'Shindig'
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.

You can post comments anonymously, but I don't think you can make community entries without a registration.
I think it would probably work as a contingency plan for a day or so. Registration is free, so I agree that it wouldn't be that different from joining Peoplesforum or WX.
I don't think LJ is really a viable contingency. Long comments threads are meddening to navigate, and I think the threadedness would drive us mad. It might work for announcements, but not for regular posting.
Agree with Sue - and the anonymous posting bit could make it even harder to follow.
I think Lance needs more than a cluesticking. I actually think he needs an asskicking. Talk about hard-headed. Good grief.
Natter is closing in on 10,000. I don't really give a hoot about the specific title, but I'm requesting less....salty titles. Profanity in posts is no big deal (given how often I use it), but thread titles are HUGE font, and they're pretty noticeable at, say, work. So if we could keep the thread titles work-friendly, I'd be grateful.
I suppose you'll be wanting the whole day off for Christmas, as well...
Oy, humbug!
I'm with Teppy. Ben reads. Julia is sounding things out, and Chris, the little goober, has learned to rea--basically spontaneously, at age 4.
I unsubbed from B*tches (Spuh-icks buh-it-ka-hees) a while back, for this reason, in case I leave the message center open. To get there, I have to go to the main menu page, uphill, both ways, barefoot, in the snow.
(This is in no way a request to change the name of the Spuh-icks buh-it-ka-hees thread (I'd cry if we did). Just a note that while it's one thing to not subscribe to one thread I read to keep it off the message center page, it starts to get cumbersome and I'll just shut up now, but yeah, what Teppy said.)
In a nod to our roots, may I suggest:
Natter 31: Passing By WX.
Since we only got to Natter XXX there.
