Suggestions About Re-Organisation: Move & Merge Requests

[EnolaGaia]

Can we merge my people who vanish thread with Scarg's people who disappear? Seems silly having two. If Scarg is ok with that?

OK ... Done ... They've been merged to form:

People Who Just ... Disappear (Go Missing)
https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/people-who-just-disappear-go-missing.68706/

... within General Forteana.

I seem to have started two threads on Stories You've Heard At Work.

(There was also a previous one many years ago which was lost in a Chat Chop.)

There's a lot of petrol related posts in the natural gas thread, perhaps these could be moved across to the appropriate thread.

Done, along with collating multiple other posts addressing the petrol / natural gas crunch(es). The events are now addressed in:

Mods, tea comes up in various forms. Could we please just have a Tea thread?

I was looking for that earlier but drew a blank!

There are other threads focused on tea matters. Consolidation into a single thread (minus some tangential ones ... ) depends on coalescence of a consensus.

 

[EnolaGaia]

A large assortment of tea-related posts and threads have been consolidated into a single compendium thread in Fortean Food & Drink:

The Tea Thread (Teas; Tips; Preferences: Etc.)
https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/the-tea-thread-teas-tips-preferences-etc.9054/

A 'tea' tag has been created. This 3-letter tag is not yet working to identify and return hits if you search on 'tea'. This should resolve itself with the next database update / refresh.

The new (and excellent) BBC Uncanny podcast is currently being discussed across 3 threads at least:
Uncanny
BBC Uncanny Podcast [SPOILERS]
Fortean podcasts

Can't help but feel they would all be better off in the same place.

Many thanks to whoever constituted the Gibbets and Gibbeting thread (plus plaudits for the pleasing appellation). I think this post from "Creepy Small Villages" would benefit from a transplant, as it adds to the Halifax gibbet lore:

There's a pub in Pellon Lane in Halifax called The Running Man, the story is that if you could get your head out of the way of the blade when the pin was pulled and run over the town boundary situated at Hebble brook you were then free.
