I suspect technical feasibility was a factor.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments VI―Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
Things I maybe should have checked before voting:
1) Art/General/ "An Order of the Stick Animated Series?" is answered by question 9, not question 4.
2) The Index was already using the # designation for (most) strip numbers. (There's at least one missing.) Maybe "q9" instead of "#9" to avoid confusion?
And may I thank Jasdoif for all the hard work involved in curating this Index. Especially right now, when I'm imagining going through the whole thing to check if there are other such errors ... and sitting here not doing it. (Feel free to just wait for us to point them out, instead.)
Cheers!I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments VI―Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
So it is...probably a copy/paste error since I picked the Roy's Boots one for the test superscript. Also because the number for webcomics as a medium was also wrongly shown as 4....Maybe the wrong number on Elan's Mother's (intentionally undecided) name was from a different copy/paste error?
Anyway, fixed.
The "q" seems to me like it'd be more confusing, honestly; and trying to use some form of the word "question" is liable to disrupt the flow of reading the text, due to the additional horizontal space it'd take, and that would annoy me....Hopefully being a superscript parenthesis at the end of the link will be explanatory enough.FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments VI―Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
I'm in favor of keeping it, actually. Namely, the actual quote implies that technical feasibility wasn't the issue, the Giant just didn't want them shown in the first place. So we still don't know why he changed his mind.
I'd be in favor of an asterisk that says "Hey, the Giant changed his mind on this, but we're not sure why." Definitely don't remove it, though. Keeping track of how the Giant's views have changed over time is, in my opinion, one of the more interesting aspects of this thread.The Everyman's Guide to Taking Up Arms - A Guide to Fighters

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments VI―Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
I would remove, but if not, some way of marking the quote as obsolete makes sense.

I am also in favor of rewording. That they are considered bonus jokes is still true.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments VI―Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
The point of the index is to facilitate discussion. If someone asks a question, and the Giant has commented on the point, we can show the comment. It's only worth keeping a comment if there is some small chance that a question will be asked in the future.
I think the chances of anyone in the future asking a question "Why aren't the titles shown?" is non-existant. Hence there is no point keeping the quote. Can anyone suggest any good reason for keeping it?
Vote for delete..

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments VI―Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
It was rescinded as a rule but it's still the stated intent of the Index to be a research aid for the purpose of forum discussion.
Over time, we removed (after vote) most of the quotes that became redundant with the comic itself. I see this situation as very similar: The new comic page setup makes the question, and its answer, redundant.DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

As far as I recall, they are included in the printed books. Small, regular text rather than large bold - but they are included.

Okay then...the entry has been updated.
Looks like about an even-ish split on whether to vote on removing it, I think....Well, if the locked-post-previews on Patreon are any indication, we're likely to have another set of questions and answers before too long; I'll worry more about it then.FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!
