Today's topic: thread fads.
I like the appreciation threads best; they're usually full of interesting information.

Pssht, "for" threads are better - I always watch the linked YouTube videos.

I like this thread revival thing. It reminds me of the good old days...

The question about any thread fad is obviously whether or not Mifune approves.

It's the YouTube videos that make the threads interesting.

^ Is wrong; the random plot-divulging sessions are much more fun.

Yeah, I think that's long enough; perhaps I should just hit "submit" now?

---|As promised. I got the idea from Wingo in the "I Saw Gaya Hats!" thread, I think it was.

Discuss: thread revival, appreciation threads, "for" threads, ridiculously long polls.

That you did! Thread revival is so much fun! whee So cool dragging up past discussions and re-invigorating them!

Have you noticed that in the past 2 or 3 days we've both more or less dominated these forums? You can't go into an active thread without seeing multiple back and forth posts between us...

Hmmmm.... you forgot to add in plot divulging sessions into the discussion list... I demand it, or I shall divulge a plot against you!!

It's like we've gone 88 miles per hour here in the guilds.

I'll take that to mean there has been a sudden rush of activity after we've been dead so long?

It's been awesome. ^.^ I usually page-dominate anyway, but actually having someone to talk to while I do so has been splendid.

What "treads" are you reviving? Tyre treads?

It's spelled "tyre" over here. (Australian English, Jeoc.)

---|Wow, that won't end well.

Imagine; half the words will have an extra letter 'u', some of them will be spelled with a 'z' at the end and some with an 's', and don't even get me started on vocabulary differences!

...Oh, wait. That'll just make it like normal English, only bigger. Never mind.

Engrish?

---|A (usually) belittling/derogatory term for English that has been badly translated from another language (usually Japanese). Called "Engrish" because of the way that bad Japanese/English translations usually feature an 'r' instead of an 'l' in most words due to the lack of an 'l' in the Japanese alphabet. (So "English" becomes "Engrish", "lovely" would be "rovery" - pronounced "ruv-ree" - and words like "election" are suddenly awkward to say, as was demonstrated to comic effect on a Japanese-made banner supporting former US President Carter during his election campaign.)|---
