All is well that ends in pizza.

Too bad the zapped posts can't completely disappear when deleted, but i guess having the "this post deleted by t stompy " acts as a deterrent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also, there's no guarantee that an "Oh, oops" apology was what the stompy saw when they deleted. Which is why it's simplest to have the policy of yanking anything that's not an announcement.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Also, there's no guarantee that an "Oh, oops" apology was what the stompy saw when they deleted.

No, the apology was there, but as mentioned, it wasn't an announcement.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, basically -- if you notice your error before someone else gets to it, delete it. That's the only way around one of us doing it.

Our good riddance thread has been open a long time this year.

Anything standing in the way of closing it when AmyLiz announces her present?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I still haven't heard if my Secret Santa received her present, which I sent back in January.

I wonder if Dani can help with that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I know it's been brought up before, but since the thread's about to roll over, I'd like to suggest that we update the title of Boxed Set to more accurately reflect the content of the thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

First we need to admit to the actual content of the thread. Then define it. And accept it.

Me, I still want it to be what it says.
