Where does it say that? The slug that I see says:
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or the sad fate of Pluto? This is the place.
We started as a TV centered board, so would discussion of TV be off-topic?
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
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.

Well, we started off as a Buffy-centric Board so everything that isn't BVTS/Angel is pretty much off-topic. (Natter started at TT and moved with us to WX and to here.)

What is even happening?
Maybe we should consider changing "Off topic" to "General"?
And yes, as Liese mentions, I'll get up in the business of the the up-in-everybody's-business people, and suggest clarification to the NAFDA and white font related entries in the FAQ, such that it's clear to a newbie that we do discuss current TV shows that don't fit anywhere else, in Natter, in white font.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We started as a Buffy centred board, so discussion not of Buffy was why Natter was created. As various topics gained heft and support, they got threads. If you can't find a place to put it, Natter is its home. That needs to be made clear. The thread description implies TV lives there, but there is no statement made.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That's why I'm thinking it might be better to replace "Off topic" with "General". Do you think the TV bit should change, and that something about TV should be added to the slug?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
A new Technology thread is going to be needed soon too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's a genre thing, brenda. You wouldn't understand.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
A new Technology thread is going to be needed soon too.
Don't worry. We'll build one.
