Have we had any totally inappropriate thread proposals?
I thought Bitches was the Totally Inappropriate thread.
The Bay City Rollers, now that's music.

Bureaucracy 4: Like Job. No, really, just like Job
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a random question: Do we still need Meijaville in the right hand threads?
I mean, I guess it's not really taking up lots of space or anything, but...

Perhaps someone will volunteer to pick up the torch for Dollhouse?

Numerous times, and it's always an unequivocal yes.
Every time someone argues against a new thread based on server resources I claim that adding a thread, unless it draws a lot more active posters, will have no measurable effect on server load.
Am I right? I don't know. You'd really have to measure load on the server per thread to know for sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think at one point we were much closer to the technical limit of server load or whatever than we are now -- but I don't know if that's actually true. People who know stuff?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wait, I know this one. They're the luckiest people in the world, right?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Another thread is just another bit of the database - there's very little difference between having posts in Natter compared to, say, Bitches. Unless I'm wrong.

Our wings are not tired.

The server isn't the only resource that may be taxed. Is it more effort for our beloved stompies to maintain added threads? (Yes, I know I am usually pro new shiny threads)

The theory is that new threads inevitably create more posts.
