'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.

Would having a special thread (started for the occasion) be...not Kosher? Because I think I like that idea better.
I'm not sure which idea you prefer, Debet.
As for the Kosherness - well, we've never lost anybody before, and I'm proposing something new. Thinking of how we handle that as a community. What our rituals will be.
I think that starting a thread would be an excellent idea. It might also be a nice thing for Kimi to be able to read through when/if she wishes.
If that's a formal proposal Hec, I second it.

Well, I thought we could kick it around first to see if that was a good idea. But ultimately, yes, we'd take it to Lightbulbs.

Generally voting is involved . . . though if anything could be carried by acclimation, I'd think this sort of thing would be.

In my morbid moments, I've thought: "If I died now, Emmett wouldn't know much of the adult me. It'd be nice if he could find some of that among my Buffista threads. There's a lot of me here."

We could have a Gus COMM deathmatch uh...battle royale and vote on our favorite Gus quote.
Sorry, I really don't intend any disrespect. But if anybody had a dark sense of humor it was Gus.
I think a special thread would be better. I, also, second.
Not that my vote is needed, but I third. Everyone mourns in his or her own way, and I'm sure that there are those who would rather have a specific place to go or to avoid as we each work through our feelings.
I think some sort of waking thread might be a good idea. Gus is the first (to my knowledge) Buffista we've lost. And as Hec said, even though we might wish otherwise, we may have need of one again in the future.
I don't know what a thread to that effect might look like, but I think we should maybe have one.

Encomiums. Toasts. COMMs. Remembrances. I wasn't kidding about the battle royale. That'd be fun. Fuck, I'd feel entirely complimented in the afterlife if you had a Hecliments death match after I am demised.
I think open it for a specific time and date. Give everybody a chance to search the archives for favorite encounters and conversations. Leave it open for three days or so. A proper roaring wake. Then save it in the archive until such time...
