Problems Arise from Threads Being Moved Out of The Pit

As far as I know, the redirect markers last forever. The one for the thread the OP references is still there.

They can be set to expire after a while. I usually set mine to disappear after a week.

Ah. I didn’t know that. The only setting I remember is whether to display one or not.

My preferred method is casting bones.

I thought Boreanaz was a good choice, but they could have went hotter than Deschanel.

pointedly ignores darth panda’s scurrilous lies regarding Emily Deschanel.

People do sometimes forget which forum they’re in. There are ways to check.
I think the point was this: ambushed almost certainly clicked on a thread redirect (which puts the word “Moved” before the thread title), which would mean the thread wasn’t in the Pit anymore. If he was unsure of where he was, there were at least a couple of opportunities for him to see the thread was in GD before he posted: there is the heading at the top of the page, the Forum Jump, and Miller’s mod note.

Well, yes, but that doesn’t make him unsure of where he was, just wrong about where he was. When I clicked on this thread it was in ATMB, but if afterwards, I don’t think a thing about it, I just assume it is in ATMB and get on with life.
