HT would probably save loads of time in future by linking an explanation in the signature.

I'll save even more time by removing the custom title. :sigh:

There's a reason we don't allow 4chan or Encyclopedia Dramatica content on HLP. The vast majority of members have no interest in polluting HLP with the dregs of the Internet. Having a title like that just raises too many questions and/or allows too many opportunities for people to start bringing things up.

The "Pool's Closed" thread is borderline, but allowable because it deals with people's reactions and not with the content itself. Plus it'll drop off the first page after a few days. A title is not as transient.

Fair enough, I guess the joke ~~would've gotten~~ ~~got old pretty soon~~ has been old for ages anyway. Rationally thinking, I'd rather have a custom title that doesn't confuse the heck out of people who don't know what made it funny, or none at all. :)

Isn't that redundant?

Post by: Flipside on July 22, 2008, 11:31:28 am: Well, since the title has been changed back, this thread is certainly redundant ;)
