I jumped to the end to see if there was a title yet.
If we're still voting, I like Natter 27: (untitled)
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?
Cordelia ,'Lessons'
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.

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

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.

Up with the sun

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.

What is even happening?
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
A mere suggestion. And I will try to notice if people are (IMO) jumping the gun next time.
What's jumping the gun? dcp mentioned that we had only 400 posts left at 10:30 pm board time last night. The first title suggestion was at 4:46 this morning, which was only about 8½ hours before the old thread closed. The problem wasn't that there was too much time, it's that people proposed too many thread titles (55, to be exact). How are folks supposed to consense when rather than discuss the current options, people just keep throwing out new titles.

Maybe it's kind of a vicious circle, DX. It seems like we throw out a lot of titles when no one title seems to be grabbing more than a few of us. Then, we get silly, and just kind of throw stuff at the wall 'til something sticks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
my favorite is still:
Natter 27: We already did a three cubed thing, didn't we?
Me too. Recurring and incessant references to three cubed are always and ever good.
