Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

And looking at the thread title block, it could be

Natter 5,435: Will You People Never Shut Up?

Once more into the natter breach, dear friends. Blah blah nattercakes spoilerfree blah (Subscribe)

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

It's currently commented out, but there's a line between the title and the blurb where the subscribe would go. I like it there better, since it's a more constant position, unlike after the highly variable length blurb.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I agree with ita. That's also where it was in the original design.

Aha. I didn't know those were still around. Yup, that's where it's commented out. Although there are no outstanding plans for a discussion summary. A link to threadsuck might go there, though.

We did this already? I knew I thought it was a good idea...

Exactly what I was thinking. My question is this: Do we put in a "Threadsuck all", a "Threadsuck new" or both? I think there would be room for all three links.

Also, let's think of a better word then "Threadsuck". "Download", perhaps? "Archive"? "Save"?

I like "Threadsuck", but I can see that we might not want the string "suck" to be on a page for filtering reasons. Download would work for me.

I think if suck breaks a filter, we've broken the filter. There're worse words in just about every page.

Still, not attached to the term at all.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Wow, I'm amazed that worked the first time, ita.
