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.

Not a VM watcher (...yet), but I do think a dedicated thread would make a lot of sense. So if Jim's proposing, I'm seconding.

edit: of course, waiting is also fine by me.

I can't recall the process, but yeah, I propose that we have a VM thread. Purely selfishly, I can't keep up with Natter these days, and I want to discuss VM in the kind of depth you only get round here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Seconded (thirded?). I think it's worth discussing in bulbs.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'll second, if we still need one.

What is even happening?

Seconded, just to get the conversation out of hypotheticalville, although I plan to start watching this Fall.

As much as I'd love to get the VM talk out of Boxed Set (selfish-- I don't watch it), didn't we already vote no on a VM thread? How long is the moratorium, six months? (Note: I have no idea how long it's been since we had the Big TV Vote.)

That vote was October last year, I think.

Swouncing

Oh, I actually just started watching "Veronica Mars"! It's shown here on a cables channel that I don't have, and a friend who has it started taping it and convincing me I have to watch so that she has somebody to discuss the show with, because she felt lonely in her love.

Of course, I won't be able to participate in the proposed thread, if it ever ends up existing, because I won't be watching in "real time" with you guys (yup, I'm still too prude to download episodes. Sigh), and I'll avoid any conversation due to spoilers-to-me, so it's not like my opinion on the matter has any meaningful meaning. But I just had to post the meMeME (or is it "meMeME too"?).

[Edit: so that my post has actual content:

That vote was October last year, I think.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

didn't we already vote no on a VM thread?

No. There was a poll to see what shows had enough interest to warrant a formal proposal for a thread. Yeah, it was a bit of a sneaky workaround, but it's been six months anyway so it's a moot point.

Oh, then nevermind.
