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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's what I'm thinking: we aren't a political site. Even though enough people think the same way about a lot of things, that it can often feel like it's "everyone," it isn't. So, like we don't use swears in our thread titles (we don't, right?), I don't think we should use politics.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I agree with Jesse.

Unless we had a politics thread!

runs very far away and hides very very well

What is even happening?

I also agree with Jesse.

I can't hear Daisy, at all. I think she's talking in her sleep--night terrors, even.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Jesse completely rules.

The status is NOT quo.

Well we put lots of things in thread titles that aren't necessarily representative of the way everyone feels, and we do generally have watch-and-posts for elections that tend to skew pretty Democratic...but that said, I do hear where you're coming from. I would hate to alienate someone on the board over politics.

What? I was about to second DJ. That wasn't a proposal?

I think there's "not representative" (WHAT?!? Not everyone loves Journey?!?) and then there's exclusive. I am confident that not everyone on this board is happy about the Senate takeover. I am sure that some of those people just don't post in Natter, especially around election time.

I wasn't disagreeing with you.
