Aren't we supposed to be discussing Cindy's proposal in Lightbulbs, anyway?
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I think we were waiting for a stompy to officially open it. (Except for me, as I will be going to sleep now. How did it get to be past 1 am?)

If that's the case then I'd happily propose a Bones or a Numbers thread. I'm just going with the shows that I actually watch. I'd love a bucket thread of the shows I'm watching.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Noise, I would second your proposal if I hadn't just seconded Cindy's, and most of why I am going all seconding happy is because I want focussed discussion. If you still want to propose your thread after this discussion, is done, please do propose again!
Eta: I'm very sorry, but I have been extremely confused by this while discussion and haven't been able to understand what any one person was stating or proposing or speculating on for some time. I don't want to marginalize your proposal at all.

What is even happening?
Noise, I kind of think of what you're proposing as the next step. We'll see what shows a decent amount of people talk about a decent amount, and propose the appropriate thread(s) (buckets and or dedicated show threads).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Lightbulbs is now open to discuss Cindy's proposal.

Trust me, as soon as this voting is done I've got three different proposals. We're going to have lightbulbs open for a few weeks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. Having multiple proposals up there was kinda messy. Next time I'd like to see the first one up have more of a chance before the second one goes up.

This is sure going to make scheduling the upgrade tricky.

Well part of that was the fact that I made the proposal and then had to run away for a few hours. That was very bad timing on my part.

Yeah, but bad timing was one of the things we were trying to correct for with the voting process.
In a discussion like this (which should probably have hit Bulbs sooner, rather than happen here) it's easy for stuff to get passed by. especially if the author's not around to wave flags.
Not sure how to get around that other than frontloading a proposal with all sorts of "No, this I really mean as more than a suggestion."
