I'm surprised we're still able to go on, no mods are here still... I get they're volunteers, but someone should've stopped us a long time ago.

Yes, I was going that route in terms of abbreviation. How do you derive little pleasure from gambling the life and death of your accounts?

As it should be, because it is the polite thing to do. Plaster a synthetic smile on your face and keep the real you hidden from sight.

Because where else will I procrastinate my continued premise reboots and factbook-stalling? NS is my one source of putting things off where I can get away with it.

We got a bot searching through NationStates, so no mods. I'm selling popcorn for $10, high quality and buttered popcorn. Who wants? Nobody? Alright, I'm going to take a slow walk to the dumpster.

They really don't care, except for the spam. The issue that clogged up the server with long threads supposedly is gone.


While I wouldn't argue that it is gone, the 500 limit is not a rule breaking thing.

The 500 limit is a technical thing. We used to have 1000(and before that: none), until [v] noticed that a 1000-page thread was clogging up the server, so she halved it to 500.

That means that at 500 a thread gets closed, but 501 or even 510 won't suddenly be a complete disaster.

The mods that finish prematurely at 495 or so, well, draw your own conclusions :p

The first Die Hard movie is considered to be one of the more violent Christmas movies. Nerds more dedicated than we are even create Christmas decorations inspired by said classic action movie.
