Other than seahorse porn, are there any Fluther topics that have descriptions?

Seahorse porn has it’s own topic, even though it only has one question (but, Tim’s question, so, you know, special/epic). Are there any other topics that have descriptions, or is that just a singular Fluther Easter egg? Also of note: seahorse porn is not a topic that Fluther tries to autocomplete suggest to you when creating question tags.

How you were even able to get “porn” in a question title is a mystery in itself.

@Hypocrisy_Central It might be sent back for editing. But, I assumed since Tim didn’t have his question with the NSFW tag, it was ok.

Wrong – it’s gone already.

Fluther has an explanation, as do school and movies, because they require explaining I guess. ~

Not gone here… maybe the info box is what allows the question to retain porn?

I don’t know, but, this is wild.

There are a few others that have descriptions, but I can’t name them off the top of my head. This was part of the topics editing process we undertook a while back. Any topic that was fairly unknown would have eventually gotten a description. It’s pretty much on hold right now, though.

Wow, I didn’t know any of them had descriptions, no, none that I know of.
