Should've censored what the posts actually said, i just thought it was really weird.

  

It is, it's been going on for a while now :/

I've never had a post of mine get stolen. How does that work?

Let's pretend I'm making a post in the hangman thread that says (for instance) "C is for Circles." At the same time, you are making a post in the derail thread. After you hit submit, instead of closing the reply box and showing you your page with the new post, it'll keep the reply box open and inside it will say "C is for Circles" or possibly "rnC is for Circlesrnrn" (it does that sometimes, not sure why). Your post will still appear on the page, but as for me, it will disappear completely; I'll click "Submit Reply" and it will be like I never typed anything at all.

We're doing this class project in economics where we have to market and sell something with fruits in order to promote healthy eating. My class is doing these really pretty bouquets with roses and strawberries. We have to come up with a name for our stall, and I thought of at least a dozen Beatley names (Strawberry Fields, Fab Fruits...) but nobody likes them.

  

Their loss.

Honestly songwriting is so much fun, I'm lucky I get to study it as a subject this year (my final year of school...)

*me every time I write a song*: 'That wasn't too bad, I really should do this more often'

[six months to a year later, rinse + repeat]

It's taken me a while to get over the terror of writing something utterly shit (or anything short of perfect, which... I don't know what that is either, a Beatles song maybe?). Past that, I also just amn't in the habit of channeling my inspiration into songs, I guess -- they're usually a last resort, when I can't express an idea in any other medium (visually or poetry or prose). I really should though.

I just stole my own post..........

Actually, the order of the other albums can't be relied on either. Just so's you know. rn  rnAll my albums are in order fyirn rnIf anyone works out post stealing I'll give them a Nobel Prize!

That's happened to me too 🙂

It happens so fast that I didn't notice but happy 4000th post @50yearslate for whenever that was (probably earlier today, lol!)

  

Am I at 4000 already? Wow, the time flies... thanks though

Does anyone have any idea how to use the Wayback Machine properly? I tried to use it to check my post count last month but it didn't work :/

Just go in a thread you posted and link it in way back.

  

How do I do that?

Is the term "post-stealing" worthy of the Zigtionary?
