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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I love that one too!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Are we going to create a new thread, or reopen the experimental thread under a new name? Also, are there any changes to the thread slug and header, apart from removing the "experimental" verbiage? Right now it's:

Slug:

Thread for discussion of non-fiction television, including documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Header:

This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Personally, I would prefer that we simply reopen the old thread with a new name. I'm not sure how anyone else feels about that.

It's the creation of a new thread, not a re-opening of an old thread. Experimental stays experimental; this is a brand-spakin'-new Nonfic thread.

I'd like to incorporate the wording from the proposal for the header, because I think it touches on the kinds of television and examples of that kind of television. And I'd like something clever-er for the slug, really.

ETA: The proposal I put forth was a new thread, not an extension of experimental. I think it's important that the experimentals exist as they currently do, to reference the data Cindy was looking for.

What is even happening?

I don't care, either way. If it were a thread in which I'd been active, because the subject matter is exactly the same, I would prefer naming and re-slugging the experimental, just so the conversation could continue easily, but I don't think it's a big deal. It seems to me it should be SA's call. It was her proposal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I vote for renaming and reopen. We had conversations in there and I would like the conversation to keep going. It's all here what the history of the thread is.

I *love* the proposed new title.

Note: if someone feels REALLY strongly that it should be a new thread, I wouldn't fight it.
