Oh dear. You guys said you weren't gonna do it.
This is true, and I didn't know DX was around.
So, you know. Stuff happens.
Only one (75) has messages in it. Nuke the others, I guess.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I closed the second clone. You know what would help? Could we list the thread number somewhere in the thread maintenance page. Don't need it normally, but if we do get doubles it would be awfully helpful.

Great idea changing the names, DX. I wouldv'e given them totally different names (dropping the "Boxed Set" altogether), but your names are funnier.

If y'all can create threads and rename them how come you can't uncreate them? Not that the triple X thread spurt wasn't amusing and all.

Because only ita can kill a thread.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Because only ita can kill a thread.
Is that an administrative thing, or does she just claim dibs on all the killing round here?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(If I'd thought of changing titles, I'd have been tempted to change the wrong!BoxedSets to "these are not the threads you've been looking for." Mostly, though, I'm glad I wasn't around at the right moment to make it four...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the code was written assuming the complete perfection of all admins. Which is so self-referentially flawed that I may disappear in a puff of logic.
If there are no messages, I can delete ASAP. And that should be on the features list (in addition to the display of thread ID on the thread maintenance page).

I also considered changing them to something like "Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Dragnet, I Dream of Jeannie, and Dynasty."
