I believe (if I'm not mistaken) this index is for the opposite of what you're asking for -- rather than a place where people can request plots, this will eventually hold an index for people freely giving up their own unwanted plots. It's usually a pretty popular thread, so if you wait around a little, it's sure to crop up!

You are correct. I will link them as the topics are created.

I never knew there were so many adoptable threads! Were these around in previous years or have they sprung up suddenly?

They've always been around. I just started indexing them for easy find-age.

Any way you can provide the links for the Adopt-A-Plots from 05 and up? I think the threads now are going a bit slow :x Plus theres like 40 pages in 05 alone, and that's plenty of material.

I think that there should be an 'adopt a running gag' forum, just to see where it goes.
