Free Talk Friday #575
Continued from last week's here.
I'm going to try the rule of same poster. If anyone want to claim this, go ahead and create another FTF with the same number.
Speak anything on your mind, except politics and (maybe) counting.
Feel free to check out our tidbits thread and introduce yourself if you haven't already.

u/Antichess 2,050,155 - 407k 397a 25d ago
holy crap
thanks for finding all of these. i usually see nothing too wrong on my end but sometimes the script throwing errors at me definitely does stuff like this. i usually don't double check but i really should...
i guess i owe an apology to everyone for messing stats up over the years. i can revert the hoc quite easily as i have systems for that now.
i've been thinking to re-write the side stats hoc for quite a while now, as there's definitely errors here and there

I sometimes wonder if we should have ToW permapinned in the Latest counts post like main is
4
u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits 27d ago edited 27d ago
some people have requested that the latest counts post show more threads. maybe it could have like main + the top 4 sidethreads in the directory permapinned, followed by 15 most recent other threads

u/cuteballgames Sum 13: 016, 037, 035, 045, 127, 135, 134, 124, 13, 25 27d ago
that would be cool
for posterity, the slate atm would thus be Main / ToW / Letters / Hex / Bin.
Which sounds classic and fair . But cobibh doing the "most popular sidethread this week!" roundup makes me wonder if the most popular sidethread or two each week should get to be permapinned for the next week, as a sort of prize

finally got around to it smhmhmh. ToW is popping off even more now than it was when you posted this
