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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

it's confusing and Byzantine, and that's Just The Way It is.

Sounds like a thread title to me.

Sounds like a thread title to me.

Reserve it for Bureaucracy 5

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

For the next Music thread title, I vote for "Buffista Music IV: Excuse me! Would you mind stopping that damn noise?"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I second dcp's recommend (before any of the craxy - I say that with love - other suggestions come over from the music thread).

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Aren't we supposed to consense in-thread?

No - the thread naming decisions usually happen here (because the stompies make the final call).

I thought that was only for Natter and Bitches.

Hmmm. I thought it was for all threads. Now I'm not sure at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's here for all threads.

Don't know how that's played out in practice, but it was the intent.
