I think the Timeline™ should be exempt from inline image rules.
Of course, if it is misused, the mods can edit the post.
Or is this a bad idea?

Discuss.

people who use the timeline are exempt of anything original to say, and should, therefore, be excluded from the board, until a time when they are capable of writing their own response.

I like the timeline but I'd rather see a variety of timelines.

Well, my point is that we could have a really big, all-inclusive timeline, but it's hard to fit much on it with the inline image regulations.

what about the revised timeline? the one that fits? and why not can it in the first place?

bringing out the timeline seems to underscore just who does and who does not have a life outside of the lounge.

I think it's clear that if you post on here then your life outside the lounge is limited.

Just to make a few of you feel better, as the weather gets nicer I will post here less. I have very few winter hobbies so I spend more time on here in the colder months. If I could heat my workshop I would never be on here.

I think speaking about yourself in the 3rd-person is gorickey's trademark.

Hmm... Why now should it be allowed? I usually see that it just brings more fights. How about a petition for a Religion forum?

I didn't actually care about the results. I was bored and wanted a higher post count.
Well all want a Religion forum, too.
