Canada's at least a season behind, I think.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

Thanks, DX! I was afraid I was whining.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can I ask for a moratorium on numberslutting in the no natter threads?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That sounds good, ita. Would it still be okay to gloat within a non-natter post if a cool number is reached by accident?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's perfectly sensible. Just wanting them to be as contentful as possible, those threads.

Would it be possible to put a reminder to say what thread the quotation is from somewhere in COMM?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I put something in the thread description, but that's only displayed at the top of the thread.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I don't really get that as a rule, either. I could see a link back to the post, so you could read the context, but just knowing that something was said in Bitches doesn't tell me how many hundred posts back or assist me in searching for it. Sometimes you need to know the quote is talking about that Buffy show, though, for it to be funny.

I think people've been pretty good about putting that info in when it's needed.
