Regarding the fun threads here in Meta....

Hi, guys!

I think this is really amusing, but we moderators have a request. If you're going to post goofy stuff here in Meta, please keep it to just a couple of threads, and come up with some sort of [descriptor] to identify them. As we scan here for problems, it'll make sorting through the fun and the not-so-fun things a lot easier.

I don't care what the [descriptor] is - it could be [monkeys] or [hive mind] or [*whack*] or whatever, but keep it consistent.

Thank you - carry on!

*WHACK*

I vote for [Hivemind]

It's the best descriptor tag.

I kinda liked *whack*, but I guess it could be confusing for Hong.

Hivemind works.

Are you thinking about a new Sacred Thread?

I'm still surprised we got away with the last one.

Lets not push our luck by highjacking Piratecats cautionary note though.

Dear lord... that thread was at 11 pages. ENWorld was down for me for a day. I check in this morning, 7:30 AM PST, and it's at new SACRED THREAD status and closed?

Awwwwww, I missed all the fun!!

Thank ye, thank ye.

I am honored to be a part of the new sacred thread, even if I was asleep while it was achieving holiness.

Isn't that why we're deciding on a tag.

So everyone can look at the list and find out exactly how much fun we're haing with a glance?

I keep wondering if it was always like this, or I just happened along at the right time.

It's been spotty, Morrus's ... thread was fun and has since made a comeback, i missed the Sacred thread (Stupid Gen-Con!), and now the big surge over the last couple weeks. I think it's just been a little boring in the industry lately, no big releases or lay offs to get people going.


BTW, i like [Hivemind].
