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.

Couldn't we put a Natter-esque "Discussion continues here" link at the end of the closed thread, and reference it with a link in the slug of the new one so anyone interested in the prior conversations can go back easily?

That's a good idea, Matt.

Fine with me.

Okay, it's open. Let us know if anything needs changin'.
