Does anyone really give a shit if Woolworths drops Australia Day products? I always feel a bit cringy walking past these sale displays anyway.

We will be there by hook or by crook.

[MOD] Do not discuss leaks. [/MOD]

Embedded videos are not permitted.

[MOD] If you have seen such posts please use the report function to identify them. [/MOD]

In short, no. The site stays in performance mode while the show is on, due to the incredibly high traffic volume. Once the show has finished for the season things get back to normal fairly quickly.

[MOD] As with another thread, this thread was in danger of being derailed by personal attacks. Please endeavour to keep the debate civil. [/MOD]

Admin's decision will not be revisited on this issue.

The previous thread was deleted by Admin due to open discussion of leaked material. As it stands, I understand it will not be reinstated for that reason.

Investigating it now. It may take a while due to board traffic and other issues atm. :)

Hi Wolfmaid. Where is the (heh) missing link? By that I mean in which post should it be?

[MOD] Folks, If you must post stuff about shows that are currently airing or are about to air at different times around the world, please have the respect to use spoiler tags. Thank you. [/MOD]

Just report one of the duplicate threads and include in the report a link to the other. One of us will get around to merging them. :)

We are all getting it as far as I can tell from the Bad Pop Ups thread. It's an expansion of the link buttons for the various social media feeds. Dunno what's going wrong but I'm sure it will be addressed.

Sorry for the late reply. This actually happens more than you might think. You don't need to alert us to it as it usually apparent, but sending a mod a PM would be the way to alert us to it if you wanted to. :)

In the last two hours we have vetted over 60 new threads. Many have not been approved and many required edits to the titles to remove spoilerish content (from the title) or to add spoiler tags. The reason for the large number of unapproved threads is duplicate topics. In future, due to the time taken in doing this, future threads with thread titles that contravene the rules will not be edited and the thread will not be approved. Please remember that individual posters will not be notified if the thread has not been approved, so please don't post threads asking for an explanation. Please remember to comply with the forum rules so that we can all enjoy the board at it's optimum performance.

Carry on.

A reminder about this component of the spoiler policy: Thread subtitles have recently been becoming more and more spoilerish. Please bear this in mind when posting a new thread. Thanks.

The place to discuss performances by GoT actors in other roles. Carry on as before. :)

:rolleyes: Huh. In my actual post it's the smiling rolleyes but in the 'full editor' version it's the old one. :unsure:

One little note. If you come to a convention and want to hang out with the BwB, speak up. There will probably be a thread here to let you know if there will be a BwB presence at any given con. Post in the thread and let others know to be on the lookout. At WorldCon, there will probably be a meet and greet early in the Con to let con noobs know who we are. At smaller cons, this might not be the case. Once at the con, if you miss the meet and greet or there isn't one, look for folks in GoT or ASoIaF garb (like T-Shirts that say "Winter is Coming") or ask around. If GRRM is at the con, turn up at a reading or panel and there will probably be BwBers there. That is how laoise and I first hooked up with the BwB at a con. If GRRM is not there, many panels will still have GoT or ASoIaF as a topic. We are generally approachable people and are happy to see new fans and faces.

Welcome Ivy and thenedstark. Have fun and enjoy the place :)

With the return of the show, it is timely to restate the forum rules on this point. Please remember that these rules apply to the ADwD section as well. The following is taken from Ran's thread in the GoT section: Further, threads that are duplicates of topics that are already being discussed will not be approved. Approvals are not instantaneous. Especially at times shortly after a show airs. The Board is inundated with traffic at those times and many new threads are posted. If a new thread does not appear after a couple of days you may safely assume that the thread has not been approved for one of those reasons. You will not get a notification that your thread has not been approved. It is impractical, time consuming and it should be obvious why a thread has not been approved. Thanks.

Welcome, Loras Stan and Rastaban. Enjoy the place :)
