I'd rather keep the naming in here. Bureau isn't normally all that active otherwise.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll just reiterate my earlier statement that thread-naming was the original purpose of Bureaucracy.

I'm with Jon and Jessica (and probably other people whose name starts with a "J"). Administrating the threads is what Bureaucracy was created for, as far as I remember, and naming them is part of that administrating.
Plus, it seems to me that it will be counter-productive to have too many "how to run stuff" threads, with everybody wondering if a post is appropriate in this administrative thread or that other one (it already happens with BBaBB and here, not enough that it's a problem, IMHO, but I just thought I'd point it out).

What is even happening?
I think the naming fits here. People know where to look for it. The stompies know to check here, where they might not ever see a thread to which they're not subscribed.
I still like aurelia's suggestion for the Lost thread: Lost: Survive This!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't care if naming happens in here or in thread, but what we don't need is yet another admin thread.

Lost 1: OMG! WTF?

Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
I like this.
Hundred-post threadnaming discussions drive me batty, in spite of the fact I just contributed to one, but I don't see a better place for them than here.

Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
Has my vote.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The reason I left of the polar bear in proposing Lost 1: OMG! WTF? was to keep a spoiler out of the title for those Buffistas who are not in the US.
I proposed a polar bear one, but thought at the time that it was more context free. OMGWTF? POLAR BEAR! gives it a certain legitimacy.
I may have been in err proposing the my own original polar bear variation.
I dunno.
ETA: I didn't propose a Polar Bear one.
Lost 1: He Shot a What?
Is what I put.

I say change it now before someone suggests a better one.
