Corrected.

I've removed the posts pointing out the error as now redundant.

Edit: @gordonrutter

Sorry, I think we were tripping over each other there.

Could this post be moved to the Trump Assassination Conspiracy Thread? It's actually responded to in a post there.

There's a developing thread of art and looking at it in the Stone Girl Thread. It's interesting and relevant - but not to the Stone Girl thread

Could

Inner Space: J G Ballard in the Seventies A Symposium https://forums.forteana.org/index.p...g-ballard-in-the-seventies-a-symposium.60966/

be moved to Fortean culture? The Thread has moved beyond the original event. Perhaps rename the Thread to J.G. Ballard, Life and Works.

There appear to be two different Weird War Tales threads: exactly same name - in fact created by same poster.

Weird War Tales - started August 2018.

Weird War Tales - started February 2024.

Perhaps a merge would be appropriate.

would it be worth renaming the Dolls thread to include poppets and mommets?

The posts from here onwards https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/mass-stabbings-multiple-stabbings.56293/post-2363701 on the Mass Stabbings / Multiple Stabbings Thread have strayed into the conspiracy, online disinformation area. Perhaps some of them could be moved to https://forums.forteana.org/index.p...lueprints-shaping-post-terror-planning.71363/ and that thread renamed.

 

[ramonmercado]

Perhaps this Thread could be merged With Kooky Cathay, there's already a post mentioning the murals there.

That is not the primary 'Dolls Thread'.

Despite having been posted in IHTM, the initial post begins with a declaration that 'It didn't happen to them', so I've merged the whole thread with the main one and added your proposed terms to the tags.

I think I'm going to establish a standard format for all those Fortean Nation threads:

• Clippings From China & Chinese Forteana
• Clippings From Canada & Canadian Forteana
• Clippings From Iceland & Icelandic Forteana etc.

The attempt to come up with A to Z synonyms for 'strange' was stupid and doomed from the start!

I think that is much more succinct.

Developing discussion about the Betty and Barny Hill encounter on the Wolloton Gnomes thread should be moved onto the Betty and Barny Hill thread, approximately posts 294-303.

Delay? I only posted a couple of hours ago - pretty sharp turnaround I'd say. Thanks.

My mistake.

I've passed midnight and the board hasn't, so the timestamp reads 'yesterday'.

This is now done (team effort!)

If anybody starting a new Fortean Nations thread could emulate the format, we'd be grateful.

I posted about a neolithic resin artefact in the Neolithic finds thread.

https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/neolithic-finds.41938/page-7#post-2368603

@Fabio Picasso has also posted - in more depth - on the Prehistoric human dispersal thread.

https://forums.forteana.org/index.p...-out-of-africa-hypothesis.56368/#post-2368578

Two aspects of the same subject but maybe better combined under Human dispersal?

This is where we miss the ability to have See also references on a forum; says a pedantic old Librarian!

Completely agree with you. From the perspective of a librarian, I could never be because in my country that profession is not valued.

On the other hand, the topic of the use of resins since prehistoric times is very interesting from its use as medicine, tools and even as jewelry.

Not valued much over here to be honest. The prehistoric uses of resins was new to me and I agree a fascinating subject.
