Please no links on really popular boards! We can handle a trickle, but I don't know about a flood. Of new people, that is.
'Never Leave Me'
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.

I'm with yall since I had to flee the TWoP btvs boards due to the very disturbing atmosphere.
I was thinking the same ting. The people who post in the fanfiction thread seem to avoid the rest of the btvs board for the same reason as you, candy, but a link would be a little too open.
Hey, I have a bureaucratic question: Can the FAQ come off the geocities site now?
Jesse, we can keep it there as a backup, I think. All the WX boards link to it should the Phoenix have an outage.
DX, I just noticed -- the FAQ and Links links on the filk site still point to geocities and go.to.
I'm torn on the idea of a badfic thread. On the one hand, it seems somewhat on the mean side, on the other there is a tremendous amount of entertainment value to be had. When you release your fic upon the world, you are releasing it into a public forum and opening yourself up for criticism. I don't feel I'd have a problem with my meager contributions to the ficworld being mocked, but writing ability is not a load-bearing member of my ego. Maybe a disclaimer would be sufficient, warning off those who might be uneasy with the mocking, or who would be offended if they turn out the be the mockee.
I'm uncomfortable with a badfic mocking thread, just because it seems counter to the "we're nice people who don't flame" rules laid down in the Etiquette guide.
DX, I just noticed -- the FAQ and Links links on the filk site still point to geocities and go.to.
Oops. You're right. Will fix shortly.
Okay, the links in the filk site are fixed, and I changed the reference to the Buffista Contingency Plan to the Buffista Phoenix.
