Message board ungainliness
I think maybe I'm going to cap the online size of the message board at this nice round figure of 256. Each time it breaks that figure, the thread that has been updated least recently will archive off into a thread archive, where it will remain for all eternity.
That means your PAFTWJ counts will expire. Heh, heh, heh. Mean and nasty, that's me.
It also means that if we ever have a thread that breaks 256 posts, it's going to archive off really, really fast.

I'd ask Napoleon to defenestrate you now, but I'm not sure that I want to try to work my head around the theological implications.

Ha. Napoleon did swear off actually killing me, but she's pretty pumped about defenestration. You just never know.
And I *do* look at the email addresses.

Must... not... defenestrate the Meta-Cartoonist... but defenestration is fun! But promised I wouldn't... but window! Boom! But... but...
*head explodes*
Man, it's fun having to make up two day's worth of missed posts in a single afternoon.

NOOOO!!!! I'm gonna have to start posting like crazy to maintain my bloated count. In every thread! Yeah, that's it. Or maybe I could just stop obsessing. Hrm. You know, I have yet to figure out exactly what it is that the high priest does, and whether post count is really necessary for the position. Hrm, again.

Wow, that would really mess things up. Empty your forum and reset the post counts all at once. It'd be almost like the Chopping Block disaster.

YOU'RE CONFUSING ME!
I've been disenfranchised by this complicated forum/posting/butterfly archiving mess. I will not stand for this. If I understood the legal system one iota, I'd sue.

You can't be disenfranchised now, man, you're titled.

Oh, Yeah! I guess I'm reenfranchised. Or is it undisenfranchised? Oh, well... I'm back on the team. Such as it is. I'll just go convert some Toonbot-unaware heathens.
