It would be nice if we could do it without name-checking him - what with going to all the trouble of taking it out all over the place.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
Would "with the show's creator" be enough?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was just coming over, prompted by the Twitter thread, to ask if anyone has ever reached out to the new owners of That Site, as they still namecheck Fuckhead on their staff page, just so that they know.
I think a statement like Cindy has there is good. I can see value in a "Let Us Speak Of Him No More" approach and not including his name. I can't imagine anyone would find it confusing (maybe in another decade, but bridges, coming to, etc)

What is even happening?
Good point, Trudy.
Would "with the show's creator" be enough?
I like that, amyparker. I'm going to edit his name out of my previous post.

Our wings are not tired.
Do new registrations have to be approved by a stompy or do they just go through?
Good question. I don't know. I'm going to have Brendon register to see what happens.

This is really Laura. Just logged in as Brendon to test. New users don't require any admin action. Also, I don't actually expect he will ever post unless I am incapacitated, and then he would probably just log in as me!

Good idea. I can edit my discussion posts above too.

I like your wording, too, Cindy.

Jossverse does appear in the header for Mejiaville; any thoughts?
I note for the sake of completeness that the thread hasn't been updated in going on 16 years. Which, damn.
