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?

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.

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.

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.

I agree with Hec. I vote for a music thread. I'm wondering if TTT couldn't morph into a general movie thread.

I vote "Yes" (but I feel sort of bad about it, because I see the argument against thread proliferation changing Natter)

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?

It's because there are several hundred posts in there every day, so it's easy for specific topics to get lost.
