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.

OK, I'm confused. We opened the LightBulb thread, then closed it again, because we're still discussing whether the pro-war-thread people have the right to move it to LightBulbs, and we're discussing it here?
Because LightBulbs is where discussion goes once it's been formally moved, and we think it shouldn't be moved, because it was already decided BC?

Yes.
Also, I made a proposal about the time limited discussion, which I thin has to be made before we can decide if the war thread can be discussed.
So, actually, it need to be opened again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The War thread proposal hasn't had enough seconds to be Lightbulbed.
The how-long-do-we-close-discussions-for proposal has 5 seconds, and Lightbulbs will be opening for that discussion tonight at midnight.
Right?

I'm really hesitant to start the discussion about the war thread now. The US officially started bombing yesterday. We have no idea how long it's going to go on or what's going to happen. I'd much rather leave it off for a little while, see what happens, then decide once we have some idea of how discussing the war in Natter and Bitches and wherever else actually works out.

John, lemme 'splain...no there is too much...lemme sum up. We haven't decided anything, I think. But Wolfram's motion still needs a fourth person to second before it can be moved over anyway.
We do, however, have a proposal on the table that has been seconded four times so we should probably reopen that thread and move the discussion of topic moratorium time limits there.

Thrive to spite them
God this is confusing.
How many seconds does it need for an issue to move to the Discussion thread? And if we get that many seconds then why do we have to wait until midnight?

Just to keep things neat with counting the days, I think.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

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
It should be opened now for Sophia's proposal. The war thread proposal a) hasn't received enough seconds and b) hasn't been determined to be valid or not, so it's still a going topic here.
