Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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.

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.

Also laughing because Hec is now stuck with "More Cowbell" for a very long time. And mine is an evil laugh.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

FAQ question. I am thinking of making a purchase on Amazon, and recall there was a way that would benefit B.org, but couldn't recall how. Would that be something useful to put in the funding section of the FAQ? Also. Um, how do you do it? Lastly, in the FAQ, at the bottom where you want to suggest something to add to the FAQ, it links you to Bureaucracy 1, which is closed.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

You go to Buffista Links on the left side of the page and click on Amazon under Affiliate Links.

Thanks Laga. I didn't poke enough over there on the left side.

So? Why are there 3 links to Amazon USA? The last 2 look identical. Could be the 3:30 am blurry vision thing.
