I assume because my face wasn’t in it and the tits were large and, fuck, I have no idea why. Either way, just an amusing anecdote. ---

Not to play junior moderator, just informationally, I’ll note that the policy here is to leave threads open unless there is substantial reason to close them. Things like spam, trolling, or absolute train wrecks. “Run its course” has never, to the best of my knowledge, caused a thread to be closed\*. Should new revelations come to light (heh, heh) anyone is free to come back to this thread and post them. \*Well, in GQ a thread might be closed if the factual answer has been provided and the OP’s question answered. Although you asked a question, I think this thread has involved a bit more than factual answers, so I doubt it would be closed. ---

I suppose putting it in the pit would indeed make non GQ rules apply ^^ I suppose that would explain a lot of random necrobumping of really old threads. Thanks 🙂 ---

Yes. ATMB seems to have bi-monthly recurring threads with variations on the topic “What can we do about the zombies?” The current answer seems to be that many of them are harmless and will be allowed to run on. Others, especially highly controversial or confrontational threads that are outdated and include many now-gone posters, may be locked with the suggestion to open a new thread and link to the old one as reference. ---
