Title says it all. I thought that this precious(?) relic of AG should be shown to others. The oldest surviving thread on AG.

Threads and comments are in the same database, so you can turn comments into threads. I forgot how to do it, though. I might ask Knight how to do it when he gets back on CT.

You are right. The original location of that "relic" is here.

I actually knew that it was for the mind bender game before clicking the link.

Anyways, it is funny!

Folks, these aren't threads. They're game comments. As I told Matrix, the reason why comments show up as "threads" is due to the way AG2 is structured.

You can ask AG2's developer about that?

This is what Matrix was talking about.

This too.

I figured that out quickly.

How to change a comment into a forum post?
Does changing a comment into a forum post chang your comment and forum post count? (For example, if you change a comment into a forum post, would it subtract a comment from your total amount, and would it add to your forum post count?)

That's really interesting.
Might I ask, how did you figure out how to do that, just fooling around?
I'm messin' around with this ID numbers, seeing random game comments. It's fun. :3

Oh please, don't imply to me that you're blind. There's only a page of posts in this thread and you skim them all without reading
