I'll be honest and say I quite enjoyed the chaos of who's gonna make the daily thread.

It has been good - plus seeing the various thread names people come up with. Although I suspect it will become less enjoyable over time and more of a hassle.

There will still be at least a couple more days before it is operational, and a high chance of glitches for a while require a manual backup thread to be made.

I tried and failed to make a daily thread. I was going to put "Please leave a message and someone will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you. Bye".

Also "This is your Captain speaking. Please fasten your seatbelts. You are in for a turbulent flight". I guess nobody will be able to read those now.

Well, there should be at least a couple more manual days. The new bot recruit needs training, and I expect there will be a few missteps early on.

Would make everyone's day imo. There should be a couple more manual days, so it's time to shine if you so wish.

Nah I'll leave it to the professionals.

The inconsistent formatting of the DT names made my eye twitch, but that's a me problem.
