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.

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

I'm on it.

I don't know how much conversation it's generating in Boxed Set, but I am madly in love with Pushing Daisies and want to talk about it.

I'm not quite ready to propose a thread without more info, so I thought I would ask Boxed Set folks if there's a lot of talk about it thereabouts.

I don't think that it's enough traffic to generate it's own thread. tonight's show only generated about 15 posts on the east coast. Perhaps a few more tomorrow or later EST (since it's not over on the west coast), but not enough for its own thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I agree with Vortex.

There's been a smidgen of white-fonted talk in Natter as well, FYI.

In addition, I thought we had an informal guideline to the effect that a show shouldn't be nominated for its own thread until it had a reasonable chance at longevity: a commitment through the end of the season, or a renewal for the next season.

(On the reasoning that board not called Brilliant But Cancelled.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

FWIW, Kristin, there aren't many other show talks going on there at the moment, except for perhaps Torchwood. You can just pop in on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Nobody's really discussing Bionic Woman there anymore if that's one of the shows you didn't want to get spoiled on. (Probably on account of the fact that it sucks royally.)

Art Crawl!!!

There isn't that much SGA talk in there either.

Random bits on Chuck and Reaper as well, but nothing really in depth.
