That's how it was phrased to me, elsewhere.
The phrasing in the Sticky is
"NO “OFFICIAL”, “DISCUSSION”, OR “THREAD” IN THREAD TITLES"
Which I'm not sure is quite the same thing, but would explain why Loki ammended our title. It steers us clear.
Still, several years of this thread are lost, which is something I personally am a bit miffed about.
And it still won't allow me to upload an Avatar, damnit.
They're really knucling down on self-promotion too. So I doubt I'll be able to use the Blog in my signature any longer, either.
