I like it the way it is, honestly. Maybe it's not exactly who we are now, but I feel like the Jossverse is still a strong enough element to be worth putting on the front page.
I like this one.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

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.

I can't even.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's cheesy to introduce yourself by saying, "Halloo! I'm so smart and funny! Dig my utterly brill witticisms!"
Fuck. Is that where I've been going wrong??

Mr. I don't like change,
I do believe you were on the Pro side for adding more than one thread.
Maybe you don't like this change.

My deal has been stated. I don't identify with this place being about tv shows that are off the air or in syndication. but, more than that I just think it is a wrong description.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that where I've been going wrong??
Yes. Don't use brill. It's affected.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even when I'm using my English accent?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It would be nice if our description described us. But I don't think about it very often.

Our wings are not tired
I think our description should be a map of the universe, and right at the center of the map there's a little arrow that says, "You are here."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maybe you don't like this change.
Maybe it's the proposer. Maybe she ought to try proposing things with an affected British accent like Jesse's always doing.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"We're a bunch of dynamically generated web pages. Read some of them to figure why we're here."
I like this.
I see bon bon's objection to our claims to intelligence and humor. Those may be valued particularly, but they should be self-evident. (I think that's her objection. It's cheesy to introduce yourself by saying, "Halloo! I'm so smart and funny! Dig my utterly brill witticisms!")
Yes, this is part of it. I mean, I don't have a huge stake in it since it's stared me in the face for two years or however long, but I don't want to just throw shit without justifying it. It's like someone saying they are cool. You are or you aren't. It should be self-evident, it just looks overly defensive and insecure up there, and it does nothing to actually distinguish us from any other board.
Whereas, if Jon's suggestion were up there when I first clicked on this site, I'd think, "hey, these people seem funny and smart."
