This forum has been much different lately.

You forgot about the medical masks:

These masks protected them from the "miasma" that was thought to cause the disease. They would stuff the beak with posies

Very creepy looking!

Ah yes, the plague doctor masks! I knew I was forgetting something! The "beak" of the masks were filled with theriac, which was essentially a combination of herbs and ingredients, including myrrh, honey, cinnamon, lavender, opium, and more unusual things like dried scorpions and flesh from reptiles!

Masks? What were they ever thinking?

Completely joking but I find it very funny that a thread complaining about threads devolving into chat threads has become a chat thread itself. Job well done folks!

Yeah, but it's an interesting chat thread!

I think they want to strike a balance between a chicken Wikipedia and a general chat board. But lately, the chat board seems to be winning.

Actually what the OP said was:

There’s all these people making trouble, clogging up informational threads, or trying to answer things they don’t understand.

Was the previous information not informative? Theres a difference between intellectual conversation and nonsense

hence my "totally joking" disclaimer, also and correct me if I'm wrong but my statement wasn't about the OP but another post i saw in here somewhere saying something similar. Please take everything I say with a grain of salt, totally harmless jokes

I agree, I must admit, there are some threads where I have answered a question for someone, then did not follow up when they got hijacked by someone other than the OP and became more like a chat thread. Must not be a very good impression, especially for new members.

heres the one I was talking about, i mean no offense to the op

Oh no I understand completely. I just dont want people to misunderstand or misread the OP's point. Jokes are appreciated but in the correct context. Im a joker as well but lately you kinda have to feel the room more than usual..
