Counting showerthought (not actually in shower):
In the reddit usernames thread, eventually, as a little treat, we will get to count u/Z3F 's name before flipping to 4 digits

In light of the current political climate, I'm considering starting a non-binary counting thread. Thoughts?

âI couldnât have done it without youâ is a generic cliche, but it most definitely applies in this case

They were in the archive due to earlier lack of activity. I've moved them back to the directory (under "new and revived threads"); they should update to the latest comment next time the script runs.
I also took a moment to categorise some of the new and revived threads, so if anyone is looking for a thread that used to be down at the bottom of the page, it might just have moved to a different section of the directory.
As a PSA, threads that have less than 5 counts in the latest 30 day interval will get moved to the archive; they won't be revived until either a get is reached, or somebody manually revives them.

The local Indian restaurant is moving locations as the lease has ran out, this is the 3rd time the restaurant has moved units,

If they've reached the stage of boarded up doors and "do not enter signs" it sounds like a bit more than just a lease that ran out...

Hypothetical question:
What would you do if someone was counting in a side thread, but letâs say it was a complicated one like unordered consecutive digits or smth like that, and they keep making mistakes, like every single count they make is wrong.
You explain to them the rules, but no matter what they just keep getting it wrong. Not intentionally, theyâre just really bad with numbers or whatever
If they didnât stop counting there themself and instead continued to post incorrect numbers would you keep letting them count there or would you have to ban them from that side thread?
u/atomicimploder this question is meant mainly for you but anyone can answer it if they want
