(NOTE: Keep it civil, try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory.)

One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

[up] I'm assuming that's referring to the latest shitshow going on in the Dicussion of Moderation thread. I haven't checked on it in a couple days for my sake despite being a lurker.

Thought of posting in the discussion thread a few times, but I just can't make a post that sounds right yet still communicates all the points I want to make.

The issues really need to be addressed there.

Wait, what's going on in the Discussions about moderation thread? I last opened it a week ago to congratulate Twiddler on his promotion to mod, and now it has 50 new pages, which is about 1000+ new posts. What's happening?

And look at that, after I brought up those two threads, the Subscribed thread just got another post. Probably a big coincidence lol

I'd think it's logically impossible to unsub more than to sub, except in a limited interval.

This is the TV Tropes meta thread, not the YouTube meta thread. Unless the admins added a subscription feature when I wasn't looking.
