I'm torn between "shun 2020" and "how do we know 2021 is going to be any better?"
Bunnies frighten me.

I have to believe 2021 will be better. Of course I confess to being a determined optimist at my core. But, we will have a new president, and we will get a vaccine for Covid. That has to be better.

What is even happening?
so are we just shunning 2020? cause I don't mind
In the larger sense? LET'S.
In terms of this thread, it doesn't change every year (although it usually gets closed and reopened). Goodbye and Good Riddance gets a new thread each year. I think we were waiting for the stank of the election to subside before we did that one.

Welcome back lurkers! Come and play! You are missed!
I think Goodbye and Goodriddance opens December 1st.

I could well be wrong, and won't search for the real answer, but I think Delurking is a yearly October event in this same thread. But I am good with people delurking whenever they want to through the year. Delurk already!

Yes it was usually opened once a year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyway, lots of people are just nattering and that seems fine!

I feel like I've delurked a couple times and I may no longer be eligible. Is there an amount of lurking time that qualifies you for delurking, do people think? Not a rule, obviously, but a guideline to keep me from popping up every day with "Here again! Did you miss me?... Not yet?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, Emily! I delurked twice, I can't say anything. Welcome back again!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You can delurk as many times and as frequently (or in-) as you like! I declare it to be so.
Always a treat to see your pixels, Emily
Also, linear time has become meaningless so don’t sweat how that affects anything
