Speaking of attempting to find the original source for things... I've attempted off and on for over a decade to get someone on your site to update the original source for a very unfortunately named old meme, because whoever originally added it apparently didn't grasp the concept of default time zones when visiting message board websites to view their content, and the actual website it came from requires you to sign up for an account to view it (since it's been placed in an Archived forum which requires registration to view) so they may not have wanted to bother going to the trouble.

The meme in question is "My <slang term for a bundle of sticks> Dog" and it's been incorrectly attributed to to the Gotgames.com.au forums. It in fact actually came from the Offtopic.com forums and was originally posted on July 18th, 2011 at 1:27 PM (Mountain time)... Unfortunately, the Gotgames site is down (and who knows how long they've been down?) so I can't provide proof that their site was a few hours behind the original posting of it on OT, but I've submitted attempted corrections several times in the past using the "Suggestions" link on the page, so there should be some kind of history there.

Is there any way of going about getting that corrected to actually be factually accurate? Or should I just give up and let that unfortunately named meme permanently die?

you can still find it in the archives! Just need to do a bit of digging because it’s such an old thread and the new system they have over there is such a pain in the ass to use compared to the old one…

This is more a technical question with your site, but I've literally tried every other way of finding an answer and this is the last try I'll ever do on it as it's really not that important in the overall scheme of things...
