In some ways I have wrote about this in the bast.
As moderators and others might note that I have posted to the "Ask Ed" in complaint about topic drift.
Far for me to set policy, I however offer the idea that extreme topic drift be deleted at once (including my last post to that scroll). I further request that the scroll be ended every 6 months as opposed to the year as is current policy.
I do recognize under the current coding deletion of a post advances page count as to number of posts and appears not to subtract any posts deleted. I also know that a half failed post attempt does count as a post. The "Ask Ed" clearly shows the most often occurrence, however other scrolls do require a reset. I request that either base code be fixed (yes add to the to do list) or at least a policy be established to at least once a month.

"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.

Aye. As I just said in Ed's scroll, I've been kind of lousy with that lately. I'll try to keep up.

It's an interesting idea, and I might consider it for next year's "Questions for Ed Greenwood" scroll. In fact, given the extensive nature of the scroll, I might even be inclined to offer quarterly sessions. Hmmm.

I'll be getting on that shortly.

At this point, considering that things regarding the update for the site are now moving along, it'd likely be a pointless endeavour to fix the base code. We'll simply want to start utilising the new coding just as soon as we're done.
