They don't contain it though.
They just generate more spam in a confined space.

Hmm...
1. It inflates post count, which counts for something here.
2. Spam threads are a nightmare to moderate, since they grow so rapidly.

Anarchy is coming up in the near future. Hold on, baby.

They definitely don't.
Not to say I don't like them, but refer to what Cheat posted.

So hey Cheat, you should move that 52 page thread into Anarchy then.
I'll make a note of it and do so later, unless RC is cool with it disappearing from his view until the next round of chaos?

Well it's locked already anyway.
By the time Anarchy rolls around, it'll be buried under two weeks worth of threads.


Oh Nuka.
How's the nameplate coming along?

It'd be on the top of Anarchy, actually, since it would have been created long after the board closed.

Also, most of the threads are being discarded and we are starting fresh. I'll keep the popular threads by default, but if you want one kept then PM me and I'll make sure it doesn't go the way of the dinosaur.

As long as it doesn't get subtracted from our post counts. I don't have time to post constructively all day. The only way I'll ever get my own nameplate is to post constructively 20% of the time and shitpost with no thought 80% of the time :P

MFW my evil plan worked


Huh.

Wasn't my plan and I thought the posts would be conserved. Previous versions of SMF didn't re-check for this, so I just assumed...

Well since threads in Anarchy don't count towards post count, it was pretty safe to assume that a thread being moved into there would subtract from total post count.
In previous software, SMF didn't re-count all the posts you made; your count went up when you made a post, but there were no checks after the fact.

In any case, I've moved the thread back to The Flood, so the posts should come back for you people.
