gollark: Ah, yes, sickness, it makes so very much sense.
gollark: In my experience you need ~400 unique views.
gollark: Also try the forums' list of active fansites.

gollark: I suspect that the "remove/change sickness" thread is going to go nowhere, because of all the people (and probably TJ09) thinking "nooooo, I *need* to have to put my eggs in hatcheries slightly later, and they simply *must* be able to be attacked at any time", and then eventually TJ09's going to come out with some magic "viewbombing fix" which only works about half the time.
