Do we also want to consider removing Jossverse reference in certain thread summaries and descriptions? For example, those references in threads like Fan Fiction, Literary, and Other Media don't seem particularly relevant at this point.

Also, just as housekeeping: can any of the Stompies move closed threads to the closed thread folders?

Looks like it. For the record, I just moved the The Natter 76 and the 2019 Goodbye/Good Riddance threads to the closed threads folder, as Topic!Cindy requested. Uh. In December.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can see closed threads, but not archived ones.

I think DXM had done a lot of the archiving. Certainly he did for pre B.org threads at TT and WX.

Not sure where they are now after the switch to the new board.

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

Do new registrations have to be approved by a stompy or do they just go through?

Also, just a heads-up that we've been mentioned on Twitter which may or may not attract some attention.

On Arthur Chu? I was wondering if anyone was going to take that (inadvertent) bait.

...I kinda want to pull down the shades and pretend we aren’t home but I don’t think that’s actually an option

I honestly can't imagine we would be all that interesting to anyone who dropped by because of that, just having a visceral MEEP about it
