Oh cool!  Very nice. :)
Sort of conversation stopping though.

If we're going to be off-topic I might as well ask an Arcen related off-topic question: I had a feature suggestion for a future TLF expansion (Rogue planets!), is it better to suggest it on the TLF forum or to Mantis it?

Definitely mantis -- stuff gets remembered on there, whereas stuff in the forums is never seen again unless the thread stays active, heh.

Of course, it also wouldn't hurt to do both. You might see more feedback on your idea from other players if you stick at least a note on the forum with a link to the Mantis and a short description or something like that.

Oh yes, absolutely -- the best discussions are had here.  Linking to said discussions from the mantis post is also fine.  And if interesting ideas come from the discussion, then adding those as comments on the mantis post also never goes wrong.

The most insane thread I've ever seen is this one, I think: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?9027-Developer-Diary

17,428 replies over the course of 10 months at this point.  On all manner of topics, often multiple conversations overlapping at once (as with this thread, just magnified a ton).

It's like for some reason an entire subforum has been condensed into one thread.
I'd say the most ridiculous thread I've seen would be this one, which not only occasionally changes thread title entierly (and the OP with it, sometimes), but has accumulated twice as many posts over 6 years as any other thread in the entire forum at 155,954 posts, or 3124 pages at 50/page and an significantly higher amount I'm not going to check at the forum default. Its essentially a subforum of the general forum contained in a single thread.

I... don't even know what that thread is about on the first post.  Wow, that's quite a thread indeed, though.

They do like their mega-threads on that forum, though, that's for sure.  There's one for AI War that is presently 44 pages long: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=41107.0

And from what I've seen it look pretty darn huging epic.

Epic, no, Legendary!  Epics are written about the legendary and mythical.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

Ah yeah, I completely forgot about that.  I should have been waaay more civil than I was, honestly.  I was still learning how to have a thicker skin.  I'm still learning.  I cringe a bit seeing how aggressive I came across there.

The AI War thread (though its not special in this regard, most threads in Other Games can/will be necro'd out of nowhere if someone has a decent reason for it) gets brought back up occasionally, usually when someone just got it from a sale or something.

As for the happy thread, well, the pictures are related to the title and make as much sense as looking at any other post out of context from there. The thread sometimes gets derailed just by determing what the newest title even means :)

Such is life, I guess?  We live and learn as we go.  I did get a good chuckle from your post though.

The short version: Anthropomorphized Japanese WWII battleships.

The long version is that it's  a Japanese browser game sponsored by Japan's conservative party to build interest in Japan's military history in the otaku subculture by trojaning it in the form of sexualized antopomorphic incarnations of WWII battleships. Somehow it's wildly popular.

The internet is weird.  :-[
