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.

(Also, feeling a little pissy at being given the old talking-to when John gets a free pass.)
Somehow I missed the original post and thought it
was
John being called on the carpet.
FTR, I don't think anyone meant anything hurtful, nor did I take it that way. And as I said above, I thought the chart was interesting precisely because it demonstrated that there were considerably more people involving themselves in this discussion than the Gof14 remarks would suggest.
I'm glad we've finally called for a vote on most of the remaining issues, because we all really need a break.
Going back to the thread name for Natter 10, which we may need tonight, I like Bitterchick's suggestion of X-treme natter: we are trying this at home.
From the randomosity that is my brain:
Natter: X Marks The Spork
I love that Kat and I both had 22 posts, yet I had less than a 3rd of the wordiness. Go ecomony of words! Or possibly Kat's posts had actual content.
Nah. I'm just a blabber. I was so excited! It was all...Look Laura and I are matchy match! My posts are much more with the fluff than Laura, apparently.
But I really don't mind being one of a very few people who is interested in spending a lot of time in this thread dealing with all this stuff.
I liked it too. Cause this is the first time stats have come out and I'm not the biggest blabber in that area. Woo hoo.
I thought that I was in the dread Group of 14. And I, for one, am really offended by the comment. When I thought I was one of
those
people, it felt like the implication was, "YOU FREAKS who keep talking about X!" And it also felt really divisive as if to imply the 14 people who preceeded PMM on the previous stats were some cabal who worked as a borg mind to torture everyone else. In reality, I think the people who post a lot do so because they AREN'T in agreement. So they keep discussing until they find some places where they overlap. Which is cool, even if it is exhausting.
I'm weighing in on the Natter title. I like X-treme Natter, but for myself, I don't need the colon and all that follow it. Or, for the Vin Diesel fans, we could go with Natter xXx.

It's Gang, not group. It's a pun thing.
And it also felt really divisive as if to imply the 14 people who preceeded PMM on the previous stats were some cabal who worked as a borg mind to torture everyone else.
Frankly, I felt the same way when the "it's not a real consensus, it's just whoever's in Bureaucracy at the time" complaints started to lead to this whole voting thing in the first place.
So now, because of that, it's a slightly different group of however-many people doing the bulk of the talking and decision-making, but nothing, really, has changed.
IJS.
Yeah, I like xXx too. Cute.
