Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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.

No, we don't whitefont for UnAmericans. If they go into NAFDA threads, they know it's at their own risk.

I'm getting muddled. I mean in non-NAFDA threads, don't I? Anyway, in threads for people there is whitefonting for one reason, and in threads for another lot of people there is whitefonting for another reason and it's all very confusing.

It's past the vote deadline for the movies thread -- could a Stompy create it? The majority vote-getter is "Buffista Movies 1: Who Doesn't Love Denzel?"

Personally I was hoping for Monkey, but LJ's right.

Also, does WUTW mean Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mebbe so. The current discussion is of the NAFDA-thread whitefonting for the tape-delayed.

There should be no spoilery discussion in the non-NAFDA threads. Period. Stuff that gets whitefonted there is traditionally things like character names said in passing, but if there's real discussion of plot points, episode analysis, and so on, it belongs somewhere else.

I suppose that whitefonting in non-NAFDA threads instead of banning is because it would be too much to ask people to not mention at all the current seasons of the shows, specially in a zone as freewheeling as Natter.

Heh. I wanted the "no romance. or men. or hobbits," cos I thought it was really funny. We were thwarted, Wolfram.

We'll just have to fill up the thread very quickly so we get to have our preferred title for the second thread.

What about top ten lists, one post per film?

Proving once and for all that Buffista Denzel love triumphs over Monkey love and Hobbit love (but only barely).

Lots of numberslutting, too. (To move the thread along. I post to slow.)

Our wings are not tired.

I know I've thrown a few taunts out since I started downloading, and I'm sorry to have annoyed people with them. I'll stop

Seconded.

The white fonting period of one week or two or whatever is fine with me. The tape delayed really need to chime in with the ideal time period. I am looking forward to discussing the shows together outside of spoilers where I dare not tread.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Just to add one more thing to the things being discussed (sorry, really) but I've got a suggestion about the watch-and-posts. Could someone, after the show is over on the East coast, edit a post at the beginning of the watch-and-posts to put in a link to the first post after the episode ended? Kind of like what we did with the deathmatch posts back at TT.
