I approve of announcing all new threads except continuations in the Press thread, and of adding [closed] tags to dead threads.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Actually, now that I've thought of it a bit, maybe [archive] instead of [closed].

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think we should use [archive] since we have an archive, and those threads aren't there. It might be confusing.

Good point. [closed] it is, then.

Does "anvil[ly | lacious]" need to be in the FAQ? Is that a local thing or does it come from somewhere else? I kind of have an implicit understanding of it but can't remember it ever being introduced or explained.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think it may have come from MBTV originally, though I'm not sure.

MBTV/TWoP definitely used it in their Wrecked recap, but I think fans were saying it fandom wide, even before then. I know I've seen it far beyond Buffista shores.

No no, I mean I think it started on the MBTV boards, back in S4. Doesn't really matter, though.

Do people feel it needs explaining? Like I say, it's almost never used without some example which should allow you to pick it up implicitly.

Oh, and the thing about the medals has come up in Natter because of my wedding photo, a couple of times now, and I feel terrible not being able to say "The other people who have them are..." and "The people who designed and made them are..." when it comes up. Should that be in the FAQ, or can someone Nilly up any kind of official post about their being awarded?
