Calls for a music thread again, BTW.
Which I'm still against.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

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.

MOO apparently is a recursive acronym, standing for MUD Object Oriented.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also still not for music.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also not for music.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think our relative musical mileages tend to vary too much for a sustained discussion with a critical mass of people.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I have no real opinion on the matter, but should note that the big reason we were against it before was because of the already-extant threads in WXing and TT, which Fater was a big part of, IIRC.
Still, I'm inclined to think that music natter, even more than technoogy and book natter, will roam freely around the board, and that fencing it may be a self-defeating prospect.

technoogy
Heh. Some typos are too funny to fix.

I want to note that Buffistechnoogy (new name) is more of a Q&A thread than a chat thread.
It's not a thread where I'd want to discourage natter, but it ought to be a thread that anyone can go to with a question about computers or whatever, and a thread that people who can help with computers and whatever keep an eye on. I don't know what an apposite name for that kind of thread is, but it's kind of different to the other ones in my mental map.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I'm giving Victor a technoogy right now, AIFG!
Also against a music thread, for all the reasons already cited because Hayden's board (which I've forgotten the location of) is a great resource for music geeks that seemed to me in sync enough with the Buffista vibe that one could be perfectly comfortable there.

Also against a music thread, because everyone here except me has appalling taste in music and I would just get frustrated reading it.
(That was a joke. You all got that, right?)
