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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whatever the community wants goes.

For continuations I think it's redundant, but since my issue is *not* seeing them, it's not like I find it cluttering SP. I just eyeball the front page periodically. And didn't feel disenfranchised doing it, even when I was behind here.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Maybe just for new topics, rather than for continuations of existing discussions. Which would make the Firefly notification unnecessary, but not announcements of the Vale 2002 or the LOTR threads.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I think that's ideal, billytea.

I could get behind this.

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

Another adminstrivial question. Should we change the titles of closed threads to indicate that they are no longer active? What I'm thinking of is adding something similar to the [NAFDA] legend to either the end of the title or the slug, such as [closed]. Mostly so newcomers can tell what's active and what's not.

Also, do we want to put a '1' in the first Firefly thread title, so it matches Buffy 1 and Angel 1?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At the end of the title, I think. Because people probably (I'm GUESSING) don't read the slug too many times after they know the gist of the thread, so the eye's more likely to catch a title change.

What happened here on the 23rd of October?

Here are our hittiest days:

That was the day after the Anya backstory episode. Also, there was a big snowstorm in the NE.

Um... 2003? Are we getting ahead of ourselves or something?

Our wings are not tired.

Closed at the end of the title seems like a good plan. There are a lot of threads and it would make it clearer to new members.

Seems to me an announcement of a new thread meets the definition of Press. FWIW

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
