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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Are they? I thought that was not yet, but soon.

I may have skimmed some lately.

Nebber mind.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"We've replaced their normally 10K thread with a 30K one, let's watch what happens."

Our wings are not tired.

let's watch what happens

What happens is that the weight of the burden of choosing a worthy thread title has increased exponentially. Life after PuppyCam goes on and on and on. Also, sniff, there are so many sad little 1 threads that will never grow big enough to see a 2 in their names. Change is hard. It's a turvy-topsy world.

Because books.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I know! I squelched SPN 2 titles that weren't S2--if only I had known, I'd have encouraged all-seasons title suggestions. We're never going to make it out of #2, are we? Even with a whole fifth season.

Um, not that there's anything wrong with that. Just...change.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

What was the impetus behind the 30k, just out of curiosity?

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

Because we can. I mean, the reason for 10K no longer exists, and 30K seemed a fair tentative expansion. This will keep another table in the database a bit smaller.

Also, as a side effect, it will make any given search have a bit more scope, so things may be easier to find.

We'll still get a fair amount of turnover in Natter and Bitches for variety, and it might be nice to stick with the other thread names for a good long while.
