Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

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.

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

I concur with DX on the Bureaucracy/BBaBB distinction.

Aren't tape requests usually posted in Press?

Haven't been yet, and I don't think they should be. Press is for things like concerts, appearances, stuff like that.

I just feel really bad when I see tape requests drown under natter. Especially on voluminous days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, can we set up buffistas.com and .net to forward here?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I would think that an "I need a tape!" thread (which I myself would have used yesterday, had it been an option) would go on the admin side. I tend to check Beep Me and Press whenever I see new posts there. I would imagine a new post in Tape! would stand out in the same way.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I don't think it would be so voluminous that it would become an annoyance. I'd be for the thread.

I would think "I need a tape" could go in Beep Me, but if y'all are hellbent on another thread, I don't care THAT much!

If you come back after 3 weeks dark to check up, do you care that I can't work my VCR? I'm very Beep Me pro keeping it pure.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, and when/if Beep Me rolls over, I'd like to see it titled: Beep Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar

I notice the header for Buffy Semi-Spoilers got changed to expand the scope of the thread to include magazine interviews -- was this done with consensus? Will Angel Semi-Spoilers be expanded the same way?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My understanding was it was the consensus we actually reached at WX, but didn't post, therefore leading to inadvertant spoilage of someone.

Our guiding force, I think, is "common knowledge", which is hard to regulate.

And I don't know about the Angel thing, but my sense is that it should be.
