I vote that I don't give a crap one way or the other. Is there a space for that on the ballot?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

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

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I agree with Hec. I vote for a music thread. I'm wondering if TTT couldn't morph into a general movie thread.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I vote "Yes" (but I feel sort of bad about it, because I see the argument against thread proliferation changing Natter)

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm wondering if TTT couldn't morph into a general movie thread.
And Farscape morph into a general non-ME-TV thread.
