It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well technically a cow is female. Most of us are willing to use the term cow as representative of a bovine of any gender, though.

I am not, except for Polter-Cow, because his name is cool.

Stop insulting Pylea. I love those episodes. Fred + dance of Joy + general fun all around.

Nobody answered my original question. How much posting interest is necessary to make a new thread worthwhile, and what are the drawbacks that you (we) care enough about to make it even a posable question?

Probably because no one knows. We're making it up as we go along.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

well not really. A new thread would need a vote, no?

What does it take to have a vote pass? simple majority or those who vote?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Simple majority of those who vote, as long as 42 or more people vote.

Yeah, but he used the word "worthwhile". That implies more to me than just "how do we get a new thread created?".

ok true, but we as a group are never gonna agree on what is worthwhile.
