Speaking of Buzzfeed quizzes. I just took one to find out which Spiderman actor I should date and I got Andrew Garfield, so Buzzfeed quizzes are currently on my good side.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Back in the day threads would often run their course with small talk which wasn't really spammy but it usually didn't add much to the discussion, so the mods decided to pull up a megathread to coalesce all the small talk (just tracked them starting the TET in October 24th 2011 when Dread Lady Nath was still a mod).
And before my time apparently there was an eternal thread from the year of 2003
I guess it's big talk now.

These days we actually manage to keep a TET going for a month before a new one is needed, a few years ago it was pretty much impossible to have a proper conversation in the TETs of those days because of all the hyperactive kids giddily spamposting with licentious abandon. A faction within the moderators managed to gain enough power to cut TET's throat for a while, but that apparently came with side effects which have never been openly discussed with the populace. So TET was restarted and has continued to be an integral part of NationStates General.

And thus TET was no more. It was banned, forbidden in the land. However, the populace never imagined the wrath of the demons they'd released from their prison would inflict upon the rest of the public. Therefore, an emergency meeting of the executive council determined, only after twelve days of the mass chaos, that the best decision was to trap the demons back into the prison from whence they came. Thus peace was ensured forever, or was it? Find out on next week's episode of NationStates General Hospital.

I still miss some of the folks who left or reduced activity since the initial pull of the thread

And some people you just can't seem to get rid of, no matter how much the appeasers residing within the moderator team try to do their part in order to make NationStates a friendlier environment for genocidal totalitarianists.

heh, I recall when the pony megathread was disbanded and there was nothing but "pls reopen thread" on posters flags and sigs as far as the eye could see. Even TG's spread around about it.
