'Dirty Girls'
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.

Swedish is linguistically pretty close to English, and most Swedes I've met have a pretty easy time wraping their heads around idomatic English.
A Swede I met told me it's because they show American TV shows there with subtitles, so if you start watching TV before you learn how to read... it's easy.
Hmm. I thought I'd heard they show American programming without subtitles.
Good one.
Oh, well done.
A Whedonesque question...
I thinks it's a little creepy when stuff Tim says here becomes a news item at Whedonesque.
Caroline, Whedonesque's site owner, doesn't like the circular links on the blog anymore.
Are we still in agreement that we don't want links directly to Tim's posts (or any of our posts) on Whedonesque?

Why? Isn't that Whedonesque's purpose?
I don't mind except for server load and bandwidth issues.
Have we been Whedonesqued on the dedicated server?
Why do I get creeped out?
I always feel a little buffered because our threads aren't googleable. If Tim makes an announcement here about a show cancellation/pickup, it's certainly news to his fans. But on the slippery slope, is a conversation about Paglia/closer to the earth/FCM Founding Fathers/whether getting a period makes women grow up faster than boys...is all of that a link at Whedonesque because Tim is participating in the conversation?
There's a difference, in my mind, between a conversation between friends, and what Tim does for a living.
It'd change the way I interact in that thread if I thought a debate about the differences between men and women became fodder for Whedonesque linkage.

But it is. The non-googlability is no protection at all, from anyone. Everyone with a net connection can see it and link to it and all that jazz. Being unsearchable makes it a wee bit harder to stumble on, but we can't mistake that for any sort of privacy.
It's nice that we haven't been linked to directly recently by Whedonesque posters. But all it is is nice.
