I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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 always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You might want to change your tag to tell folks who you are for a little while.

Hey. New board.

Done and done. Thanks DX.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If Betsy is around, could you post your proposal in Press and announce that Lightbulbs is open for discussion.

If she isn't, could a Stompy do it?

- per the board procedures.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello, lovely people. Do all the people or just the stompies need to think about putting the (when-it's-revised) Lawspeak/Cheesebutt "Hey, how do we do that Bureaublahblah stuff" page into a link in the website's stylesheet?

Like, in here:

Buffistas Home | FAQ | How-To | Etiquette | Big Scary Rules | About | E-mail Admins

Or, some other name.

1) Who needs to decide whether to do that? (I think Stompies, personally, but they may not feel empowered.)
2) Will that person say yes?? (Say yes, person.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Careful Nutty, you could be invoking a sockpuppet named Person.

So tempted.

Jon B is the one who usually handles adding links to the page templates.

What is even happening?

I am a bad person (but not Nutty and aurelia's person, although I'll gladly be one of their peeps) for wishing Clovis, MARCH, The Universe, and the FLO had been the ones to second Betsy's proposal.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I don't think we should be adding another item to the

Buffistas Home | FAQ | How-To | Etiquette | Big Scary Rules | About | E-mail Admins

thingie at the bottom or the left column. I'd rather have the cheesebutt items be a part of the FAQ or Etiquette pages, or linked to from the FAQ or Eitquette pages. Alternately, we could replace the Etiquette link with a Rules link and have Etiquette be linked to from rules. I have no strong feelings about this except that adding a new item link as Nutty suggests would clutter things up too much IMO.

Could it be a Rules/Etiquette link with rules at the top of the page? Or some variation of that?

Why yes, yes it could.

Any change to the text at the bottom and left would have to be done by ita. It's hardcoded into the board.
