    Make the Peepeepoopoo Megathread. The body of the post is just the “peepee” and the “poopoo”

    Just write about one of your hyper-fixations. We all have at least one here. Life's too short not too.

      that was the plan, yes, but what exactly do i do? do i just post a thread, call it megathread, and everyone agrees "yep, that's the megathread"?

        Exactly you got it a megathread is basically a write-up with the template under it

            Usually some time adjacent to UTC 0:00? Unwritten but try to aim for that block (0:00 and a couple hours after?) to give the other mega enough spotlight but also to not have people wondering where the mega is.

    Do you mean you don't know what you want the subject of your thread to be or you don't know how to get the proper format?

      I mean I have no idea where the fuck the "post megathread" button is. How physically do I make a megathread?

        So navigate to the megathread that's currently up there, click on the three dots at the bottom right of the post that says "more" and a document will appear. Click the document, which will give you the text only version of the post. Copy the text, including the links and emotes, delete the information from the previous post (except for the links) and then create your post above the links. Add your post in the comm you wish to create it in and title it "something, something" megathread or a clever title of some sort. After you do that a mod will sticky the post then rip your notifications.

        It's similar to what @Commander_Data said, but you should copy the megathread template from here: https://hexbear.net/post/187864

        Once you tag all the comrades in a first comment, an admin will come through shortly thereafter and make your new mega "official", but tagging the "nerd call" is kind of how we kick things off.

        I'm in charge of organizing the mega these days, so just let me know if you have any questions or need help!
