Maybe we should leave off discussing where totally non-Jossverse, extended, OM (that's not comics) discussion should go until such a creature is more than hypothetical.
Like if a webcam channel was a recurring subject in Natter for a hundred or so posts spread over 6+ weeks?
And if that doesn't meet your definition... there's a chicken/egg issue. If I read this right, you'll only figure out where such a conversation goes when it already exists, but there appears to be some agreement that it's imposible to have that kind of long-term intensive conversation in Natter, so of course there aren't any examples of that happening.
Again, I don't object to the conversation about The Guild happening wherever it happens. I guess I object to the implication that it should be easy to figure out what goes where. If we're agreed that it's confusing and Byzantine, and that's Just The Way It is... fair enough.

No, I meant when the TN-JEOM(TNC)
topic
exists, not when the TN-JEOM(TNC)
discussion
exists. Assuming The Guild is JEOM. Sorry for the confusion.

I agree. It is, and it is.
The OM thread is for
other
media and it's no longer confined to the Jossverse, so I'm really confused by this conversation since about Brenda's post on.
Cindy, my impression was that it was unclear whether OM had been opened up as de facto thread for all
other
media, because the new, broader slug line may have been only supposed to reflect its metamorphosis from OM Jossversian thread, to OM Josversian thread plus general comics thread.
If I'm wrong and this thing needs no discussion, feel free to disregard my suggestion to not discuss it.

Sounds like a thread title to me.

Reserve it for Bureaucracy 5
For the next Music thread title, I vote for "Buffista Music IV: Excuse me! Would you mind stopping that damn noise?"
I second dcp's recommend (before any of the craxy - I say that with love - other suggestions come over from the music thread).
Aren't we supposed to consense in-thread?
No - the thread naming decisions usually happen here (because the stompies make the final call).
