@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

Just Curious: why is every thread in every topic locked?

Maybe Jough is hurt that we didn't invite him to be part of our polygamous fancy-breakfast-eating commune in Utah.

Of course you're invited, Number One!  Let our threads go!

I didn't even notice at first - very strange. Maybe Sara has more power than she admitted? Or maybe Jough isn't as hands-off as he said.

Maybe this wouldn't have happened if we'd all remembered to add "Coldplay sucks" somewhere in the text of each post.

This is what happens when I give a woman the keys to the store.

I'm going to get slapped for the above sentence later.

Anyway, I don't know what to say.  I could revert the board back to the previous night's backup, but then we'd lose all of Thursday and Friday's posts.

Of course, the mods have the power to unlock any thread in their fora.  So maybe they could unlock anything that's been active in the past few days.

Another option, which I shudder to think about, is that I could unlock ALL topics and free up any past thread for additions.  Of course, mods could always re-lock any topic that surfaces with a new post.

I'll let you all decide and post here.  I'm going away until Sunday morning, but will either leave things alone or open everything up then.

Although just a plebeian peon here, I think letting the mods unlock the threads they think need unlocked is a better plan than opening every cell of the madhouse and having to relock them.

The Mods should have a meeting with powerpoint presentations and proposals, and then have a power lunch and a vote.

See, ladies?  Three years of marriage and they still think they have to get you drunk.

I thought you meant he was hoping to get one of those other cute-young-thing mods drunk.  Shocking suggestion, of course.
