Just to be that little voice that no one likes... but maybe they had a good reason to move it to R&P. I trust DrStrangelove, and the rest of the community, I imagine that they will probably give us a good reason on Monday when they're back in the office. But they've gone above and beyond trying to watch all the GG threads that have popped up, including the huge thread that has been going on, and maybe we should give them the benefit of a doubt before we demand they give us a reason.
It's been 2 months, if they were going to do something nefarious, or just something mean or lazy, they would have done it sooner than now. So lets just wait and see.
I think what gets me about all of this is that they decided to do all of this right before the weekend hit and they went on break, with little explanation or warning that this was going to happen even to the mods. As conspiracy-theory as it sounds, it kinda seems like they deliberately did this just to avoid all the questions this would and has raised until several days after the fact. Even basic info like what is and isn't allowed in Off Topic now is a mystery to everyone - mods included - until the staff all comes back on Monday, which just leaves the entire site very confused about it all until then.
Captcha: "whoa there"
I can almost see the conversation:
Person 1: "Look, it's almost time to leave and it's Friday
just make a decision
Person 2: "FINE! Fine... just... I don't know, stick it... R&P?"
Person 3: "You think they're gonna ask why?"
Person 1: "Well... we can answer that on Monday, right?"
Person 3: "I guess..."
Person 2: "Exactly! Well, lets do that, because I have a date with my wife."
Person 1: "And it will make everyone happy, so no one will complain. A couple of questions maybe, but they can't complain that we actually listened, right?!"
Fade to black...
