Can I ask for a moratorium on numberslutting in the no natter threads?

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.

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

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?

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think people've been pretty good about putting that info in when it's needed.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Would it be okay to have a link to Set Profile somewhere at the bottomish of the page, like with the
Buffistas Home | FAQ | How-To | Etiquette | About | E-mail Admins
things? It'd be a lot of text, but maybe we could move one of those things somewhere else, nest it at the top of the page. I'm just wondering-- I'm always going to the bottom of the page to look for it and getting confused.

Oh, sorry, I actually went there first and then reconsidered.
Moved.
