The Swim Archive

[mahala_la_la]

If I remember correctly, it is actually several threads merged together.

[NoProof91]

Really?

Well that would explain the size of that thread.

It's true that larger threads can sometimes cause problems when moving them around.

But I have checked out the discussion a few times and the times I saw it, I definitely think it's archive worthy.

Link me to the original discussion and I'll see what I can do.

Wow, you're awesome Luuv 

Here's where it got started:  FMA thru episode 26

Then the largest thread was this one:  FMA Continuing Discussion

The next one is here:  FMA Continuing Discussion Vol. 2

Vol. 3 is still active. 

Edit:  Nevermind I saw your response to Penguin.  I heard there was a bigger thread (not counting the one in archives that's a combination of threads, 'cause that's cheating)  Oh well, as long as they don't get deleted I guess we'll just have to be content with the way it is.

Well I archived the first one, because it was small enough there probably wouldn't be a problem.  But the others - the "continuing discussion" ones are pretty big and I'd hate for them to end up in the archives with giant chunks missing or something.

[Runescapian]

Maybe make a post with links to the threads and archive that?

[katt_goddess]

I'll pop this in here since it's not a matter of huge, pressing importance [and the banning / thread action thread is a scary place full of yelling people].

Could some beloved mod of infinite grace and wonder point their magic wand and de-sticky the July thread and sticky the August thread in Culture? I don't change the link in my sig until a new one is floated [to be fair in case an Admin / Insider and / or Mod makes an official submission thread instead] and my sig is starting to smell. Thanks in advance.

Also, got Fabreze?

[SwimMod_Luuv]

I keep seeing people asking and by the time I see it, I assume somebody's already done it.  But nope. 

so I did it.

so - where's my present?

[J_2]

can you guys like, Float this thread?

[SwimMod_Luuv]

hmmm don't think so at least - no for me.

It's not an altogether bad idea for a thread.  Just - for my money, what with all the floats folders tend to pick up as it is, not quite something I would float.

[J_2]

aww.... but you do like it right?

[SwimMod_Luuv]

sure why not.  It's an interesting idea for a thread.  And it's clearly marked/obvious that spoilers will be discussed in the thread.

[J_2]

well i had hoped for that thread to be floated.

ahh...

[someday....]

Could you float my Space Ghost vol. 4 DVD online petition thread?Support the cause!

If not, how about signing it? This petition needs the luvv.

I'm not sure what the delay is about.  It might have something to do with legal/clearance issues on interviews or something that like - doesn't matter if there's a petition or not, it's just going to be able to get released when it's able to get released.

I'm with you though in that I can't wait.  It's one of my alltime favorite all time shows of all time.

[Jeffchao228]

Well I figure shows will have a delay because they have to have a screening test with Turner and Cartoon Network in order to pass, otherwise they will eaither skip episodes or not air the show at all.

It's going to be great when it's finally over and released. Some guy made a youtube video helping us with our cause. Check it out. Under sig below.

1. The olfactory gift of my oh-so-fresh sig now airing itself all over the boards.

2. The tactile gift of party.

3. The gift of safety for those long hard nights of patrolling the boards.

$...4?...oh, so close to pron, but as we all know, there is no four.

 edit- killed the pop-up link-thingie. I didn't know that link would do that...

Because I'm going to be good and not comment in the mod thread...a reply to a query about there being any official rules of mod conduct or something official like that...

>.< i snorted whipped cream into my sinus cavities. i hate so much right now...no one gets double-extra-score-bonus-points on me...there will be payback involved somewhere. One day...when you least expect it...boom, a milk-through-the-nose one-liner just for you. it will happen.

[Jeffchao228]

That has got to be the worse, since I know Soda would do a similar effect, but that is if you burp when there is too much gas inside your stomach.

Pop burns, whipped cream just gets all gross and slimey. And since it's thicker than pop, it lingers longer too. O.< Bleck.

I can reach Carnegie Hall levels of belching with very little effort. I don't normally worry about pop or anything else up the nose if I'm doing something deliberate. It's just when someone is actually able to surprise me [which is really rare] that this happens. I'm usually the one that people are careful when drinking around.

[Jeffchao228]

Well I'm sure not one mod here does that, even if they wants us grossed out, I mean that would just make some here want to vomit of course.

I know at least Odin's brother belches fairly well. Unfortunately, I heard he also throws up too. Odin linked some quality belching in a thread in IB awhile back so Odin, at least as far as mods go, is no stranger to artistic belching.

I suppose I could request that the mods post their best burps for rating...

Well just make sure Odin does not toss any pics regarding that, it is bad enough anyway.

Thank you very much.  These are threads that contributed to the warm community feel of the [as] boards.  Here were a couple of the comments made about archiving them:

That was the first thread that I ever really joined in any discussion in when I first joined the boards.  *memories*   I don't have that one floated anymore.  I still have the one that reached 247 pages floated just for fun.  That one's not archived, is it?

---

Yay, they finally archived the FMA discussion! That was my first venture into the boards, and where I made my first close friends. I hoped it would get archived and not deleted or something. That is great memories. I still have them all floated cuz I never took the trouble to unfloat them. What I always wanted to see was for them to combine them all in archives, but I'm told the sheer magnitude of the threads would crash the boards.

I often wondered that myself.

Cosign.

Jeffchao really complains too much. Where does he get the idea that everyone hates him?
