Why dont they make the thread TPD again and call the TPD 1 thread the TPD archive, then every thousand posts the TPD can be merged into the archive?
You get the thread name back and the knowledge that you are increasing the first thread post count again.

TPD. Say no more.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostFirstly: threads like that aren't "cool" - they're rubbish, and deserve to be thrown on the rubbish dump. I haven't actually viewed or even noticed the thread, but as you have claimed ownership thereof, I assume it's rubbish
Secondly: would the mods please stop throwing rubbish into Light Relief rather than leaving it in the obvious rubbish dump that is General
Thirdly: if admin wants a place where the mods can throw rubbish from General without it polluting Light Relief, I can suggest something that comes free, gratis, and for nuffink

You really are very deluded.Originally posted by Zippy View PostI hang around in LR. Although we could do with a bit more quality in there.
One-a-day is suffering from a sad lack of posting. I don't say that because I followed it but because it kept some of the wittiest posters on here.
There are some cracking jokes in LR.
LR will rise again. We just need to replace those 'departed' with newer posters having some wit. Oh.

1) Is it funny?Originally posted by ItsQuickerAntiClockwise View PostI know a joke involving something black that slides down Nelsons column and involves Winnie Mandela. Is that appropriate to put in there?
2) Is it less than 20 years old?
3) Is it unlikely to cause Admin any grief?
If (honestly) yes to at least two of the above, give it a try. What's the worst that could happen?

I disagree. If I'm bored of cutting and pasting I sometimes trawl through the jokes thread - there are some classics in there.
