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.

I really don't understand the votes against general music and movie threads. There are a number of people who have asked for these dedicated threads because Natter does not permit in depth discussion on those subjects anymore. But if you didn't want to leave Natter - you're free to talk about anything you want there. Nobody has ever said "Take this discussion out of Natter and go put it in Literary or Bitches." Unless there was a NAFDA issue.
There's no fair or logical reason to have Literary and not allow Movies or Music - especially if some people want to have Movies and Music. If we've allowed threads as tightly focused as single show threads on Farscape and Due South and Smallville, it makes no sense to me that we couldn't have general boards on Music or Movies.
I am for new movies and music threads.
So far, I have offered no opinion on what should and should not be offered. I have explained how I (meonlyme) post, and how the proliferation of threads negatively affects that. I do not expect to change anyone's mind. Farscape's existence doesn't justify a music thread to me. It's why I don't want one.
Are we voting here, or are we just talking?
I've voted: no.
A better tallier than I is required.
I will officially abstain. I can see the pros and cons of having these threads. If they are created, I will likely use them. If they are not created, I won't miss having them.
I'm tallying, and voting yes.
[Tal, nickname Taly or Tali, is a name in Hebrew, so the word 'tallying' always looked wrong for me, like taller, only not. And it doesn't help that my best friend from highschool, Tal, is around 6 feet tall]
Can anyone do one of those poll-taking thingies that was used for cafepress merchandise? Or is that a tricky thing to do?

Okay, scratch that if Nilly's on the case.
What's the web site we normally use for free polls? think that will be handier than doing it in here.
Nilly (god, I'm lazy) -- could you put a post in Press about the vote and link to the start of the discussion?
