Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

Just one more idea: if we're still around next year and still feel like partying excessively, I think we should make things a bit more manageable by making a new entry for every day. What do you think?

Sounds like a good plan! Hopefully it will mean the post doesn't vanish.

Or if it does, it will be a lot easier to reconstruct. Because let's face it, some of us spent the last 3 days reposting lost threads, and that's a luxury I don't intend to repeat.

Imagine how many more comments there would have been if time hadn't been taken up with reconstructing threads!

I think we'd surely have hit the 2000-coment-marker. What a crying shame!

It is. Still, there's always next year! An entry for each party day, then add up the comments at the end of the party - who knows what could be achieved?

That is the cunning plan, yes. ;)

I think that sounds like a good plan. If nothing else it will be interesting to try something new. My great-grandfather was apparently fond of saying 'a change is as good as a holiday!' (I never met the man.)

I think that might be a good safety check! It will also mean it keeps being bumped up the friendslist so it's easy to find, and people who missed the first post, for whatever reason, are more likely to see it.
