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.

How many registered users are there right now? Just curious.

(Also, have there been any interesting patterns in the registrations? Like, more during a certain week, etc.)

I was wondering if there's a way to tell how many people post without counting the names in each thread.

Noo! It was supposed to be "Bite you in a heartbeat."!

Lyra Jane and others: should I shut down the poll or wait for somebody to open the movie thread first? And is a movie thread still going to happen? Where did all the red tape come from?

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

Noo! It was supposed to be "Bite you in a heartbeat."!

I didn't think we had a strong consensus either way. If we did, I'm sorry.

Let me say upfront that I'm about 300 posts behind in this thread, and having read back through the last few hundred Natter 8 posts and the continuing discussion in Natter 9 I'm not feeling up to reading through the War Thread discussion here just yet. But, assuming the subject is still under discussion, I'd like to throw my .02 in. The idea of the thread, which appealed to me at first, is starting to give me a serious wiggins, and I'd much rather see the topic remain in Natter. There may be times when it seems to take over, but those will be the times that those in need need it most, IMO. But if we decide on that route, I wouldn't object to ruling that the topic belongs only in Natter, so that the show threads, Bitches, and the other discussion threads remain a safe place for those who want to avoid talking about the war. Assuming there is one and this whole discussion isn't moot. t fingers crossed

There's a conversation that started with post #9893 in Natter 8. I gather it is kind of going on in Bitches, also? About content, and such. Just a pointer in case someone's looking for it.
