We did this already? I knew I thought it was a good idea...
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
A link to threadsuck might go there, though.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.
Anyone else who needs access to the CVS repository, please send me mail at the profile address. I'm at my in-laws place this weekend, and all I have is dial-up, so I'll check mail but I won't be on the board much.

I just think the term would add a touch of vulgarity to an otherwise clean design. Plus, forget looking it up in a dictionary to figure out what it means, if English isn't your first language.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
If it comes to that, I believe you should be able to just ask someone, Rob. You can't look up "meara" or "Nilly" or "xpost" in a dictionary, either.
I like "threadsuck".

None of the words you mention are part of the user-interface for the board, so I wouldn't apply as high standards for choosing them.
I think we should try to choose words for the interface that don't require a new user to ask what they mean.
