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'd be willing to give it another shot in the arm after the holidays, but I don't know if it's ever going to see a lot of activity.
Same here. I wanted to do a graphic novel next, but was waiting until my end-of-the-year-work-craxiness calmed down a bit. But if folks want to close it, I'm not going to object. Just be a little sad.

This is me. Hell, I recommended The Hound of the Baskervilles and didn't even show up for discussion.
Still, more than willing to try again.
I want to talk about Hound.
edit because there was only one Hound. Or not, depending on how you count.
My first dog was named Baskerville. German Shepherd stray (in Manhattan of all places) who howled all night the first couple of weeks.
Walking my current dog the other night, an old lady muttered "Hound of the Baskervilles" as we passed her.

Not to be argumentative, but then why didn't you (all)?
It seems like the only time interest in the thread gets revived is when the question of keeping the thread open comes up here. Maybe it's time to just chalk this up as something that didn't work, for whatever reason(s).
Goodbye and Good Riddance for 2005 is up.

We had a schedule for reading some of the short stories first, then we wanted to give people time to read it.

The thing is, though, no one showed up.
Like I said, I'd be willing to try it again after the holidays, but I don't have great hopes for it. If the consensus is to close it, I'd be sad that we couldn't muster more enthusiasm for it, but it's not like there's not already a place to talk books in Literary.
From the looks of things, Baskerville was scheduled for September. Which it no longer is.
It can be closed for potential reopening as easily as LotR, but from an outsider's perspective, I'm not sure if the experiment worked.
I was for it, but it didn't work in practice. I think there may be a way to make a Buffista book club work, but this wasn't it.
