Which, they will. I'm extremely optimistic. So optimistic I think, that I want to post an Election Night thread in this here forum, and get it stickied. Maybe too optimistic.
I still is too early. I feel it though. Like a DUmmie being high, and pissing itself in jubilation at the magnificent trip. I feel it.
Reservations being accepted for official "live threads" election night in various of the forums, such as Election 2012, Politics, the Lounge, Rants and Raves (a forum not open to lurking primitives)--best not to disturb Latest Breaking News, though--General Discussion, and here in the DUmpster. There's probably going to be peak traffic after 7:00 p.m. central time election night, and it'll be chaotic, but manageable.
It'll probably be our busiest four hours ever, and of course the pace will diminish only after several days.
Each official thread should have a particular, specific focus--such as for the DUmpster, the primitive reaction, or for the Lounge, the light-hearted stuff, or for Rants and Raves, how one
really feels, and so on. Maybe the twitter reactions in the Politics forum? I dunno.
But to get a live thread "stickied," the person posting it has to hang around to keep it moving along. One shouldn't just post a "live" thread and then be absent when the action's going on.
