>>2691862What is it about indeed. Well, the guy that made the first "Wizard Thread" introduced himself as an old Wizard who has come back after being gone for years. He also went by Old Wizard as his name which is why the threads are named this way.
Technically, the purpose of us being here is just to hold the fort until Old Wizard comes back to take over the posting again. At least that's the whole reason why I originally took over when he became indisposed.
Nowadays the thread has kind of become a purpose onto itself. I make new threads when one is full simply because that's what I've been doing for years now.
I try to maintain continuity by linking back to the last thread at the start and linking forward to the next thread at the end. I suppose the fact that we try to do a different theme every thread is also a hallmark of the Wizard Thread formula. Old Wizard started that when he did his first Summer Edition thread. He's also the one who first started calling them Breads.
Really though it's mainly the lore that connects these threads. They're Wizard Threads by virtue of being called such and so far there's an unbroken (I think) line back to the first one.
