I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

On the links page, absolutely. But if we're to have an actual recs page (and I'd be glad to assist with the upkeep, btw) I'd like to see individual stories.

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

That's also under discussion on the BBaBB thread somewhere, about the scope, etc.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Plasmo, brings up a good point. We circled around the banning process and came to a general consensus of warning, suspension, banning, but we didn't nail it down and make it specific. Which we should probably go ahead and do.

Again, I'm going on record as get much more specific than that and you're asking for trouble.

Your asking for it either way, mind, but you're asking for worse trouble when you go into more specifics.

But that's the bitter old BBS queen/sysop in me talking.

Thanks for all the fish.

The quote that just came up in the header (That's disturbing. You are emotionally scarred and will turn out badly.) is attributed to Dawn, when, in fact, it is Anya referring to Dawn.

Just for accuracy.

Thanks, Elena. It's been corrected.

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

Do you need more quotes? Because I can provide the source HTML from my very unfinished PHP experiment in random quote generation

Hec volunteered to be in charge of marshalling quotes. That way he can be sure of avoiding dupes, et al. Send them to him, why don't you?

I am the anti-new-thread girl, but what do people think about a "Help! Need a tape of!" thread? I hate to see these things risk getting lost in Natter.

I think a help I need a tape thread would be brilliant.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
