Yeah, I know.
Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

Breathing slowly and deeply. I have noticed a few new names in various threads of late, but they have been of the good.
OK, someone just posted and their ID was #397....have we hit 400 yet??
The link to this board was posted at the FOX Firefly board, and the Bronze Beta.
Grr, argh.
But, sort of inevitable, right? That's what happens when the Big Boys come and play at your playground...others follow. No worries, though. We are kind, we are strong and we have a damn lot of really stompy stompy feet!
Yeah, it is probably inevitable, but... I dunno. I feel protective like a mama bear of the respectful, intelligent community here and I don't want to see it overrun by starfuckers.
All understandable. But with the stars come the starfuckers. IJS.
well, no one new to me seems to be saying anything anywhere other than in Firefly. And no one is being obnoxious. And some of the unfamiliar names might be long-time lurkers.
And even 400 registrees isn't a big deal. Let's not panic until there's anything resembling evidence we need to panic.
I will say, it's a bonus that people can come here, read Joss's posts, and not have to register. And, I think, that the posts can be found easily. I'm wondering, if we do get Joss-dotted, would it help to put his and Tim's posts on a static page, and redirect queries for the specific URLs of their posts to that page? Or would the bandwidth be the same in either case?
