I don't know why you have the surprise face at that. Surely that was inherently obvious. This place is practically a second home for him.

Hey! I came over from Bethsoft, remember? They lock threads over there at two hundred posts. 5K in one thread's bonkers. And not long after I showed up Kobby hit Ancient and stopped posting as much. So I missed all of that.

They lock threads? Why??

It just seems to be an entirely arbitrary post limit. Probably to save them ever having to review a longer thread.

This is an interesting fact. Things were a bit easier to manage back then though as well being that there were far fewer states and populations weren't quite so drastically concentrated within a few small areas. The electoral college system has never really worked and it is even worse now because since it is tied to population we've more or less got voting blocs that all vote the same way every time with a couple of states that swing just enough either way to decide who wins. California is basically guaranteed to be democrat every year, which gives 55 electoral votes based on their population, while Texas is basically guaranteed to vote Republican every year, which gives 38 electoral votes. Then there are the ever important swing states which can go either way and inevitably choose who wins every election.


Meh, you're going to find this everywhere you go. People just aren't extremely satisfied with their governments right now because of relatively poor performance all over the world. Deficits are climbing, unemployment is on the rise, and more people are entering poverty than ever before in many places.

It was a work-aound for a bug in the forum software originally. A side benefit was that very long-running threads could get the old parts archived off, and the database kept manageable, so it remained after the bug was fixed.

Sooooo..... what is everyone doing?

Alternating between reading Liz's storyy, pratting about on this thread and making up a language for a future novel I'm planning.

Eating cake, drinking tea, listening to Paramore, reading Teresa of the Faint Smile, and trying to type quickly while wearing fingerless gloves.

My hands get crazy cold.

You'd better not be stealing my book ideas, you hear. If you are, I will hunt you down and I will lick you in a non-sexual and scatalogical manner!!

Habits? I have no habits.

I'm no monk.

Ba-Dum-Tisch!

I'll get my coat.

It's snowing about twenty miles from where I live, and it was snowing last week in Northern Texas.

Oh, you guys crack me up!


I want more rare NES games

You and your collecting

*Shakes head*

It's either compulsively obsessive, or obsessively compulsive. I'm not sure which.

IT´S BOTH OF THEM!!!!!

As it is I have to settle with Mr. Gimmick and a repro of NWC

But that´s cool anyway!
