Thank you. On another note, and as a thread inspired by this one on AH.com, 'Which Post-1500 Figures Will Be Remembered Millennia Into The Future?'. My first assumption is that it'd belong in 'Future History', but should someone make a case for why more recent individuals deserve mention there, 'Politics and Current Affairs' is my next guess. Think if current individuals are involved than it belong in Politics and Current Affairs. Thank you again. Now, how about a 'What Are Some Good Resources On Classical Antiquity?' thread? I ask because I'm contemplating writing a TL in which the ancient Greeks and Romans play a central part--albeit a capacity that's rather ASB, which will also be a defining theme of the project. |

Understood. How about a 'What Non-ASB TLs Are Still Implausible?' thread? The ASB board would be the place for that i think. I’m not sure I follow, but very well. How about ‘900 A.D. Anglo-Saxons Start Speaking Modern English’? I know that it’s ASB, but am wondering whether it’s too frivolous or fine to stand as its own thread? |

About 900 A.D. Anglo-Saxons Start Speaking Modern English, i think that also belong in the 900 A.D. Anglo-Saxons Start Speaking Modern English board. |

I understand your first point, and I assume your second one, you mean that it goes in the ASB board? Because I don’t recall ever having seen a ‘900 A.D. Anglo-Saxons Start Speaking Modern English’ board around here  . |

I’ll be headed to bed pretty soon, but should be back to post tomorrow. So, differing time zones aside, I bid you a good night. |

Need to know where to put a thread called "TL Ideas that you have, but couldn't write", unless someone else already set it up.

How about a ‘Under What Circumstances Could the Bundeswehr Significantly Enlarge?’ thread? Because of the dark legacy that German militarism left throughout the twentieth century, I imagine that a major military expansion would require some dire changes to the political paradigm in place nowadays.

In the After-1900 board. |
