Guys, DNFtEC. Please
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
probably was a good idea to get rid of me.
OK. Bye!
Moving on... I've been convinced to switch my vote on the Movies and Music thread idea. Let's do 'em.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
probably was a good idea to get rid of me.
Although, apparently, we didn't.

Gone and soon forgotten.
Nah, I'm gone. Just wanted to throw a few posts up here in Admin since I never got the chance to before. Not going to be back once this gets deactivated. Just wanted to defend myself a tad before going. Didn't think you'd mind that much.

I'm not seeing an EC, Jess, though I may if this goes on for much longer.
Michael, you seem like a decent guy in the way you're posting now. I'm sorry this wasn't the right board for you.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
'Ki just say? As I read Allyson's post, it was a riff on a joke on the people who kept posting, expecting Joss would read their letters. It was, in no way, utterly and completely serious; and when contextualised as it should be doesn't pass my personal definition of "personal attack".

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
(a thread which I was never invited to in order respond to any of this, by the way)
For the new folks (or anyone who may be thinking of delurking), please know that no one needs an invitation to post here. This thread is as open to you as any other on the board.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Because ALL of the Phoenix threads are open to ALL members. If you don't know what the purpose of a given thread is, read the FAQ or the thread header, or ask.

Could we add a link to the bureaucracy thread to the short etiquette?

I'm against a thread for music and a thread for movies. As it is, I'm little Ms. Skippy McSkimmerpants. Those of you who find Natter tremendously difficult to deal with are totally heard by me. I totally agree. Though I don't have as much issue with skipping and skimming, I do find the thread incredibly fast posting.
But the thing is, there is natter all over. I haven't really read in FF since The Influx and because without a new episode, it just felt like Natter +. Ditto with other threads.
If you build a music thread or a movie thread, then natter will happen there too. I guess I'm not particularly convinced that it will be any easier for me to keep up with those topical threads than it is for me to keep up with Natter.
