A now-banned FReeper used to do this every year, these were always fun.
> FR threads will be streamlined into one big Chat forum. Who needs Bleaking News?
We really need to be able to post a topic by entering the URL, with the excerpting limit clearly shown, but manual editing available (to avoid auto-excerpting silliness like “RELATED: a story that isn’t actually related” and the like). The FR software would be able to screen out A) topic duplicates and B) impermissible sources.
Generally there are META tags that have keywords that could be read in, and the TOPICS and KEYWORDS here could be replaced with a single “TAGS”. Still have the option for additional TAGS later for the pingmeisters around here (hi all!).
The existing subforum structure is goofy — TOPICS are from a limited list and never the twain shall meet (Astronomy for example exists in Chat and Bloggers, but separately); merging the legacy TOPICS and KEYWORDS into the TAGS systems would make things a breeze.
IOW, I agree, get rid of the public subforum divisions (there’s at least one subforum for the mods only, I’m guessing).
Currently the addition of a TOPIC or a KEYWORD saves the topics by number, but chronologically to the time it was added to the list, not chronologically to the time the topic was posted. That actually works out just fine IMHO.
All look pretty solid to me. :^)
I guess I’d better unlock my girlfriend then...

> Beginning of the end of humor for SNL.
That’s the prediction every year, isn’t it?
:^)
SNL has never had more than a couple of laughs in any episode during its entire 50 year run. And in college, I watched it at least once (cough cough) after burnin’ one...
2028? Glad you got out ahead of that one. :^)
I think we’re living the future right now... all these computer equipment is lousy with plastic, as are the CD cases, the laminate on the parson’s table, and my cordless phone (still have a landline here). :^)
I'm going for the trifecta of predictions and add the equally evil George Soros to that list.
Weather forecasters will come up with at least three new “scary” terms for a storm.
I was arguing with my bro about this last year, he is a total Lions fan - even stuck with them when they went 0-16. I’ve been a Wolverine fan since the 60’s as a child in rural Iowa when the only station that came in was black and white and full of static, it was some football team in some state far away. Little did I know that one day I’d spend most of my life close to the same place, The Big House.
The Wolverines won the National Championship last year followed by the Lions this year winning the Super Bowl, now that would be historic.
Michael Moore will be diagnosed with an incurable flesh eating virus. Doctors give him 80 years to live.

I predict that:
The annoying Grammar Police will be banned forever!
Humblegunner will return under an assumed name.
Video and sound will be added.
A word counter will be added.
A list of verboten sources will be added.
A link to the forum will be added from the initial page of a Posted article.........................
Fires and earthquakes in California.
Drought from Arizona to West Texas.
Fireworks accidents on the 4th of July.
Another ‘new’ Star Wars movie.
Democrats will accuse Trump of really bad things.
The GOP will blunder through the year.
There will be hailstorms in the Plains States.
Prince William, Princess Kate and the kids will quit the Royal business and move to Saskatchewan.
Taylor Swift will write a song about writing a song...................
No!!!
The big question for me is whether the Deep State can succeed in sabotaging Trump’s second term from the inside like they did his first.
I can give Trump a pass for his poor first term personnel choices. He trusted the advice of dishonest people that did not have his best interests in mind.
There is no excuse for the second term.
I like your predictions. I hope the thumbs-up comes to pass.
winter will be cold
summer will be hot
