Despite people's best efforts there already duplicate threads, and it's a bit frustrating. Specifically on the fun username easter egg thing, YIKES. What can we do to help this?
I dont know how to embed images. So. Until then. Imagine pantskat or something.
yeaahhhhh thiz iz super fair.. I'm not really sure what to do about the exizting repeat threadz but I def recommend that people about to make a new thread check to see if the topic already exiztz
Honestly, I think the "Please try to avoid duplicate threads" should be moved higher up on the rules.
gonna work on consolidating a few threads and redirecting them to the one that was posted first for their topic, i will do this in the morning.
leaving the easter egg hunts open, however, as some of them contain information that others do not..
if you feel so inclined, you can report a post for being a duplicated thread, this gets our attention on them quicker. no punishment will befall the user as it's often a simple mistake, so don't worry :)
reach out on discord @cytosol for moderation-related help!

AT: i think it should be at the TOP of the homepage

Thread-merging is indeed a precious feature on modern forums (on AVPGalaxy for example, it's used continously to avoid clogging the place with dozens of topics about the same thing) and given the enthusiasm of the first day of the new forums, I'd say it'd be useful here too.
As first candidates for merging, I would propose:
Post about your favourite MSPFAs here:
https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/t/post-about-your-favourite-mspfas-here
General fanventure thread:
https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/t/general-fanventure-thread
These two topics are about the exact same thing. I will report here if I find other redundant ones.
I've also noticed two cosplay threads cropping up seperately in the creative works and homestuck categories, iirc.
