Tracy ,'The Message'
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.

My sense is, the grandfather clause proposal made it to the lightning round next, so we do that next. We might then want to decide to make an exception for a potential war thread, but then we might not.
yes, this.
I don't even know how I meant the example, it was so long ago that that original list was made.
Has there been any consensus (YdefinitionofconsensusMV) on rearranging the threads and/or trimming the slugs? I haven't seen any dissent, but then again, it's a small topic drowning in a sea of much bigger and more controversial topics.
I'm against rearranging the sidebar because it makes sense to me the way it is. Announcements, administrativa, archives.
I'm sort of against rearranging, but thinking yes on brevity, to fit mroe things above the fold. (So to speak.)
But I need to cogitate on it further and also commute home.
What is the proposed re-arrangement again?
It makes sense to me that beep Me, COMM and Press go together as they are a Board Diet. Kafka, BBB, and Voting together. Nilly and Meijia and tapes together.

Works for me.
But Beep Me and Press are announcement threads, and COMM is an archive thread. If anything, When Come Back should be moved up with the other announcements.
[edit: Not a real suggestion, because When Come Back is so specialized, I don't think it deserves top o' the page priority]
I know that I speak for everyone here, including the monkeys, when I say that COMM is my reason for existence, the light of my declining days, and belongs at the top of the screen.
And anybody who says otherwise is WRONG. Wronger than a hot tub full of Henry Kissinger.
But Beep Me and Press are announcement threads, and COMM is an archive thread.
But Beep Me and Press are listed under Site Administration and they aren't really. It makes sense that grouping things by ease-of-use could work. As Sophia noted, if you could only drop by the board for ten minutes, Beep Me, Press and COMM are the three things you'd be most likely to hit.
I really don't care at all, but my logic is that people USE the reading of Beep Me, Press and COMM as a shortcut to catching up. People USE kafka, BBB, and vote for administrative/board issues. And people USE Nilly, Meijia and Tape to find things.
