'Life of the Party'
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.

Thread naming is getting so contentious we need to be boring and just number them already. Sheesh. Some people got no humor. Some other people got no imagination. And some other other people got no patience.
Me? I'm a curmudgeon. I got none o' the above.

Agreed. Is this a proposal, Beverly, cause then I'm seconding? (hee hee)
I'm good with the current title as is.
I'd third it. For Natter, that is.
Aww, fuck, I don't want to stop naming threads. That's a big part of our culture here whether Kat likes it or not.
Thread naming isn't as fun for me as it used to be. It seems people take it more seriously than before, whether it be to offend or be offended or just get het up that thread titles are wrong.
It's nice when it's a fun and unifying experience.

Yeah, that's what I'd like to get back to. But if we can't agree on something as innocuous as thread titles, then there's something wrong with us. And I'm not ready to concede that we're too fucked up to treat this process with the lightness and play it deserves.
Be it resolved, thread naming is play, but it's not a competition. Bullshit consensus rules. Keep it light, no sour faces, no backbiting.
I think part of it is just the fact that we've done this 137 times just since the Phoenix opened. Maybe we should make the new people name the threads.
I'm new(ish)!
I will love them and hold them and call them all George.

My diagnosis isn't quite as dire.
I used to think that the title I liked best should win every time, but it's much more fun not caring.
*I* propose the stompy on hand picks whatever of the suggestions they like the best, or something out of their own head.
Because if the wrong thread title (assuming the stompies don't go insane with this heady new power) breaks people -- then there's a problem.
All your thread titles are belong to me.
