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.

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.

why it's called Natter, and not Terribly Important Things You Need to Know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.

Both Nilly and Dana sent me files of Buffy quotes for the random quote generator. I didn't format these and send them before my trip but will get to them within this week. Sorry for the delay.

The quote generator told me today, "You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone." It was pretty funny. We need more insults in there.
