Good catch. That's good news if true, not becasue Rival barrels would be useful (IMO they wouldn't for most people), but because it means that Hasbro has plans to keep the Rival line around. Hasbro has cycled out ammo formats before, and people would miss Rival.

OK, wow. Hasbro's aesthetic design team really knocked this one out of the park. This is far more than you'd expect for what's functionally a pretty simple springer.

maybe I’ll do some mega for red.

Thanks, and that's a good idea. I'll remember it for next year.

I didn't have as much mega then as I do now, but I did have a good number of Titans - which were too heavy for the tree to support.

It's auto-posted videos by Linus that are being downvoted, and the "by Linus" seems the more relevant factor than "auto-posted." I'll admit that I'm a little bit out of the loop, I am aware that there's several major controversies surrounding Linus right now. Videos critical of Linus are being upvoted, sometimes dramatically.

This situation has the smell of a bog-standard internet controversy. Linus' reputation might or might not recover when people forget about the whole thing. His media group might or might not end up distancing itself from him before that happens.

If there's any action that I'd recommend taking in response to all of this, it'd be re-evaluate whether you want to say "they're awesome" in the sidebar. Right now you might be unintentionally giving the impression that you (and by extension the moderators and by extension the community) are on Linus' side. I assume that you'd rather support a neutral discussion space (but I could be wrong).
