  1. Yes, the emails you would have gotten in the interim are lost to the aether.
  2. For category names, I would probably go with Canticlite, and not have it be a subcategory of Threnodite. I am sure there are going to be all sorts of weirdness of groups going to different places that could get messy quickly. That seems like it's better to have the Threnodite connection listed in article text.
  3. This was intentional initially. Maybe there's enough detail to put in, now, but I'm not convinced. It is perhaps because of my desire to not copy real life topics. It would be a pretty tricky article to write if we did choose to want it. I feel like at least some of the differences that are listed in this topic are not special to humans, and so are maybe more appropriate on Investiture / Realmatic Theory pages. So anyway, this wasn't an oversight, it was intentional as we didn't really want to make one. We could reconsider.
  4. Same. We will work to resolve this. EDIT: The mail server is back up, so hoooopefully this is fixed now?
  5. We do want to do this. Thanks for reminder on this. Not sure when it will be done as Paleo is a busy guy but I do appreciate it.
  6. Oh yeah, no worries, I'm just saying why it was named as such last week
  7. That's not quite what happened, in my estimation. Before the 21st we didn't have a title. After that, we used the title immediately. I should have put a forum post on this; I notified YouTube and Discord but not here. The mod team hated the titles being secret. They weren't even spoilers.
  8. We have the announcement for Secret Project 5, and it's called Isles of the Emberdark, and oh boy... it sure is high cosmere connectivity! There's so much to discuss, so let's dig in. We also discuss the announcement itself, so feel free to skip to 30:52 for discussion of the chapters! This episode we have a very special guest, Steve of the wonderful cosmere YouTube channel, ReadAndFindOut (https://www.youtube.com/c/ReadAndFindOutCosmere), which you should all check out because he does great explainers. It was lovely to have him on! We also have Eric (Chaos), Veronica (Cheyenne Sedai), Ene (Aon Ene), and Ala (Rasarr)!

  9. It was challenging to moderate titles being spoilers, and was ultimately unsustainable as an idea. We didn't even make it to 2023 for Year of Sanderson stuff due to bookstore listings. There is no appetite among the moderation team to enforce title secrecy for over a year once more. It just doesn't work in practice for books. We do not consider titles and basic premise to be a spoiler. Thankfully, Brandon is not keeping this one secret and will be using the name in future communication. I will be honest, even if he wanted to keep it secret again, I don't think we would do this once more.
  10. Forums can have forums and topics, but Spoiler Zone is a category, and can only contain forums.
  11. Like Stormlight 5 we don't want to make a forum so early for one book. The Cosmere Secret Projects board was a one-off due to the amount of books.
  12. Yes, there have been some times of high server load, and this is the effect. We are investigating.
  13. I think the reasoning is that because there's a connection, keep them together. Honestly, I don't think it's worth changing this. Those charts are very tedious to edit.
