It’s the title of the OP.

Well… the NO LONGER part was nowhere near as obvious as the new [Please Don’t Donate] part.
I need only to point you to the recent thread where the title AND OP said something like "I’m a 44 year old American. . . "
And follow-up posts had shit like:
“Well, I’m not sure if you’re in highschool or what, but. . .”
And
“Well, not sure what country you’re in, but banks in Swaziland are . . .”
Like I said, people are not as observant as you might give them credit for. Lots of people quickly read titles and hit off key words that make them open threads.
I think the latest change with the Please Dont Donate part is more than adequate, though. (For most)

The thread title is _always_ the title of the OP.

I am glad indeed to see this happen. I was a bit worried, to be totally honest, when the woman who usually organized this sort of thing passed on (RIP **Persephone** ).
It’s good to see someone step up and take the torch.
Also, my wife just told me that I will never have to justify my SD Membership again. Heheh…
