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.

Duuuuude ...
Titlewise, the first thing I thought of was 'Why can't I stay', gunning for the maudlin. I quite like the other too, and given it's emerging role as the Great Consensus Maker, don't want to mess with it for fear of it's eerie power.
I would only hope it could be "are we done" rather than "am I done". Thread titles ought to have plural personal pronouns if they have any at all, IMHO.
I, on the other hand, prefer a direct quote.
"Am I done, now" being a shout-out to Doyle's last line is rather poignant. It kinda stops working, if it is not a quote.
I'm loving the Doyle quote.
I. Miss. Doyle.

But we aren't done. The Buffistas aren't done. The Buffistas won't even be done with Angel once Angel is done.

Just caught up on the user filter discussion in BaBB and wanted to broach the discussion to the board at large.
As an extension of what is already the culture on the board, I guess I'd just want to encourage people to be discreet about using the filter.
In short, don't make a point of announcing "That's it! Fuck you psycho crackpot! You're on my filter" and flouncing off. In short, the first rule of filtering is don't talk about who you're filtering.
I think that's basic politeness and consistent with our culture, and probably the norm on better boards everywhere. But the user filter will affect things here and I just thought I'd raise the notion.
In short, the first rule of filtering is don't talk about who you're filtering.
I agree. It's just plain rude. I'd also suggest that the second rule of filtering is not to complain or whine if you suspect you're being filtered. It only increases the number of folks who will filter you.
I think we need to do more than "encourage". I think it ought to be grounds for a warning.
