Hey, I have a bureaucratic question: Can the FAQ come off the geocities site now?
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Jesse, we can keep it there as a backup, I think. All the WX boards link to it should the Phoenix have an outage.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Question: Where is Natter 29? I checked Archives and Plan, I can't find it either place. Was it eaten in the exodus upheaval?

Peel it and see
OK, these are all good points. I'll give private shout-outs to the people at TWoP who would enjoy us, and not post anything publically.
