Title: 2023/10/20 [Epsilon Chapter 45]
Post by: Starcat5 on October 20, 2023, 02:42:45 AM
45-01 - Aligning 24 tracks for fun and profit

Another chapter, another thread. And as the one who has been making these threads for everyone's enjoyment this past year, I have to ask: Why are we prefacing the Subject title with the date the chapter started? I only do that because all the topics from before my tenure as Thread Maker did so. If there is a reason for it, I'll keep it up, but if this is just tradition for tradition's sake, than I would very much like to drop it.  :mowdizzy

On topic, seeing the tentacle wolf reading something for Niall left me wondering... This seems like something Mab (Author) would do in canon just to mess with Dan's spatial awareness early on, but I can't for the life of me remember it happening. If this is DMFA canon, can someone post a link to the page in question?

I was wondering the same thing when it comes to dating the threads. It's a bit of a tedious thing to do and I actually do consider it to be a tradition. It's been that way for as long as I remember. The only recent change is that we agreed to have chapter threads instead of page ones.

I'm all for removing it if it is indeed unnecessary. Or perhaps it will break some sort of script in the background.  :P

Tentacle wolf is also performing an important safety measure by wearing an anti-static bracelet.
No, it will still mean you get shocked if you touch a live connection but at least the expensive machine is safe(r) from your stupid body frying the circuitry.

Yes.  I don't know, but I'd suspect that it is even more important given 'Cubi fashion.

Over 15 and a half years?! What a great safety record! X3

(I could use a 0-days version for my furry friends in the tech sector...)

Personally, I rather like knowing what date a certain thread was started- more or less. Makes a good benchmark for how long the discussion of a page or chapter can last.

It's super strange but, I contacted Jayhawk Cybernetics and their records didn't go back past 01/03/2008.

the tax act says they only have to hold records back that far and are allowed to purge older ones

So it's super nice to have at least a few people that are actively making the threads. :D

True, one of the reasons the chapter threads saw the light of day is related to that.

We need more traffic! What do you suggest? Should we have flame wars, or perhaps AI generated shipping fanfics, Oeh! Drama. Drama always does well.  :3

And here I was thinking I was just some boring tosser.

I don't think flame wars would go down well with the higher-ups. How would you suggest going about the drama?

I don't remember seeing many of the new Primary Line characters you wanted to create.  The only one I can think of is Diego, and he was a retrofit of my old CatBiker character...

Which one? There have been three of them! Four, if you count Dan's grandma.  :P

Lord Cyra is from the Xerian sequel, highly recommended read


but yes it would also be difficult to pick up Dan if your opening line is "i am dating your mum and/or grandma"

perfect for shipping
