Just like last week, today /qa/ did well but not great. First I went through the usual routine of finding a topic and trying to figure out how much it is worth, but there was an issue in the process of posting gems that created a problem for /qa/. This is why /qa/ posts have been a bit inconsistent so far, which is why I decided to try gemming on the whole of /qa/ myself instead of letting /qa/ gem itself, which takes way too long.
The bad news was that we didn’t have many gemmers trolling the /qa/ regulars today, probably because the whole site is more focused on the /soy/ coaltalogue anyway. I was especially sad about not having more /qa/ posts to read, as I like to make it a point to spend as much time as I can reading and appreciating the gems. /qa/ is very repetitive, which is why it feels like /qa/ is lacking a bit on the more humorous topics. I know there are a lot of people in /soy/ who think the same way, so hopefully, with all the people migrating over to /qa/, the humor /soy/ regulars enjoy will find their way here too.

There, in the dark, where the shafts go countless fathoms deep, he slipped and fell. >Another young boy has lost his life ina coalmining accident in one of our provinces, and the particular tragedy of the case has recieved national attention. >How unfortunate. Our nation mourns another young boy lost to the coal fields.
