I don't know about making three threads, but don't leave us hanging there dude! Give us a title!

I don't really know what you're suggesting. It seems like a rant ending in "this is getting out of hand". What is 'this'? People making threads to discuss current news in the General Forum? O_o

If you're proposing that we merge all threads that are "remotely interesting," I don't really see how that would work.
What we DO need is a news feature along the side of TL. That would work like a normal forum/subforum but it's automatically locked as soon as it's posted, and people can PM the OP if there is something they want added to the OP. That way we don't get "obligatory posts" that basically just say: "that's horrible."

Dearest Mods.
It has come to my attention that you have released TDL from his posting cage. As a concerned netizen of the once quiet lands of TL, I request that this be rectified. The past weeks have been blissfully free of thesis length blogs and endless commenting on a certain posters icon. However, no doubt due to a miscalculation, the pasta-man himself has slipped his bonds of silence and is free once more to swamp our fair pages with posts.
I humbly request that he be readily captured and returned to his steel residence.
Yours concerned

Imprisoned for 10,000 years, the tyrant has finally slipped free of his bonds and is ready to ravage the forums of TL once more!

Even though I played WoW for 3 or 4 years, I still immediately think of Power Rangers and not Illidan when I see "10,000 years"

Serious question time, any news on the next Pony Tales?
I'm still getting a kick out of the last one. It hurts but it is worth it...
