Ann, that's a ferret.

That's odd, ita. My message center works that way, but not Read New. When I hit "Read New," I usually get threads in roughly the order they were created.

Not that it causes a problem for me, but I don't know enough about the subject to know whether there may be a problem in the system.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was wondering the same thing as Steph (since deathmatch announcements account for nearly a third of all Press posts). But I didn't realize people were still finding them useful.

Thanks for all the fish.

A third? Really? Huh.

Is this a problem? The announcemnts, generally, I mean?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

32 of the last 100 press announcements, in what was a busy period for press (W&H event, a Buffista vote announcement and results, cancellation). Maybe, as a compromise, a press post when you start a new character, so that people who've been unsubbed can sub if they want, but not for every new round?

But it's not for every new round, just for reminders after a gap of several hours.

Thanks for all the fish.

Is it a problem to have the posts there?

Sorry, I wasn't clear - that's what I meant by a round. "We're starting to deathmatch Xander" would be a new character, and people who hadn't been subscribed to the thread for Dawn (or whoever) would know to go back there. If you're subscribed to the thread, then when things start up after a pause, you get new messages, whether you're using Read New or the Message Center. It's the "Xander again"... "Still Xander"... "Doing more Xander" that I see as the concern.

They don't bother me and are generally the only thing in Press that is relevant to me anyway since I can't go to group dinners in LA etc.

Yes. "Problem" might be too strong a word, but it does make reading the Press thread a bit tedious for non-participants.

But, whatever. I can scroll.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Deathmatch Xander is quite the machine.
