      I've paid no attention and have no idea what the changes will be but I plan on being angry and self-righteous about them anyway. It is my responsibility as a member of the internet.

      Will the chatty be named something else (daily) since it's posted once per day?

      I'm not sure that it will be ready by Wednesday, but I'm not fully in the loop on this.

      I'm going to bump all my old posts in the last 60 seconds before they expire.

              How have people not gotten the message about this by now?

              I know that. I'm bump posts to front page and then when people reply they'll wonder why the post disappeared.

                    Because it's going to happen to every post, and since most posts are made during the daytime, that's when the posts will disappear?

                  I think posts should fade out or change color as they age like old dog noses

                    from what i can tell, dognose has neither faded out nor changed color.

                  To help this, they should write the date of posts in the format

                  "X hours ago"

                  instead of

                  "Feb 22, 2011 12:04pm CST".

                  And maybe also add some emphasis on the date when it's a few minutes from expiring.

                    yeah or some kind of subtle UI indicator. Like a little clock or something when it's an hour from death

                      maybe the thread should initially be marked as such: \8=================-=====D/ and the cockboat should progressively shrink until it reaches the size of \8=D/ which is when we'll know there's only one hour left in this thread.

      So i'm still a bit confused here. When the threads expire after 24 hours are they deleted? Or can you go back and view them?

      • reply
        February 22, 2011 4:12 PM

        You can go back and view them, they just won't show up when you go to the Chatty.
