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.

I agree that things like Gmail invites should probably be posted in Press, but it's not one of my bigger concerns.
I was wondering about that when I posted it. I thought it felt more personal than press-worthy. But since I only usually frequent Bitches, I wanted to offer the invites to a wider group of buffistas.
Cashmere and I are sharing a brain. Press has always felt more "official," with a sense of gravitas that doesn't seem to jibe with Gmail invites.
No offense meant, nor were rules or blurbs willfully ignored.
See, I've always thought of Press as the equivalent to the bulletin board at the local laundromat, while Beep Me is the serious thread about the stuff in a poster's personal life.

That's how I've always seen them, too.
Agreeing with DX & Steph.

Then my brain is wired wrong. I see "General Announcements" and it screams "official" to me, especially when contrasted with Beep Me's "Personal Announcements."
Part of the issue is that the blurb only appears on the first page. If one doesn't go all the way back, it's skipped.
Edit: Distinction noted.
Yeah, we decided against putting the blurb at the top of every page (as it was at TT), because if you do it for every page of every thread, it gets annoying. However, it would've been useful for those two threads.
I've got it backwards too, then. Beep Me has always seemed much less official to me.

Heh. I was trying to figure out why Beep Me has always seemed more official to me. It's because it's got "Apocalypse" in the title.

This distinction makes sense to me.
