There are more than 1000 topics for General. Or, rather, there used to be more than 1000 topics. However, the forums must be purged now and then, so they only appear in Arancaytar's archives.

The boards get purged... doesn't that mean that that ridiculously high numbered topic the prophesies speak of will never happen?

Another victory for the Concluding Resolution.

Depends upon how Jeff wants to deal with the glut of junk that has been posted especially during the recent spamfest. There are several topics that got locked in the last week that if deleted would never be missed.

The prophecies don't speak of post numbers. They speak of forums. While forums can be and have been purged, the numbers aren't reused.

By 'our' you mean yours and mine, right? We're pretty much the only people left who actually remember Misc, along with maybe Thuryl and a couple of others.

Edited for accuracy and removal of that pesky first person.

Hey, I just think of it as one of the perks of having been around for a while. I get to get all misty-eyed while reminiscing about the good old days, and when the newcomers ask me to explain I can just sigh and say that words don't do it justice.

—Alorael, who has decided that Misc. was a pretty good thing before its last days. It had its moments, and nobody ever had to justify creating a thread solely for the purpose of editing others' posts.

Why is this being celebrated when four of the most recent topics have been locked?

Ok, so this should be locked, now that I've seen what has been locked already. :rolleyes:

Lock away.

Three of those four were created after this one. That's something to be concerned about to be sure, but it's not this thread's fault.

And Dikiyoba doesn't think we're celebrating so much as we're reminiscing and teaching GoodCanisters new things.

As I understand it, the mods don't usually lock topics that are likely to simply die a natural death of their own uselessness unless there is flaming or the spam is getting out of hand. Or perhaps they simply haven't gotten around to it.

Maybe mods should occasionally go back and lock topics to prevent necromancy. While most topics die natural deaths, there have been some popping up recently and getting locked because the new posts weren't useful additions.

True, but it's also good bait to draw in necromancers looking to revive topics for no good reason. Also, someone at a later date may have something important to add to that topic.
