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.

There are a number of obviously misspelled user names on the list, as well as examples of multiple variations of the same name being registered again and again.
It sounds like some people register variations on their name so that no one else can login with anything too close (e.g., if I registered lyrajane and Lira Jayne). Is that what you're describing? Or is it more like people who are indecisive and register Lira Jayne, then decide that spelling would be annoying and register something else? Or a little of both?
Sorry for the 20 questions ... this stuff just faascinates me.
I changed the code to display thread headers on every page.
Verra nice!
My vote is for "What happens in Natter 35 stays in Natter 35". And I also like the thread headers on each page--very handy.
Is that what you're describing?
That could be some of it. It could also be people hitting the submit button before they notice a typo in their username.
Would it be worth deleting some of those half-registrations just to clean out the database? (Say, if someone registers but doesn't complete the validation process for three months, we assume they're not coming back for that account.)
Now that the thread header appears on every page, the Music thread gets pushed down several inches by its eight-line rhyme. Could it be reformatted or shortened? Unless I'm the only person this bugs.
Nah, I was thinking the same thing, and I'm the one who put it there in the first place. Lemmee see what I can do.
(Although I will say that two inches is no big deal when you've got your preferences set to deliver fifty posts at a time.)
this bullshit isn't going to consense itself
Oh, if not for the profanity this would make such a good Bureaucracy title...
I too like "What happens in Natter 35 stays in Natter 35."
How about this "BS isn't going to consense itself"? No profanity on the main page, but still...
Something very weird is happening with the last 2 posts in Bitches -- #6344 and #6345. It's like they merged.
I'm against this bullshit isn't going to consense itself in any form because it'll ping filters at my job. And because I find it somewhat offensive.
What happens in Natter 35 stays in Natter 35."
I like this one cause funny in my head.
