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.

If you like them as is, when the experiment is done (June 1) you can propose we open regular (non-experimental threads).
OK, I formally propose regular, non-experimental threads, possibly with the same divisions, possibly with changed white font rules, with the possibility of proposing break-out threads for shows that are overwhelming the discussions. Said threads to appear when the experimental threads expire.
No, please. After. Propose whatever after June 1.
I'm fine with not keeping them open, so long as we're not moratorium-precluded from proposing non-experimental versions of some of these threads, particularly a reality show thread of some kind. I've grown rather fond of that thread.
Why wait? We know the experiment will end, we know the threads will close. Why not have everything done--the discussion, the voting--so that the next phase is in place?
I think we're moratorium-precluded from futching with the experimental threads. I think they have to close.
After June 1, I think people are free to propose what they want. I would hope to see something more refined than four buckets. I think we're starting to get an idea of what's working for us, but that's up to the proposers.
If it's a question of gathering more data and waiting for the formal end of the experiment, are there actually expected to be any new developments that will change the opinions that have evolved thus far?
I agree that Non-Fiction seems to be working the best out of the Experimental threads. It's taken a lot of white font out of Natter, plus I'm in favor of anything that gets kat perez to post more.
It's a question of honoring the original proposal which is what people voted in, and which said we'd discuss all this after the threads closed on June 1. If people thought this was going to happen, some who voted in favor of the experiment might have voted it down, for all I know.
What's the rush, anyhow? The season is over for just about every (regularly scheduled) show. Traffic slows down here over the summer, and during re-run season.
OK, I formally propose regular, non-experimental threads, possibly with the same divisions, possibly with changed white font rules, with the possibility of proposing break-out threads for shows that are overwhelming the discussions. Said threads to appear when the experimental threads expire.
I back this up.
We voted to discuss it after June 1.
