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.

I'm a de-lurked lurker who would like to request a name alteration. I would like to change my screen name from "lwadams" to "lwa."
Thanks!
All set!
Hey, that natter thread is looking like it might turn over sometime soon.
Hmm, I have a dim memory that new thread titles was one of the functions of bureaucracy. Crazy.
I have no ideas whatsoever. Like if it were up to me, it'd be Natter 67: Rhymes with Eleven.
Too soon! We'll get bored and/or cranky with picking.
That said, I vote for Rhymes with Eleven.
We've talked about this on and off in F2F but never taken definitive action, so I've decided to be action-y. We've had a lot of vintage Buffista issues with procrastination and cat-herding over the years that sometimes have resulted in the need for last minute decisions about venues/dates for F2F. This has meant fewer people have been able to attend either because of prior commitments or expensive last-minute travel. October is delurking month, so I'd like to propose that November be F2F Pimpage month. I'd be happy to adjust the details, but this what I vaguely remember talking about in thread a few months back:
Proposal:
- November will be pimp-n-post phase for the coming year's F2F. During each November, people may propose a location in the appropriate region of the country based on our normal rotation, pimp its fine qualities, research possible venues for hotel rooms/prom (preferably the same venue for both or within walking distance), and suggest up to two possible dates in spring/summer for our official annual F2F. The date(s) for each location are completely up to the pimp-er's discretion.
- At the beginning of December, we will vote on the proposed location/date combo. If the pimper offered more than one possible date, we will hold a second vote to pick a final date for the winner. Once the date and venue has been set, the pimp-er will book the hotel so we can begin the process of raising the necessary money and making necessary investments in tickets, corsets, and sparkly tiaras.

I think that's the gist of what we'd talked about. It's a bit rough, but it's a start. Thoughts? Seconds?
I like it.
Second.
