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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Go away for a weekend, and look what happens. Just so it's clear, I'm not exactly standing where the general TV thread is, I just thought it was looking like the only reasonable way to go. However, after hearing some of the arguments against simply a "drama" thread, versus somewhat more clear delineation, I would say a white-fonted general TV would only be better than natter because there's less natter, and that in-depth discussion would probably be lost in the white font. It would be a visually interesting thread to skim through, though.

As a spoiler-ho (or at least spoiler indifferent), just about any combination of shows works for me. I'd just like to see some more in-depth discussion as opposed to what we generally get in natter.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I didn't even realise TV was allowed in Natter until I saw it mentioned here. But then, I am 34% stupid.

You know, I had presumed that Drive would of course be black-font discussed in Minearverse, and was intending to subscribe back to that thread when the show started if I found it met my discussion-needed needs.

Minearverse is NAFDA, so I don't know why we wouldn't have black-fonted discussion (early airing of episodes in Canada aside).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes. I thought the question was re: the early Canadian airing

I'm hoping Drive generates enough traffic and lasts long enough to get its own thread. I really don't like going in Minearverse. There's a bunch of people in there I don't know, and I can't follow what they're talking about most of the time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm hoping Drive generates enough traffic and lasts long enough to get its own thread.

Unless Tim has multiple shows airing at once, Drive is going to be pretty much the sole topic in Minearverse for the duration of the run. What reason would there be for moving it out?


DebetEsse - Apr 09, 2007 8:55:33 am PDT #8883 of 10001
Woe to the fucking wicked.

But, given history, it would be more prudent, at this point, to wait and see, I think.

My recollection is that when there's actually a show on the air to talk about, the unrelated chatter in Minearverse dies down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The people you don't know would certainly end up in a Drive thread, Sean. Drive is about the only topic in there now.
