  1. It turns out that this "Go to first unread post" feature sometimes acts like a sarlacc waiting to pull all spiderwebbers in with unintentionally redundant posts. :p

     

    (I had made a similar post too, but I always prefer the calling myself an idiot option.)

  2. (And actually, I'm under the impression Jordan is doing something very like elections despite being a monarchy.

    And England is... well, England.)

    King Abdullah still retains a lot of power. Maybe it's a segue into democracy, but we'll see.

  3. Count how many threads we have?

     

    Not counting the ones we can't post in, *cough*ANNOUNCMENTS*cough* there is General, the help thingy under it, Avernum Escape From the Pit, Avadon, Geneforge five, Second Avernum series, First Avernum series, Geneforge, Nethergate, Blades of Avernum, Blades of exile, and the Exile Trilogy!

    You left out the BoA editor, but excluding the announcements forum, that's only thirteen forums!

  4. I saw a news program once about an unusual restaurant in New York City that sells lollipops with various insects in them. They also sell lollipops with arachnids such as scorpions in them.

     

    My dad has a manic-depressive cousin who usually doesn't take his meds. He rolls his own cigarettes and sometimes puts ants in them. He claims that it clears his lungs, but that he wants to die from emphysema.

  5. Spiderweb Software forums. Overthinking everything since September 2001.

    It's certainly not surprising. The status of Spiderwebber cannot be achieved without first leaving one's sanity at the door. The thread has not yet digressed to quantum mechanics or epistemological discussions, so there is still hope for further wandering from the path!

  6. Beef, buffalo, pork, lamb, venison, chicken, duck, turkey, ostriches. I've had a lot of different seafoods but didn't always remember to ask what it was. I'm a big fan of sushi and raw eel in particular. Salmon is a favorite as far as cooked meat is concerned.

     

    I've had ostrich and buffalo burgers before. They're quite good (buffalo is way better than beef), and the eating establishment had a funny name: Fuddruckers.

     

    I'd like to try kangaroo and pretty much any non-poisonous seafood.

     

    ...my mom and grandpa went to Iceland and tried whale there a year ago. She bit into a bunch of blubber and spit it out, but Grandpa apparently liked it. I was in disbelief when they told me this whale story, then I remembered that Iceland still allows whaling. I definitely would not try whale though.

     

    Edit: It's pretty cool that you can see you voted for each option. Just as long as there's an option for anonymity too.

  7. In fact, I would not be surprised to see an even greater resurgence of Refugi on the main (almost typed mane, darn you Sylae) forum.

    I dunno, it seems like overall activity has decreased on the forums since the transition, particularly in the game forums. Maybe people haven't switched over.

     

    General seems fairly active though.

  8. I've noticed that there isn't a list of titles in the help section (Or I just haven't found it). I know people usually make a thread to ask about, but it's nice to have somewhere for reference.

     

    Edit: Mods are blue now. Yay!

  9. On a side note: I think it's kind of odd how the poll results are rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent. Although, it'd be interesting to see if the polling works any differently if there are multiple questions or if respondents are allowed to choose more than one answer. UBBthreads wasn't so great in that regard, after all.
