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.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

Good lord! I see 140 new posts in Bureau...wonder what's happened. New natter title! sheesh

Anyway, for the future, can we try not to start thinking up titles until there are just 100 posts left? Starting the damn process too early is what leads to crazy-making, I feel.

FTR, Jesse is the rightest thing in right land.

Ah, the wrong-headedness.

(about this, too)

What is even happening?

I think we had this conversation last time, too. It'd probably be better to bring it up when we try to name Natter 28, prematurely. We seem to forget, in between. Did Natter used to move more quickly?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I jumped to the end to see if there was a title yet.

If we're still voting, I like Natter 27: (untitled)

Ann, that's a ferret.

Did Natter used to move more quickly?

Feels like it. Probably because it's summer, lots of people dark while on vacation.

I like Natter 27: No Consensus.

If we're going for a threes theme, then I like Natter 27: Once, twice, three times a Natter. The Commodores, that's the good stuff.

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

Why does DXM get to pick? Why can't I? I'm working on some ideas myself.

DX, Lilty tried posting someting to the Somervillains list, but couldn't. Is that because of the anti-spam measures? (She just posted in F2F, because she'll come into town on Tuesday).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Jen! Whoot.

Is that an official proposal, Jesse?

A mere suggestion. And I will try to notice if people are (IMO) jumping the gun next time.
