There's some way to do it, but I forget how. I think Cindy explained it the last time we closed a thread.
Certain to be a cross post

Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

If you leave an extra window open in that thread, you can keep posting after it's closed.
Gotcha. I've been at the closing of a thread so rarely, the concept of even experimenting with that trick hadn't come to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, and I really do need to get around to fixing it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, and I really do need to get around to fixing it.
Change the code so anyone who does that gets a shock to their fingers.
That'll learn 'em.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Too bad we can't automate the rollover at 10,000, provided a name is set up in advance.
It would help at 4 am when forums sometimes rollover with no Stompy around.

Can we post a link here? That would be the next place I'd check.

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

It's not as if there aren't other threads available.

To the new thread? That should be posted at the end of the old one. Which I just did.

A name is never really set up in advance, not for sure. That's the problem with a bullshit consensus -- it can all change at the last minute.
Whoops! I forget the thread closer.

What is even happening?
Couldn't it just role to the number, and then the name can be edited in, later?
