I was looking at that…. maybe he wasn't hacked. Maybe he's gone nuts enough to actually choose to change his picture to that.
This system needs to be improved.
Is the code behind this site open source? If so, it should be rejiggered to automatically generate a new thread after one reaches the technical limit.
The Notables part is the only thing requiring human intervention. Perhaps instead of posting notables from the previous bread at the start of the next one, there should be a separate otherwise locked thread where lists of notables are posted. It would take a lot of pressure off the bakers because they would no longer have to scramble near the end of one to get the next one going. Notables could be picked out any amount of time later.
