Kevan clause

My first thought is something along the lines of how this policy may need to be automatically reversed if Kevan makes an update to the game. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 11:27, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Close it, with the caveat that if Kevan ever does decide to update the game, it can be reopened. PB&J 11:28, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
Yes, I'd endorse this. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 23:59, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
I too, agree. -- Cheese 07:33, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Keep DS open?

I feel like it'd be weird if we didn't have a place where people could still just discuss suggestion ideas. Perfect place for DS? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 12:08, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
