I hope to put this time of purposeful "unemployment" to good use on the website and other projects.

In order to bolster our spirits in regards to certain economic issues, we here in the states have a term for this you might find useful: we call it, "funemployment".  Although, actually, it's a bit older than that, but it has recently come in vogue.

Wait I'm in the feedback forum.  Um... okay for real feedback how about news posts auto-create a respective thread on the forums to allow for commenting?

Yes... that's it!

(I'm not being completely serious.  But it wouldn't hurt if it were easy!)

Thanks for everything Fabrice, this site and by extension these forums et cetera have been a kind of bastion of sanity for me during my own bouts with funemployment -- of the less fun variety.

I'm really just posting to say that, as your news post reminded me of my oft-undisplayed gratitude.
