Yes, but who decides what is 'quality' and what isn't? Us? The mods? One man's junk is another man's treasure, right? If you think it's junk, simply don't open it/post in it.

But surely the members housekeep the threads themselves, when they don't post in them and the threads disappear to the annals of DL history? That's like have a perfectly good layer of dust hidden under a sofa. It is doing no one any harm there, until someone comes along and stirs it all up, causing it to get into peoples' airways, as said stirrer points out that there's a lot of dust in the air and shouldn't someone clean it up. Just leave the dust man! These threads clutter up the search facility, why ignore the detritus, better to delete it or if possible merge into another more appropriate thread. But you can refine your search to specific periods of time, so if you don't want to include anything old, you don't have to. On the other hand, if you want to do a bit of archive searching, to reminisce about the good ol' days or something, then the threads are there if you want them. Surely it's not that much of a problem.

Okay CP! Is it really necessary to dredge up all of these old threads from the oblivion that is the DL basement? Surely part of CR's point in unlocking a lot of the threads was that when they served their purpose, they would meander at their own speed to the bottom of the pile via the natural course of their death. You dredging them up to point out that they are obsolete serves no purpose.

What an excellent idea for a thread, Bou! I personally wil not be making pancakes, though I will be consuming pancakes made by a friend of mine. I believe we are going to be having a three-course pancake meal. One course may involve pancakes shaped as dinosaurs. With regard to recipes, I think this would be an excellent place for Lady G to post her mother's Xmas pud recipe... And in the spirit of reciprocal recipe/food sharing, here is a photo of the wontons I made last night, during the wonton extravaganza: (This is only a small, represntative sample of the multiplicitous wontons which were consumed as part of the extravaganza...)

That's what I'm talking about! Nice one! The three of us are SERIOUSLY gonna live it up [editor's note: er... die it up?]! I never understood the problem with hell; given my propensity to constantly be freezing cold, the ultra-warm temperature of hell is very appealing. I think that having my feet "licked by flames" as I "kick and writhe desperately" sounds particularly enjoyable. I have a thing for feet.

Excellent! We shall have the most fun! (And, as aforementioned, we shall be the best kitted out level as well.)

If you listen closely, you can hear the pitter-patter of feet, as Entropy dances around in jubilation.

Not I. While it's true that hell has all the perks, the installation contract went, through bribery, to the Southern Baptist Convention. Ah well, that's alright then. As noted elsewhere, the Baptists do have the best merch.

Oh dear. I have: to look forward to. And I even answered 'false' to the statement "A pimp is a good thing to be." While you're all living it up in Level 6, I'm gonna be stuck in bloody Level 8 with the magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and pandas. Could someone get cracking on having deadchat installed for me?

An excellent resource! I am personally very grateful to the above-contributing geeks, for helping me to leave my chat-virgin self in the past. BTW - my anorak still looks gorgeous, even though I haven't taken it off since it was given me.

I wish I could deny that!

Oh yes. When I was growing up in Alberta there was a teacher named James Keengstra, who was a holocaust denier. He was subsequently tried and convicted of being a total prat. This is the same part of the province, I believe, where there were a number of cross burnings around the same time. Ah, memories of redneck Alberta.

Poor Mrs Lillian Gertrude Asplund! She experiences trauma the likes of which I can't even imagine, goes on to live for yonks, and has probably spent most of said yonks deflecting nosey bastards such as yourselves! I mean honestly. Why don't you leave her alone? You want to know what happened that night in April? Watch the film. I hear they used authentic dishes from the period in all of the dining scenes. PS. Punctuation is your friend.

I have been mulling this article over since I read it yesterday. I don't get why raping someone who is unconscious is worse than raping someone who is conscious. I mean, if the whole point of rape is that it is non-consentual, then surely the two crimes are equitable? In fact, it strikes me that raping someone who is conscious is worse than raping someone who is unconscious, because the victim must forever suffer the memory of the incident, whereas someone who is unconscious has no recollection of it. If we begin with the premise that the crime of rape is in-and-of itself wrong, then surely there should be no stratification of the victims. It seems to me that the implication of suggesting that raping someone who is unconscious is "worse", is based on the idea that at no point did the victim have the capacity to 'fight back'. To me, that's like saying that people who are raped whilst they are conscious really had the option stopping the rape, because they could have fought back harder.

No matter what selection of options I request, the only thing my name anagrams into is: 'n' mutineer.

My goodness! Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? (PS. I agree, CP, with all above-made points, but especially points three, four, and five).

Mr Rock! That is not the kind of attitude that's going to get you an interview! Chin up, old chap! I'd recommend flatterly and bribery.

Before this thread is, in fact, locked, I would like to add my two sents. I have recently become somewhat incensed over the amount of bollocksy threads/posts on this forum. I find them all eminently uninspiring and unpostable in. I don't understand what has happened. I find this more enflaming than threads being locked. Though of course I give HoS my full support in his endeavours.

(Hope it's a raucous one...)

God help us all!

Methinks we already have one here?

After several days of relative calm, it would appear that peace has befallen the shores of the Wiki World. In an exclusive interview, RMHED (protagonist extraordinaire) informed this correspondent: "I just can't be bloody bothered anymore", electing instead to be The Bigger Man. Thus, via the manifold shapes through which the DeathList entry has progressed, has emerged the DL entry in its (currently) final version: Unconfirmed sources suggest that our hero, who shall remain unidentified as he prefers to operate under the Potteresque cloak of anonymity, is currently taking a well-deserved camping holiday in Skegness. Antihero Qualtoo's whereabouts are unknown. In other news, there have been reported sightings of a spotty-faced adolescent spraypainting DeathList Sux! on several historical monuments. Investigations are ongoing.

At this moment, the online list is showing that nine separate guests are printing. Hm. So either there are nine guests printing one thing off, one guest printing nine things off, or multiple guests printing multiple things off, depending on how the software compiles this information. I would assume it's the first of the three options. We certainly are getting popular. Well, at least amongst those with printers.
