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]
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.
'War Stories'
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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Can anyone do one of those poll-taking thingies that was used for cafepress merchandise? Or is that a tricky thing to do?
eta Okay, scratch that if Nilly's on the case.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nilly (god, I'm lazy) -- could you put a post in Press about the vote and link to the start of the discussion?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I vote yes.
But I wonder why it needs to be a vote. In the past people have asked for new threads to address a particular interest (like TTT or Farscape). If enough people were interested to sustain such a thread it was made. It wasn't a majority vote.
Since subscriptions allow people to avoid threads that don't interest them it needn't clutter up their message board.

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
I vote that I don't give a crap one way or the other. Is there a space for that on the ballot?

Because there's dissent, I'm going to guess, Hec.
Why didn't it happen the first time?

I vote yes.
I also vote that if we're doing a vote, we should set up a poll so there aren't 50 posts worth of just "yes" or "no" in bureaucracy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
How does natter not allow discussions? askye, please come in natter and ask away. Is it that the people who would know the answers aren't there at that moment and therefore miss the post or is it because only a few people join into the discussion?
Here's the thing, it is just two different mindsets. No one is gonna to be caused pain or physically or emotionally hurt if they have to go to more threads, they may not like it and they may choose not to do it. Same thing for people using search to navigate through one natter thread and continue discussions they missed (I, for one, enjoy when someone cuts and pastes a subject from several days ago in natter with a question or comment on it).
I personally don't like thread spread. Will I adapt to it? Sure I will, or I'll just ignore it. Some posters I really enjoy avoid natter because they find it bothersome. I avoid the show threads most of the time because I don't like slogging through natter to find most recent show discussion. It's a loss, but in order to work, fuction in my life and sleep, I have to make choices about what I am going to read - all threads all the time? nsm.
