Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I third or fourth that "oh crap," and agree that shutting down regs for a day or three might be wise.

I fourth or fifth it.

I'm considering opening Minearverse Spoilers at People's Forum and going deep underground. Mostly because I want to discuss Lovesick Ass, but also because I am a jerk.

Feeling suffocated, borderline apeshit.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The MSN thing is dated April 5

Oh, nevermind then.

YOU CANT BACK OUT ON A THIRD OR FOURTH, JESS.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Here's a rough count over the last week:

Apr 3 - 25
Apr 4 - 66
Apr 5 - 35
Apr 6 - 16
Apr 7 - 18
Apr 8 - 22
Apr 9 - 12 (so far)

OH YES I CAN!

Is this an official proposal? If it is, then I take back my takeback, and my third or whatever still stands. But since the article was from 4 days ago, the damage has likely already been done.

[eta:

That's not a formal "let's vote on it" proposal. That's a "can we discuss this option" thing.

See? SEE??? My thirding was purely a formality. So THERE.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If the board is handling the volume, does that mean we'd be shutting down registrations for personal reasons?

I think it's an unofficially proposed suggestive suggestion. Or something.

I do need a place to talk Wonderfalls eps. Need need need.

I wasn't suggesting we shut down specifically because of the MSN article. But more because we've been mentioned in a number of places and we've certainly had a not-insignificant number of new regs in the last week. I think it might be beneficial to the board to shut down registrations for a few weeks and see how things shake out.

What is even happening?

I'll sub for Jess PTakeBacker. We're at member number 1413 right now. I think it was 1409 only a few hours ago.
