if they published 'my wifes a slut' surely they have no problem with 'bitch to land'

I'm up for it, but is that what we want to do? I'm honestly sure which is more confusing - to have one main thread that may confuse newcomers, or to have two new threads per week (one for nominations, one for the poll).

RE: Disappearing posts
Does it have something to do with bookmarks? If I hit F5 and reload the page, some posts are missing, but if I click on the bookmark, and then on "show all messages", it DOES appear.

It's an optimization for loading long threads; the first 50 posts and the last 50 posts are shown with a link in the middle to load the hidden ones in order to decrease the the amt of data requested from the web server. It's been there since this iteration of the ILX code went live.

― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 15 June 2009 21:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Yep. Every once in a while, the "show all messages" link doesn't show, either at the very top or in the middle, and it just skips from a message 5 days ago to one about 50 minutes ago.
