All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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.

Are we running out of Stompies? Do we need to recruit?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think the main issue is having all the time zones covered. Perhaps if we could find someone to fill John H's shoes, but I think there are several East and West Coast stompies to cover victor and jengod.

BTW, let me thank those three for their lovely stomping, for stomping in all sorts of capacities, and for doing it with such well manicured feet.

Our wings are not tired.

If we are low on stompies I can pitch in. Emergency white font duty or whatever.

eta: DX, Jon and amych are same time zone as me, so probably not real helpful here.

10% is not enough! Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!

What does one need in a stompy? Knowledge of anything besides "how to spoiler font"? Obviously some trustworthiness. Being around a fair bit, helpful...but...??

I'd volunteer, but I suspect that after my job review in the next month, i'll be having to go daytime dark-gray, so...probably not a good plan.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

All of that's good. A fair amount of patience is essential, and the ability to differentiate between when to intervene and when to just let nature take its course when people are being idjits in the threads.

Frankly, the job entails very little, except for the really intense periods when it entails a Hell of a lot.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It's like that Kenny Rogers song, really.

Know when to walk away/know when to run?
