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.

Ack, pressure!
These are my thoughts:
1) I think the current poll is very, very closely split. And I think a vote out of seven is always going to disenfranchise/piss off more people than a vote out of three or four -- I'd like there to be more of a consensus (yes, I know the Buffy thread poll ended at 52/48 or something, but to me that indicates more agreement than if the top 3 are 18/17/16 and we give it to the 18 -- if my math is right, that means 49% of the people wanted none of the three). So if it were solely up to me, I would do the top 3 from the current poll + Denzel as a runoff, starting tomorrow at noon eastern and going until 5:00 eastern time Monday.
2) But it's not solely up to me, and having three polls in a week is a lot. People may feel they've already voted and ignore the second poll, which would skew the results. It would also mean waiting on the thread at least until Monday, to ensure people who take the weekend off have time to vote. And Monday is President's day -- should we maybe wait until Tuesday?
So, in conclusion, I'd like to see a runoff, but I would undserstand if we went with the thread title that wins this poll. (When would we close it, incidentally?).
Shrift, I'm confused, because you deleted your post and all I could see are the ones responding to it-- but are you talking about reviving Mister Pointy and putting him on shriftweb? Because John's said he's going to put it onto www.rebeccalizard.net. Should I tell him to stop? Are you going to make changes? I'm not understanding what's going on.
Okay, I've added a None of the Above category, for all those people who hate all the titles proposed. (Think "Brewster's Millions".)Vote here.

John and I had put together a version of Mister Pointy ages ago, and I just got around to updating it for the reformatted site once I learned about John deleting his site. (Thus the "So I'm a slacker." rebuttals.)
Because John's said he's going to put it onto www.rebeccalizard.net. Should I tell him to stop?
Definitely not! No, no. There can never be too many Mister Pointy incarnations. Having a local one on the site is cool, and having one the world can know about is even better.
I'm not understanding what's going on.
I deleted my post because I was diddling with the code trying to fix stuff, and broke Mister Pointy. (Kendra rolled over in her grave, I swear!) I didn't want Buffistas wandering over and encountering error messages when using Mister Pointy, and the only available link was from Bureaucracy.
I would have been more verbose, but I was flailing around in error-message-land.
However! Mister Pointy is again working. Either I did something right (doubtful), or a masked man in black saved my arse (more likely).
I would like to clearly and unequivocally state that the current monkey movement is a distinct and independent (though no less vital and compelling) effort from the former monkeypants faction whose victory was cruelly tainted by the migration, and whose efforts involved flamethrowers and underwear.
However, in keeping with the ineffable truth that monkeys are inherently funny, I applaud the efforts of the monkey movement.
I'm probably voting for popcorn, though.
