Announcements

what will happen to the week 1 forum?

In a few days, you will no longer see the week 1 forum on the main ModPo forums page. If we do this right and without glitches, it will be moved entirely and become a subforum under this top-level forum:

discussions of previous chapters

After a few weeks you'll see all the current weeks' forums become subforums there. We want to enable conversations during previous weeks to continue but we don't want to clutter up the main discussion forums page.

We will always keep the previous week's discussion forum on the main page for one week after that week concludes. Then it will move.
