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 dunno, we're up to within 50 of that.
Never underestimate the power of hair.
Maybe 9900?
Sounds all right. I think the speed of the thread is also an issue. It's not how many posts are left, but how long till it will turnover. If there's a TV show or watch-and-post happening, then it makes sense to start a little early because the thread's going to run out faster than normal. But here, I don't think it'll turn over till Monday. Maybe Sunday, depending on the discussion.
There are two episodes of Lost re-airing Saturday night. You think we can't eat up 160 posts in the next 2 days over that?
Well, point. Small. It
is
a repeat, after all. Though if someone brings up
Lost,
yeah, trouble. But weekend posting is
way
lower than weekday posting. If the
Lost
discussion takes off, then that might be the signal to start throwing out names. But as has been observed before, starting too early only leads to trouble.
You know, you could just burn through the posts having this conversation IN Natter. Since that's where it maybe belongs anyway.
IJS.

We could propose and entire thread where we just name threads all the time.

I think you're joking, but if you proposed, I'd second.
Or even a better just a thread where we propose random names in general and try to make witty statements.

There is a Worst Possible Thread Names thread over at TT. Back when we were still there, some of them were directed towards us. In fact, some of them were proposed by us...

) and won't be able to post the results for a few hours. They will go up tonight though.
Those thread titles still kill me.
