I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Privileges (for Hosts) to move messages
So, do we just want to move everything to the attic and close the rest of the forums down?
Option to "remember me" to avoid relogging in each time you visitThis already seems to be gone.

Probably best.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does moving stuff afford us any benefit? Does not moving stuff have a point? Is it usable as a haven? We have PF (but who knows for how long?).
I'll be signed up for the "premium" for at least a year.

We haven't used it as a haven in a year and a half. People seem to prefer PF. OTOH, if PF goes under it may be our only option.

The people I've heard opine the loudest seem to dislike PF. But that's too bullshit even for consensus.
As things have gone, PF has been haven #1, with extended downtime meaning a WX opening -- but it does need the opening.
At least, that's the way I've understood the ad hoc process.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How's PF looking, fundraising wise? Are they likely to go pay anytime soon?

I don't think they'll go pay. They'll either stay optionally free, or disappear. I'm not optimistic, but willing to be surprised.

I was just noticing that this bullet in the etiquette page is incorrect.
Don't post spoilers outside the spoiler threads. We consider spoilers to be anything that has not yet been broadcast. This includes TV Guide-type listings, actors' contracts, etc. --- basically, anything that has not yet been broadcast belongs in a spoiler thread.
Taken literally, all that white font in Natter would have to go. Right now, the only place we enforce the policy is in OMGWTF and Firefly. I think.
So, how do we reword this?

Doesn't most (though not all) of the whitefont in Natter come from stuff that has been broadcast but it's whitefonted out of politeness for those who haven't seen it yet?
