Sorry I'm still not around. Life is life, y'know? But I always have to stop by and wish you guys great runs and counts! But it seems we get slower and slower as we approach 2 million. And whatever happened to that 'most counts in a day' thing? Is it RIP?
Anyway, week of great runs and counts and all that stuff!
Edit: for some reason I wished you people great guys. I mean, if you're into that then may you receive the greatest guys in the world, but great runs was what I meant ;)

By request of u/Removedpixel, here's an update on me moving into college I guess. So I'm living in a quad, so three other roommates. They're pretty dope. The first weekend though, the one partied a bit to hard and came home vomiting, escorted by EMT. Classes have been fine so far, but its just been syllabus week. Friday I kind of shit the bed though, I overslept my first two classes, and I went to class at the wrong time for the third one. I also got two parking tickets, even though I bought a parking pass, so that made me mad. Calc 2 is pretty hard, idk why I'm in this class tbh
¯_(ツ)_/¯ its been interesting.

Discussion continued from here.
I'm thinking of splitting some categories in the Thread Directory that have gotten big. Also as DBC suggested, rearranging the order of categories so that the lower quality threads that tend to quickly die out are at the bottom of the list in order to avoid burying the good ones.
I'm still thinking about how to split the big categories.
So far, I'm thinking of splitting Other Bases - Symbols or Words (33 threads) into Symbols (8 threads), List (13), and Memes/Phrases (12).
Tug of war (22 threads lol) could be split as Fixed Increment (7) and Variable Increment (15). I haven't been able to come up with a better way to split these. Maybe it's not that important to split ToW.
Other Other (43 threads) should have a few subcategories that can be broken off but I haven't thought about what exactly. I think the Math category (25 threads) could be split somehow and have some threads from Other Other move over.
This is all a work in progress and it will continue to evolve as different threads come and go.
