"When in doubt, white it out" was the policy at WX.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Personally, I'd love to read a thread with whitefonted spoilers, each with a description of what kind of spoiler it is.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
See, this is why I avoid spoiler threads entirely, even though I don't necessarily avoid getting spoiled. It's just easier.
Ok so it is pretty clear that everyone but me is anti-thread drift (or at least an overwhelming majority).
I may be misunderstanding you, but I thought it was the other way around. What many of us like about Natter is the thread drift from topic to topic, and therefore we didn't want to see topic-specific Natter threads.

Burrell speaks for me. I love going into Natter and having no clue where those 40 (or more) unread messages are going to take me.
I do like the idea of a tape fairy thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, all of you fairy lovers ... thread title?
