@roz usually on the games I play you can't see other people's +sheet, so that's not much help.
And I am always shocked at people who don't fill out a full name field or even worse, put in a name that nobody would know because it's not the one they use in their ic real world, and their name is some cute nickname.
Supremely irritating.
I think basics should always be available in game. But wikis are a nice supplement to add more depth if desired.
It's very frustrating to be in a household with teens (it means my bandwidth slows to a crawl) and all I want to know is someone's fucking last name that I forgot, so I can address them properly, and instead of everything being available in +finger or +info I have to wait for everything on a wiki page to load.
Leftover tonkatsu on homemade bread makes a really nice breakfast!
I work for a tribe in which fish is a really big deal. We get LOTS of people that microwave fish. And have smoked fish stinking up the office. And...
sigh
Time to crack open a can of surstromming!
I love to feed people all the things, as anyone who has been to my house can attest! But I would happy share my kitchen or yours with you Gany, and Sunny too! 
I'm in the middle of a very painful flare up of joint and muscle pain, but I am also making homemade cinnamon rolls now that I have a bread machine to knead/make dough (can't afford a stand mixer so I'm used to doing everything by hand except for bucket bread!)
I feel happy and useful!
And I also got a recipe for pho broth for my electric pressure cooker that one of my Vietnamese friends is raving about so I get to try that tomorrow! 
Reading up on all the comic MU stuff makes me glad I never tried them, honestly it is pretty stunning to me that OCs are so disdained! Since I often like the worlds/themes of a genre or place more than I enjoy endless chaining to source material detail (and yes, I understand from reading wikipedia that comic book FCs probably have ten million ways you can go with any given character since they like to rewrite/mix up/alt universe it up) that I would not wish to offend someone by playing a beloved character "wrong" because I didn't know as much about them as a true fangirl should.
I'm not a huge comics fan (though I love reading about them as well as listening to friends talk about them). But I have gone to a few events for comics fans as the driver/interested companion/for interesting peoplewatching/because I really enjoy people, and I have seen people almost literally froth at the mouth over canon and deviations and stuff.
It seems like if you're not a totally ovaries to the wall fan person, but wanted to try out a new mush experience you never had before, that you'd want to pick either a super obscure (but how would you know if it was?!) or OC character!
I also prefer consent based (which can indeed have systems also, as far as negotiating/what you can accomplish, ect). But as others have said you will have people who for various reasons will totally lose their shit at such an idea. To be fair, people will lose their shit just as much (sometimes even the same people who hate consent-based and think it's for losers or whatever) at systems that take away some player autonomy over their PCs actions (the dreaded social skills) and claim that only they should have any say in how their PC reacts to anything.
So honestly I think the vast majority of folks here that I've seen DO actually /prefer/ limited consent, or capped non-consent, take your pick.
Really, I also don't see the problem with a game runner who wishes to advertise on MSB coming by every few months to bump up their thread and say what's currently going on. Games (hopefully) are dynamic. What you advertise at opening hopefully will be a little different over time.
I think a Game Closed addition to the title to be sufficient. Or an indicator that a locked thread (which is obvious on sight) shows that a game is closed.
I see no need for anything to be moved or deleted. Lock threads for games that have closed, with an opportunity for the game runner to say farewell or whatever. There's no need for a "graveyard".
Why clearing/deletion? You could just lock the thread after that time (which would prevent its bumping up) and that would preserve the record.
I don't see a need for culling when you have an easy board administration tool (locking) that solves the "problem" and doesn't involve deleting things for purely aesthetic/personal taste purposes when there's no reason to.
Eh, not Queen or Princess material, but perhaps homecoming court.
Darkover (pre-rediscovery)
I don't know that I would want to play there necessarily.
But holy christ on a cracker, that would bring out the totally batshit (and probably perimenopausal) insane ooc drama and ic hijinks like whoa.
So it would be kind of fun to watch.
TFW you forget you have Skype open (after you've been slowly purging contacts that you have no clue who they are, whether they're mushers or caucus folks or whatever) and find out later you butt dialed someone who then had to listen in on you trying to wrangle the preschooler going potty.
Sorry unknown person. If it was one of you, hopefully you enjoyed the singing of the potty song. 
Two things had me ugly crying in the car yesterday. Sorry, this is really long.
I need to preface this by saying that my eldest kid came out to us as genderqueer 4 years ago, and trans 2 years ago. I think it was his way of softening the perceived blow. Luckily for us we have always had a very diverse group of friends so we were not afraid of /him/...just other people outside of our bubble, and extended family. We decided to proceed with coming out at his directed pace.
Junior high was very difficult. The administration at his school was not super friendly even to gay students, so his decision was to be out as queer, but not transgender. Over those two years I saw my quirky teen turn into someone who rarely smiled, was quiet even amongst close friends, grades plummeting, anxiety skyrocketing. There is surprisingly not a whole lot of support for trans youth that's accessible in our area, but we found bits and pieces and he finally got together a local face to face network of support, friends at all stages, and adults who have been there too.
So this year at his first year of local high school, he decided to be totally out at school and in the community (not yet extended far away and very religious and bigoted family). I have my child back, finally. I can't believe how much lighter and freer in the world he is, though of course there is pushback too.
Anyway--clothes shopping used to be fun for him ages ago but he's had some horrible experiences and comments when he was still semi-closeted in community. He's been hiding in dad's hand me downs and tees when this is our one kid that really loves fashion and always has. He asked his girlfriend to homecoming though and she wanted to wear a semiformal dress, so--suit shopping.
But he...doesn't fit the mold for most menswear to say the least, his dad is 50 and hasn't worn even business casual for like 20 years at this point, and I have the men's fashion sense of a hole in the ground.
So we went to an upscale department store. And I found the youngest most hipster looking staff person there on the sportswear section and asked him to help. He did not look at my son weirdly, or ask if we were in the right section or act overly fawning or condescending. Instead he asked my son if he had a picture of his date's outfit and let's get this done. He put together a great perfect outfit, educated my son about the kinds of brands/styles that would fit and look best for his body, etc. when we were done my son could not stop grinning or looking in the mirror, and that is the first time I'd seen that happen since he was my very little girl putting together outfits from the dress up box and parading in glee.
I almost lost it in the fitting room lounge. And yes, I am writing a handwritten card to that lovely man so I can bring it over to the store later. I just burst into tears after every other line so I'm giving myself the weekend. Jesus Christ menswear is expensive but it was worth every penny and I hope he works on commission!
Second, with less of a story, is seeing the delight on my son's gf's face when she saw his outfit, and they let me take a picture before running off arm in arm to join their waiting group of friends. She's a wonderful kiddo that we've known for years. And when I picked them up after the dance to drop off home, hearing them laugh and tell me excitedly about what went on and how much fun they had--I almost lost it again. For at least a little while longer, my baby is still safe in our little community bubble we've built.
Ally Steinfeld has been on my mind all weekend. There are people out there who would happily murder and mutilate my son because of who he is, to say nothing of the drive to take away his personhood even in our state and federally.
But at least for a little while longer he can live in this bubble of fiercely protective friends, church community (we are UUs), and allies. And my tears yesterday were ones of joy and gratefulness.
Redneck Life.
I love that game. Luckily my board gaming group loves ME enough to suffer playing it quite a few times now.
That's not really what I meant by player response not mattering. If you do not have a staff that is proactively willing to ping players and pay attention when the group of responders is getting smaller and smaller, or who will automatically file any mention of not feeling hooked in or being able to participate as "oh, well, if they were good, proactive players then they wouldn't have a problem. Activity must be falling off because they suck/only want to fuck each other," then that's already an insurmountable problem.
