u could link the new thread link in the main thread and ask ppl to go there

What are the arguments against having the title changed? Is it for 'history' sake? Clinging to the irony of "still hilarious"? Title change could set a 'precedent' where ilxors flood mods demanding thousands of threads having the title changed? Idgi.

If changing the title decreases the odds of a nuclear strike by even as little as 5% then I still think we should do it

wait KJU posts here? what's his screenname

Otm. If ILX mods won't allow a thread title change North Korea basically has this in the bag.

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 23:27 (six years ago) link

I don't think anyone is against it just some ppl don't care and it seems like the mods are among those ppl?

Mordy, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 23:29 (six years ago) link

could maybe wait for one of them to see it and weigh in

Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 23:30 (six years ago) link

It would appear so.

Seems like the tiniest of efforts to adjust the ~ilx experience~ for one of ilx' most esteemed users, who takes genuine issue with the title, to just backspace the words "still hilarious". But mods might hold other, more mysterious principles in higher regard.

Likeliest case is that a mod hasn't noticed the request yet.

precisely

Thought crut was a mod, my bad

Personally I prefer to keep old titles, but there seems to be enough of a push for change here, so I've changed it for you.

hopefully we will all learn to live despite the change of title. things will never quite be the same, but i suppose we will all muddle through it somehow

i used to be a board mod of a super-top-secret hidden borad but got my powers revoked after I unlocked a thread that another mod had locked

crüt, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 00:29 (six years ago) link

We should now keep bumping this thread until a mod locks it from sheer irritation.

How time flies... Crut for borad mod imho.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 9 August 2017 00:32 (six years ago) link

Let's discuss the pros and cons of that proposal and how it might affect the North Korea thread title.
