I haven't changed anything, as best I know, just to make that clear before-hand.

In the Games conference, for some reason, all posts relating to Fallout 4 seem to have jumped to the top? But the only post with anything in it newer than 2015 is the "Return to the Commonwealth" one, as best I can tell. I thought there might be some sort of an edit in them, that's happened, but no. Nothing noted 'edited', or with a timestamp of 2017 in any way. And the one thing all have in common is that they mention Fallout (4) at all.

So...forum glitch, browser glitch in some obscure way, or easter egg for upcoming stuff?

That's because they weren't in the games forum (they were originally in General), and for some reason when you use the admin tools to move topics from one forum to another, they always end up on top regardless of when the most recent post was. (That's also why the Guns of the Week are all in the wrong order.)

Ah, that would explain it. Didn't actually realize they were.

Well, I suppose there really is no "wrong" order for those. They're very non-chronological now, though, because of the move. (Some of them have actually been moved twice, once from private-mail where it started to Misc, and then again to their own board.)

Also, this thread should've been in The Forum Itself, not Website. So there's that. ;)

Wrong nation. Brits don't do that sort of thing, at least not with that wording.

Heh. You've also given me a GREAT setup for someone's Kancolle fic where today's installment is once more several countries disconnected by a common language. (for sufficent mis-definitions of common)

At my last job, being one of the oldest people there, and needing a cane sometimes, I got some astroturfy stuff from Goodwill and put it by my desk on those days, for just such a thing.

Ha! while I have no need of a cane (yet), one of the guys at work got me one (and a bit of astroturf), exactly the same...and now people have taken to distinctly AVOIDING the astroturf :)
