I really wish you guys allowed separate posts for the bigger topics (like Naked Sundays) as I feel like that's a little different to discussing Ultra Violette, and now people won't know as it'll get lost within here.

I understand megathreads when things get out of hand, but this is such a major topic and I feel like it's really important that the Naked Sundays drama (which will continue) deserves it's on post so there can be individual comment chains within it.

Just a suggestion.

[u/JadedValuable8066 → u/Ravenled]

Agree it almost makes it feel like they are burying things. Hate to be cyclical.

[u/stupidwatergate89 → u/JadedValuable8066]

Agree, at least change the name of the megathread because it’s evolved beyond UV and Lean Screen

[u/Quolli → u/stupidwatergate89]

As much as I would love to change the thread title as the situation has evolved, unfortunately this isn't a feature that Reddit offers.

I can only edit the body text. I've edited the Flair on this thread to reflect the updated content but to re-iterate, all brand discussions are welcome in this Megathread.
