It won't work on me; I don't have any life force. I'm just a cold, empty shell of a man, awaiting the end times...

Is it possible for the threads moved into this forum to automatically be tagged such that we know where they were moved from? I think that could improve things a bit.

Thaaat's enough of that. Future questions = PM me.

Double post because I have to bump this and nobody will read it if I merely edit.

The only forum I am leaving unaffected by all this is the Nuklear age forum. It's kinda special and it's topics don't fall under the usual headings so there's no need to move it.

Shiney: "Spam and ANY posts off topic will be STRICTLY disallowed resulting in a mandatory probation of 1 week and a 2 week ban for second offense. Any further will be permanent bans."

*stern look*

That means pretty much "only revive a topic when it's absolutely necessary." If all you have to add is a short humorous one-line post in a topic that's been dead for five months, it is strongly suggested you refrain from it.
=============================
Advice:
When you revive a thread you yourself posted it last, double posts are unavoidable, so don't worry about them in such a case. We'll just edit them when we move the thread back. If you want to save us poor mods work, however, you can take your first post, edit it into the second one and delete the first afterwards. That way you won't have double posted and the post still shows up as a new one. Just like I did here. See what I mean?

As I said, we're gonna do that anyway, so you don't have to.

EDIT: Wait, can regular users even edit posts in here...?
Ehm, if not, disregard that. -_-

This forum is now "post-by-moderation." If you reply to a thread, your post won't show up until a moderator has approved it. This is done to cut down on spammy thread bumpings and on the number of warnings we have to give out.

First post edited to reflect that.
