I'm having a Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel moment in completely not getting that as a Beatles reference. Though I have no objection to it as a thread title, and certainly have no suggestions of my own.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Natter 9 ... Natter 9 ... Natter 9 ... Or something like that.
Ah, ok.
Nah, I prefer the menagerie.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So is Natter 9 the final answer?

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

He's a lot like the rhythm that way.

Eventhough all the talk about rules and meta issues gets tedious it's better that we do it than not.
Though I don't natter, it really is the heart of the Buffistas now. And it's important to acknowledge that fact and change the definition paragraph in the "About this Site".
For various reasons, interest in and extreme love for the shows that originally brought us all together are dying.
The shows will eventually go away, more sooner than later, and then what? Most people who don't natter will wander off anyway. Personally, it will suck for me but I don't want to try and change the community and promote thread proliferation just because I can't natter, yet still want to be a Buffista.
If Buffista is to be all about natter, the the two big natter threads, the main one and Spike thread, are what will keep the community going.
And as Kat said, they must be tended to and protected. Everyone must be committed to it. Natter is what will last. I think that if thread proliferation hurts that, then hard decisions must be made.
We can't keep holding on to the good old days. And we can't go back or tell Joss not to post so new people don't show up. Everything changes. All we can do is move forward.

I've thought about the Board-After-Buffy days myself (and hoping the Board-After-Angel days are a couple of years off). I would still hang with the Bitches, and I hope the Fic boards are still there as well. When/if we lose the shows, we might want to put in threads where we can debate issues that came up in the episodes, like we have in the show threads. I don't want to lose you folk.
