Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, yes, announce in Beep Me or Press, but work out the details in F2F.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Well, yes, announce in Beep Me or Press, but work out the details in F2F.

Yep, that's what I meant. Thanks, DX.

Thanks, I'll post in "Beep Me", and point people to the F2F thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Someone might want to let Tim know about the discussion. I somehow doubt he spends time outside the Minearverse so much anymore.

IJS...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Allyson mentioned in F2F that she'd check with Tim.

So when does the Spoiler thread close?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think that decision should be left up to the Spoiler community.

I thought all the Spoiler threads were on the list of things to be closed when no longer needed.

Our wings are not tired

I'd think the Spoiler community would be the best to decide when they are no longer needed.

I remember when the F2F thread was shut down in mid conversation, that sucked. Leave it up to the folks using the thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The spoiler thread is in a place, I think, like the Atlantic Canadians thread -- even though the formal use has expired, it has a secondary function.

This is a very low-volume function, and it may fade away all on its own. As is, it's having little impact on board capacity.
