I know this is an old thread, but have been doing a re-read.

Not necessarily directed at you, Somnambulist, moreso those who read-only. You've simply offered another of Anagke's opportunities.

I cannot condone this kind of pervading attitude through my inaction (so I must spend some words here).

This forum has existed for about a year and a half now. In the first at the forumer TSA, we had over two hundred members (none of whom seem to have been Sranc Spam) and who generated the majority of the content on TSA in the ebbs and flows of their participation. All which was ported here to the new reincarnation after the admin system at forumer went sideways.

Since neither many of the content-generating members from forumer TSA post here and the content-generating members from here have sometimes not posted on the old forum, if it was up to me I would bump each and every single thread. But I'd rather it serve as an opportunity for others to do as they feel compelled.

Not even the dead escape the Benjuka Plate.

Though on that note, anyone have any suggestions at how many pages to cap a thread - I think people will be eventually too intimidated to wade through the 100 pages of TSA related art ?

"Several Schoolmen sat at the table below them: an old bearded man wearing robes similar to Eskeles, only trimmed in gold; a Nilnameshi with ringed nostrils and tattooed cheeks; ..."

(My bolding above) The scene is where Sorweel and Eskeles attend Kellhus' audience in the Umbilicus, where he's floating around scrutinizing everyone.  The passage describes all the Grandmasters of the Schools, so logically this must be Saccarees.  Not much of a description, but there you go.

I didn't picture him as old/bearded, thanks for posting that here.

Difficult question to answer. I'd say that in order to make this site more "newbie" friendly, and considering how lower out postership is, that maybe cap it at 2 or 3 pages.
On the other hand, that would be a bit irritating for those having a lenghly conversation about this or that topic. I'm conflicted.
Sooo there's my non-answer.

Lol...

I was originally oriented by Westeros' 21 pages and TSA related art is at 28. Maybe I'll stop it at 30 and TSA related art II can happen.

Well at that point why bother? It takes months to get our most popular topic up that high. There will only be a few topics that will probably ever run into that road block.

Oh, don't be so sure.  I think the post kind is likely to spike after TUC is released.  People who have browsed her or posted in the past will be likely to want to ruminate at least a little about whatever conclusion this saga gets.

[Madness]

I think there will be a spike too.

[Wilshire]

Optimism?  I can't condone this.

[Madness]

You know I have a fucked-up optimist streak .

[locke]

I didn't know there were any optimists that read bakker, I figured those venn diagrams never overlapped.

[Wilshire]

This is Madness!

[Madness]

Lol - and this was never Sparta. That movie ruined my budding online presence...

Also, I  figured it'd be evident from my posts that I believe we humans can affect change for better?

[Wilshire]

Well you continue to ruin it yourself sir. I had no notion of 300 in that sentence when i wrote it.

I think they can too. I just don't think it likely, and certainly not on their own without some kind of prodding (or monetized incentive).

[Cüréthañ]

Could not watch all of 300.  I loved reading about ancient Hellenic culture when I was young and I disagreed with almost every frame that I saw.

I thought it was great. I'll put on the dunce cap though if you wish.

In truth, its a movie and not a documentary, so I can accept it. I try not to let bad physics or impossible science ruin scifi or action or  other movies, so I try not to let bad history ruin those kinds of movies. I just smile, aknowledge that I know better, and move on to enjoy the movie.

Shit, is that optimism is some form... I must try to be more cynical in the future.... madness... From what darkness do these thoughts arise?!

[Cüréthañ]

Haha, yes.  Doesn't help that I think Frank Miller is a tosser either.  It was more than just the hollywood historical perspective though.  As an aussie, I burst out laughing everytime I saw David Wenham with his painted-on abs too.
