in their bookmarks.

this is kind of my thinking. megathreads are fine but i also like the small threads, and i prefer the idea of not living in one's bookmarked thread list. the dinosaur art thread owns and it's only two pages long

We actually are finalizing a thread for the competition now, but Pragmatica was planning to do another announcement post at the end of this week, so we wanted to time posting it just ahead of that so that it would get cross-forum promotion.

If there are some small threads you think deserve promotion, I think we could also suggest those to Prag for her announcement messages, too. She loves getting more things to show off!
