    Frankly, due to the meta nature of this thread, I'm quite certain it will be more suited to the Gaming forum instead of off-topic. Meta is always on topic after all. Could a mod move this thread?

    Well, considering lightbulbs (and meta stuff) are something we all use and aren't just limited to their application within the gaming sector, I think it's more appropriate to keep the thread here. I've personally found this thread very useful.

    Although meta is a perfectly acceptable term, this is not a Latin forum. I propose abstractive as a far more fitting word to be used in this context.

    Please use Google if you want to find out more on meta stuff and how forums helps wiff spelling steaks before posting in this forumz.

    If my unfathomable years of experience in the writing industry has taught me anything, it's that "meta" is as good as "abstractive".
