Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

That's actually something we may want to put on the list, the ability to have the right-hand threads appear in whatever order we want. BBaBB doesn't really matter, but if we ever need a second Beep Me or Press, we'll probably want them to stay where they are.

(And for a more likely example, the same applies to COMM.)

Our wings are not tired.

My world is askew. Yes, it would be nice if the right-hand threads were in fixed order.

What is even happening?

This is not my beautiful house.

This is not my beautiful wife.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm glad I'm not the only one freaked out by the fact that BBaBB now appears BELOW B'cracy.

It's just not right.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My world is all askew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Get a grip, people.

Your tag here.

Yeah, I know it's the weekend, but in Edit your Profile!, BBaBB needs to be changed to "Closed Threads/BBaBB".

Edit: actually, that should be "Closed Threads/Site Administration/BBaBB". My OCD thanks you for your support.

Nope. Normal procedure is to keep a closed thread on the main list for a little while (a week or so) in case people want to catch up. And it'll never be a site administration thread again. That's only for the active site admin threads.

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

What DX said. The description on the profile page describes what folder the thread is in. If it's not in the Closed Folder (or the Site Admin folder), it's not going to say so.

Where's the old thread? It's not in the closed threads link, so I'm just curious.
