Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

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

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

Moved.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

If there's an admin around, white-ing Suela's last post in Farscape might be a good idea.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Fixed, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Any thoughts about naming Natter 4?
