This post should be split off into a separate thread.

That brings up a good question, recently Tim started a "Megathread", is he authorized by the Languish mob to make such a decision?

Only the Megathread Police have the constitutional and statutory authority to create Megathreads.  Don't worry, it's a posse coitusinterruptus thing.

But that would refute your own point that there is no need for a megathread.  :hmm:

Well, there was a stroke involved, so don't expect too much logic.

Well I guess most countries have their own right wing nutjob party, and a megathread would be mostly about their antics, such as reinstituting the death penalty, now by gas chamber!, etc. Small stuff.

There'd need to be another Danish poster to argue with you about stuff. I suppose Jacob would do.

I think Danish politics would need a gigathread.

Could we turn this into the cross-country skiing World Championship megathread (with the appendix "... that only very few care about")?

Some Canadian bloke beat our beloved Vikings today.  :Embarrass:

Well, you already suck at biathlon so it can't come as a shock. Although a Canadian? :hmm:

30 km. The Russian won. A Swiss in second. Then a fucking Canadian.  :cry:

A Norwegian did crush everyone in the skijump though. And not by landing on, well, everyone.

we will have to merge the "Danish politics megathread" with the "What's exciting in Wyoming?" megathread.

What the hell is a megathread anyway.

They seem no different from regular threads, which mean you faggots are violating the Languish rules of thread naming, which clearly states that threads should be named in a descriptive manner so languistahs don't waste their valuable time clicking in threads about topics they are not interested.

That's why I always clearly name my few threads, because I highly value your time and your freedom to choose what your read.

I believe the term was coined by Tim to make himself and his threads seem special; if not coined by him, then mostly used by him. Since then, more have shown up, primarily to make fun of Tim.

Hey Jacob, since when are you a moderator?
Does that means you can see my ISP address and basicly know everything about me?
Title: Re: The Megathread Thread
Post by: Admiral Yi on February 25, 2015, 01:18:01 PM
A megathread is intended to be a repository for posts that are thematically related, but might be spread over time.

For example, instead of starting a new thread about each movie that comes out, we have a movie megathread.

I don't know what are Appletini Jell-O shots, but if you are refering to me posting while having a couple of beers, I haven't done that in a while. My wife was expending time with her mother that wasn't doing so well of health, and i was along here in Ft Campbell, so I had the opportunity to drink-while-posting from home, instead of like now posting from my army computer, where of course I cannot drink.

Oooh, good point.    Paladins are forbidden to use ranged weapons like slingshots.  They also have to use plate armor, which means no sandals.
