(Sidenote-- Serack, I did think of an answer to your Two Mantles Problem with regard to the Time Travel Harry theory, you know besides my Unstuck Harry theory. In The Flash, the Speedforce can only be claimed by one speedster per universe. We see this with Jay Garrick this season on the show, which reminded me of that arcana. The Mantles might work the same way: with Lloyd Slate holding the Mantle, Future Harry will have to do without.)
Also missing is The Starborn Conspiracy, and The Lady and the Knight, which is lost forever. That latter was post about Venus, Adonis, and the Goddess's Champion.
Could you also please unlock my Emporium so I can archive my Thor=Vaderrung and Faith=Free Will Gifting posts somewhere they won't eventually be eaten?

Rut ro.
I did some boo boo's transferring those. The first one I accidentally sent to an area of the boards that I'm not allowed to move it back out of, and the 2nd I accidentally hit "remove" instead of move.
Just in case it's not recoverable, I was able to archive most of the first 2 pages of content via the "back" button on my browser. I already indexed both... but we will have to see what happens to the 2nd once the admin's get back to me.
Griffyn612:
Maybe I'm missing it, but I think a WAG topic where everyone can list a summary of their WAG's would be good. Everyone would only post one reply to the thread, and update it when they come up with new WAG's. No-one would reply or debate the WAG's themselves in the thread; it's only an archive.
Then we can link to our own reply in our signatures so that others could review our thoughts if they like. And the thread could be locked to preserve them. And with one reply per member, it'll force everyone to keep their theirs succinct. If more detail is required, or debate is required, a new thread can be created.

Interesting. I'm not sure about the locking part, but on the other hand, I wish such a topic would have a way of tracking when wags were proffered. Also, it would be encouraged that you add links to any discussions you've generated on your wags...
Elegast's theory index sticky tries to approach this from the opposite direction by collecting significant wags and collating them, but maintenance is a bitch. I've also got my own response in that topic that I try to use in the way you describe here, but the topic isn't dedicated for that and the responses haven't been limited to 1 per person...
Mention it in the general spoilers discussion to see if it could gain traction because participation would be what matters for it to be relevant. Then, if you get positive feedback, start one with a general list of instructions (I.E. one post per person) and formatting suggestions. If it works, I'll transfer it to the DFRC and we'll enforce the 1 post per person thing.
Quantus:
From a backend standpoint, would it be possible (and easy to implement) to have a thread that automatically restricted each member to a single post, in the same way it can restrict each member to a single vote in a poll? That would significantly reduce the maintenance required, as well as auto-enforce the whole "Do Not Debate Here" mandate.
Serack:
If such an option exists, it does not seem to be available to the curator level of moderation. I suspect it doesn't exist, and from what I have seen of the admin's paradigm for forum modification it wouldn't be added.
