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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It seemed like the re-purposing was more to make the description accurate to how the thread's being used currently

And, as noted upthread, it was already unwieldy for me. Now that there's no chance of it going back to workable, I'm not going to bother to keep subscribed.

All is well that ends in pizza.

About the only thing I can think of will be the new Dr. Who.

Speaking of which, an episode of the new Dr. Who has leaked, and is currently being torrented. Not that anyone I know would do such a thing.

It just might come up sooner than anticipated, is my point.

It just might come up sooner than anticipated, is my point.

But that would definitely be a white-font situation (unaired in the US, etc.).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Our policy has never been to discuss unaired episodes of any show in blackfont, except in Spoilers.

t edit or what Frank said.

Quite.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

This west coaster is perfectly happy to let discussion go blackfont as soon as the show's aired on the east coast.

I figure I watch everything but Lost on tape delay of at least a few hours anyway, so whatever works best for everyone is fine by me.

Our wings are not tired.

Same here Matt. Almost every Friday night I have some conflict that prevents me from tuning into SciFi. I tape and catch up through the weekend as possible. I often read the thread before then to be taunted.

Do you think we are consensing or confusing?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It sounds like most of the objections are "other people might have issues with" things.

If that's not the case, please speak up. Otherwise, I say we call it bullshitted. Can I get a "Word Up"?


JenP - Mar 09, 2005 11:27:25 am PST #3888 of 10001

Actually, I don't think they're even objections, just statements of willingness to accommodate something that pretty much no one thinks needs to be accommodated. So, yeah, I'll second your call.
