“What is Festival?”
Festival is what happens on the old Q thread after a new Q thread is created. Can become quite crazy when folks continue to air grudges, post new things that very few people will see (because everyone has moved to the new thread) and where people will wander in the wilderness lost because they don’t realize a new thread has been created.
It’s a term Bagster attached to it based on an old Star Trek episode.
“In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise visit a seemingly peaceful planet whose inhabitants are “of the Body”, are controlled by an unseen ruler, and enjoy a night of violence during “festival”.
