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.

I think we've moved on from a community dedicated to the discussion of ME works, and into a community brought together by discussions of ME Works.
And that all seems simple to me, that things will evolve, we'll find new stuff to obsess over...like, um, girlie elves. But not me.
Subcommunities were starting to squick me when someone coined the term "Minearista" (i think that's what it was). But then I remembered that there are Bitches, and I'm not one of those, and that's a pretty large subcommunity all on its own.
There was a point! And I lost it due to nicotine withdrawal. I'm going outside to find my point, again.

Allyson. I said that, and I was kidding.
ETA: It was around the time that we had a huge influx of people coming just to Minearverse purely for the celebrity factor. I was somewhat poking fun at the phenomenom, is all.
I remember, now, Kristin.
I still want T-shirts that say "Minear's Junior Rangers"

I think subcommunities become factions when you aren't a part of the one you are talking about.
Cause, honestly, we have subcommunities, that have been codified and protected when other threads were consolidated that have people in them that I see oh-so-rarely. And I personally think it's great for them to have a space and yeah, more power to them.
So I'm not worried about it.
I love Liese's idea so much right now about just letting the board breathe for a bit.
I'm kinda bummed out that it hasn't even been a week and WHAM! we feel the need to discuss it in a post ME-TV world.
What Allyson said (except for the nicotine stuff).
Has the board ever gone through attrition phases? I think that we've reached a size where some waxing and waning is inevitable. But I'll bet we have fresh influxes with the Wonderfalls DVD release, the Big Damn Movie, Animated Buffy (if it really is going forward) and Harsh Mistress Moon. And I would bet that before all those things are over with we'll have found more things to fixate on and analyze and snark about.
So.... yeah, I'm perfectly happy to breathe and let things happen organically.
I'm good with the breathing. Will try to reign in paranoid sky is falling tendencies until chunks are coming towards my head.

I've come around to this, too, with one minor exception that shouldn't be controversial (closing the Previously thread).

This does only occur once S5 finishes airing overseas, right? Cause the current Angel thread should remain NAFDA until that designation is no longer necessary. Just making sure.

Sorry, I should have made that clear -- yes, that's correct.
