Eric: Hrm.
So, we had to lock the comments on a thread.
Only, something in the latest version of Moveable Type is causing the comments people already made to vanish into the night. This is not what we want (we want the record free and open).
So. We're working on that. So if you see comments have vanished on one of the existing posts, know that A) they still exist in the system (I checked) and B) we're working on displaying them again.
Thanks all.

Given the direction in which things were going, I honestly think it was an inevitability.
At least we still have our penis jokes to keep us entertained.

That'll learn me to quote Lewis.

That's too bad. I don't understand why people get all bent out of shape like that.
I think if you select "none" instead of "closed," that could happen. Not sure, though.

Okay, that was me. Who knew that would happen if you hit the "Kill Thread" button?

I believe the situation calls for more vodka. MORE VODKA!

Vodka fixes EVERYTHING.
Well, but for Russian technology, but THAT'S fixed through kicking it. (me wuvs the Russians) n.n

If I have rum and call it vodka instead of actually having vodka, is that an acceptable substitute? =)
Comment from: Danalog posted at November 7, 2005 5:54 PM
rum is inferior!
Comment from: siwangmu posted at November 7, 2005 5:59 PM
No! Rum forever, all hail rum! (yeah, I totally didn't recently discover that some alcohol is actually good)

Coedine.

All of the above and then some.

Tea. In Long Island.

Gin. Gin is the word. Or a good schnapps (not the cheap bubby-and-zaidy stuff).

I have hot apple pie and coffee.
Comment from: Wednesday White posted at November 7, 2005 11:34 PM
Scratch coedine. I think it just stopped working.
ow.

Dammit! Now I want to go read the thread I gave up on two days ago.
Comment from: Eric Burns posted at November 8, 2005 12:02 AM
William -- we have a trouble ticket open with Six Apart. Hopefully soon.

Scratch coedine.
That's pain medicine for both men and women, right?

Danalog: Rum is inferior. Rum must be pushed. It must go down the stairs.
Comment from: Phil Kahn posted at November 8, 2005 1:09 AM
Rats. And I wasn't quite done making penis jokes.

What's sad is that the moment I read this I started going back through the archives to see which thread he was talking about.
Comment from: Daerv posted at November 8, 2005 4:06 AM
Badger Ales! Blandford Fly yum! Yay for Sainsburys...
Comment from: William_G posted at November 8, 2005 5:00 AM
Well Eric, I didn't really want to read it until you told me I couldn't.
Human nature, eh?

And of course no one questions whether it might be the thread about commercialism in organised religion because of course it's the one about whether people should talk about a little known civil war hero.
Sometimes I really do love this place.

(Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am in fact inordinately fond of rum and you are all welcome to buy me some if we ever meet in person)
Comment from: siwangmu posted at November 9, 2005 1:39 AM
Doc: seconded wholeheartedly.
Comment from: larksilver posted at November 9, 2005 11:11 AM
Aye, I'm with Doc and siwangmu on this. This place rocks, partly because of its very quirky-ness.
