"To tell us that every species of thing is endowed with an occult specific quality by which it acts and produces manifest effects, is to tell us nothing; but to derive two or three general principles of motion from phenomena, and afterwards to tell us how the properties and actions of all corporeal things follow from those manifest principles, would be a very great step." -Issac Newton, Optics"You are what you do not do." - Relax.
Just for the record, there were 7 people. Myself, Mattbot, Sgt. Angua, Victory, Aval, Hyperion and Varthonai, who joined later. I'm pretty sure there were plans for Killing_Time to join as well. But yeah I think we're a pretty big exception to the rule of people not being bothered to combat timezone differences due to the fact that we're in constant contact with each other outside of DQ and have been good friends for a few years now. Not that this feat cannot be achieved by other people on the forum. I mean I'm not saying that we're a lot better and more likable than anyone else on the forum but we're a lot better and more likable than anyone else on the forum.Originally Posted by Paperback Writer
And the rest of the guys think nothing of making me and Warren get up at 9 am on break or on a weekend. On the other hand, we think nothing of keeping playing until after midnight their time :3

Thanks to Varth for the sig.

I would, if I took a shot of whiskey. That shit is real.

Well, when it comes to lengthy and rather putrid discussions [ahem BN], there aren't many things to say. As you all know, BN is designated for such content, which does lend it a bit of validity for what it is, but not a lot. That meaning, "this thread is made for stupid shit" isn't a free ticket to be a deposit for all the virtual faeces west of Albuquerque. I say that only a select two or three threads like it should attain the ability to endure for a long period of time. And, I do admit that BN saves the rest of the forums from stupid, pointless threads by letting people just dump it in there. It also allays the possibility of the PN being completely overloaded with "yeah I just farted and it felt way better than it should have" thusly.
As mentioned before, shutting down or even expanding these megathreads [which, sadly, usually veer towards being derailed] would just end up acting like a massive cancer on the forums. At the same time, as already mentioned, doing the opposite and closing them would result in all of their pointless crap spilling everywhere.
However, some much more linear threads, like the Preview, Sig + Avatar, PN, etc., are almost necessary to the forum. They provide a sense of compactness, but they don't quite take up as much of the forum as BN et al, and aren't as redundant. I don't think that anything should be done to them - or, any megathread currently existing at that. I just think that we should inhibit their numbers, as to prevent any further expansion on their part.
This is just fucking stupid, let's just forget about this, open a new boredom nexus and get on with our lives or lack of them.
You've only got 15 minutes to eat. If you cant finish eating in the time limit I will kill you.
