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.

I insist on large batches of grumpy East Coasters backing you up before I give up on this entertaining idea.
I'm on the East Coast, I'm grumpy thanks to lack of sleep (seriously. You have no idea.), and I'm willing to back them up. I mean, what if the Companion of the moment skipped and skimmed like a flat rock across the still waters of the Murray to get there? (...This picture doesn't make me any happier to be at work.) What if their windows of opportunity for the posting are tiny things? What if I happen to numberslut at 2 in the morning, and all the summary you get is "Phwooaargh"?
Fraught. I should definitely be putting that into a sentence about now, but again with the sleep deprivation. Still, fraught. Oh, and Phwooaargh.
Yeah.

I like it when *other* people summarize, but I can't do it well. Cause I can't remember the last 10 posts, let alone 100.
Not complaining -- just highly amused that my link to Rebecca's post of John's update report got moved to Beep Me, so that it's a relocated link to a link to a posting that contains a letter, which seems like quite a lot of layers of meta.
Theo, I'm trying to maintain the distinction between beep and press -- personal news goes in beep me, but I didn't want it to look like linking it was *my* idea, so credit where credit is due.
I dithered over which topic to use, as it was a bit of news that I'd have been sorry to miss -- I've been wondering how John is doing, and it had been a chattery night, so more people are likely to have been skipping.
Do Nilly's new episode links go to the start of the watch-and-post, or the start of the post-episode discussion? One of my friends said he wished there was a separate thread for watch-and-post and I thought Nilly could just mark them both.
Summarizing 100 posts would be a lot easier if we got that feature "Display posts __ through __." We could also help people on the Natter Diet by changing the "Recent" link to display the last 50 posts.
Nou, her links go to the beginning of the watch-and-posts.
I have, once again, changed our Buffistapics rating from "adult" to "general." I also changed a few of the picture descriptions ("Blocked Beach Babes" and "HOTTIES!!!") to try and keep them from rating us "adult" again.
