I would encourage the eventual development of a separate headers page for old threads (aka the TT attic) to avoid front page clutter. This would allow normal access to those threads, as separate from the archives page, which holds complete threadsucked threads. I see those as two independent functions: one is genuinely archiving -- I'd go get them if I wanted to posess the whole thread, the other is just a housekeeping holder for the dead threads, that allows me to read (in the normal way) the last messages of a thread that I didn't get to before the new one was created.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Just saw this announcement over in WX:
Warning:
In the near future, World Crossing will require the discussion expiration time to be set to a number between 1 and 120 days. Please change the expiration time now to avoid future problems!
You can exempt specific discussions from expiration by marking them as Permanent. To do so, enter the discussion you wish to mark, and click the EDIT button for the initial post of the discussion. Then mark the checkbox to indicate the discussion should be permanent.
Off to permanentize our stuff.

Tom, no I haven't, but I really haven't had much chance to play with it. Last I looked, it was still closing the perl window before I had a chance to see why it was aborting, but I haven't been able to follow up on that.

If she confirms, I can fix it.
C'est moi. That was when I had just barely delurked and I was very scared. (Shy, that is, not ax-murderer scared.) But it was fun! And I got home that night to realize that the cable had gone out 10 minutes into the finale becuase of storms, so I was extra-glad I mustered the courage to go. Thanks meara!

I was thinking maybe I'd take names and match up people who forgot to do Secret Santa (like me). Does anyone have any objections?
If not, I'll do an announcement in Press.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sophia, I just did that. ooops.
edit: Sophia - since I was already matched, I figured this way none of the unmatched would have to get spoiled.
