Question: Where is Natter 29? I checked Archives and Plan, I can't find it either place. Was it eaten in the exodus upheaval?
Bev, it's second on the list in the WX archive forum.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

This is by no means an urgent request, nor a particularly important one -- in the FAQ, the URL for the BRQG is [link] I've got a redirect up at that URL that points to:
And, since I'm thinking about it, I'll go change the URL pointing back to the Buffistas on the BRQG to the Phoenix board.

I would be against creating a thread specifically for the mocking of badfic just because that's not how this board works, I don't think-- at TT, you could start a new thread for a new *topic* of dicussion, but here, threads are for *areas* of discussion (like, fic), within which topics (like, badfic-mockage) crop up and die away. It's a different paradigm, and a basically a different *layout* and setup here; and-- do you see what I mean? I don't think I'm being silly, I think that's how this works.
Especially with the Message Center as the way to check your threads. I have too many threads to keep organized in my head to add another.

And just to make RL crazy, I'm going to suggest adding another thread.
I like to talk politics, as do some other Buffistas. However, when any type of political conversation goes on for any length of time sooner later you get a post along the lines "ignoring disturbing political conversation". Which generally I take as indication that they want to ignore the political discussion but are having to make an effort to do so - cause otherwise why mention that it is being ignored. And that particular conversation dies.
So my thought is: why not have a Buffista Politics thread? A nice, flame free place for poltical discussion that will not distract from discussion of corsets and gay vampire snuff porn. Not that politics would be completely excluded from natter and other places, but that if the discussion got extended it could move to politics.

Is this even possible? ;-)
(edited to say that I have no objection. Nor do I have any interest, but that's just me.)

I think a new thread is a good idea. A political thread is bound to be a lot more heated than the natter thread usually is. Having it's own environment is probably a good idea.

The having no interest is one good reason to support the new thread. Less politics in natter.

I'm totally for having a separate political thread. Because then I can avoid it.

Yup that's the point. Those who hate poltics can avoid it. Those who find politics of interest can hang out there. And if I end up there all by myself, we can always delete the thread. *g*
