It had 12 posts when I spotted and reported it. The funny thing is that it was close enough to on-topic that I had to check.

The Terrified thread post? Yeah, that fooled me for a moment as well, until I did a double-take and saw the link.

What are the qualifications to be promoted to bay watcher? Like I remember it happening but I don't know why, did I get a master seal without noticing or something?

I belive it's just a few posts.

That's the one.

I just found four of those posts completely randomly just through clicking on threads in New Replies.

10 posts. That's it.

It's common for SMForums (and other forum software, probably) to give users titles based on post count, but Bay 12 has only Escaped Lunatic and Bay Watcher for regular users (probably part of the 'no playing favourites' philosophy). Admins also have the power to give custom titles, such as Toady's 'The Great'.

I was crouched down sorting my bookshelves (I have a tendency to leave the things scattered willy-nilly around the apartment, and then shove them almost at random on the shelves when I get fed up with the mess) when I started idly flipping through my early-edition (undated, but pre-1920s, as that is when the publisher of this copy went out of business) copy of Little Women. Next thing I know my leg is starting to hurt and thirty minutes have passed.

...why do I hear fireworks outside? Is it due to Trump's election?!

[Egan_BW]

You're in Russia, right? So probably.

[Greiger]

Those aren't fireworks, those are explosions.  There are riots in the streets as trump is being sworn into office today.  The people who supported hillary are fighting against the trump supporters in a massive fight to the death.

Only the strong will survive.  ...or the people who aren't all that worked up either way.  They'll survive too.

Sometimes I think things would be better if, instead of polls and scandals and fake news and ad hominem, presidential succession was settled in a good old-fashioned gladitorial match

I don't think Hillary would have won that either

A third candidate might have though.

My, oh, my... I do believe monarchy is not quite as awful as it is presented. There ought to be someone born, rather than elected, available to say "Absolutely not!" in some occasions. No one does well in an environment of full support. Of course, that goes for monarchs as well. And corporate executives. If a boardroom, throne room or office lacks a luddite being obstinate and causing the odd row and being a bother, things are not as they ought to be.

This explains why all your shitposts turn into tracts halfway through.

I like to think my tracts turn into shitposts

Screw C.S. Lewis. Screw that guy.

Damn right.
Narnia is bad enough, but his other books are even worse.

Why the hate for C.S. Lewis
Chronicles of Narnia was dank
