If you do, gawd please don’t lock it then let it hang around as some sort of zombie / dead corpse forum like last time. ---

Is it too soon to ask about April Fools Day? 🙂 Actually, I’ve always wondered…for at least the past 25 years, that is… How far in advance do you plan things like that? -D/a ---

No contest this year – it was a one-off deal. (Also, we’re out of prizes.) ---

Please do open a forum for halloween discussions, and call it “BRAAAINSSS” and then just lock it on November 1st and let it stay viewable until July 2013. ---

I was going to ask this, too, but since I believe it started at the beginning of October last year, I assumed the answer was no. I liked it because I liked having inline pictures of costumes.
