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.

With P-C on the "Isn't the point of computers to replace books?" quote as perfection for the opening title of the club. Giles can consult his books later (the next Literary, maybe?)
So, I'm liking "Buffista Biblioscopy: Isn't the point of computers to replace books?"
The "One book in all the world" slug (JenP's version) is great.
I don't really get the Biblioscopy thing. How about something in homage to Giles? Like Ripper's Readers or Ripper's Room.
Book Club: The First Rule of Book Club Is Don't Talk About Book Club
(with apologies to msbelle)
um, that is soooo stolen from my beloved rl bookclub.
(apology accepted)
I like the idea of naming the book club Book Club. Maybe with the initial subtitle "They Said It Couldn't Be Done".
How about if we just start if off with Book Club: [insert quotey thing here]? Once we get in-thread, if we bullhsit consense something else for the uber title, we can ask to have it changed. Just so we can get started.
For the post colon quotey thing, I'd then vote:
Depends on the Book

ITA. And I'll add "Depends on the Book" to the computers replacing books quote as my two votes for thread title.
I like it. Let's just jump in and get it running.
Book Club and then the subtitle about computers replacing books works for me.
