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 apologized. John apologized. I think the best thing we can do at this point is leave it behind.
One of the things I've learned from this community is that intelligent, sane, thoughtful people can have disagreements, apologize, and move on without it devolving into community-wide splits or permanent fights. I really value that.
Also, why do the Foamies need a separate thread, rather than being in movies?
Er, I didn't know we had a movies thread. Do we? I thought that folks wanted movie talk to stay in Natter.
Uh huh. Especially this part:

People you have

to keep up. The conflict was soooo last night. It's over.
As far as threads are concerned, I think we should set some parameters on what kinds of tv shows get threads; i.e. ME shows, or ME related shows (i.e. Greenwalt, Endlund, Minear shows that may not be ME) or any shows. Personally I think new threads should be allowed for any sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural type shows (including Alias) that at least ten buffistas want to have.
Someone mentioned earlier that unrelated tv shows may draw new members who aren't ME watchers. I think this is a good thing because they will not be able to avoid the buffista references and may actually begin watching the ME shows, just to see what all the other buffistas keep referring to. What better mission for a fan site than to create new fans.
