I think the idea is that we want the thread, but we really really don't want to come up when someone googles "wonderfalls spoilers."
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It also occurred to me that a spoiler thread is going to draw those seeking copies of the unaired episodes like a swarm of locusts.
But that is already happening. I was about to say it can't get much worse and then ... well, that will mean it will, so. I'll just stick with the first sentence.

That is why people want an obscure name, I think.
Could we have something about that in the thread header? E.g., Please do not post here looking for copies. Posts requesting copies will be edited or deleted.
(Or whatever --I'm not sure about the edit/deletia need.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As I understand it, Google works by counting words used in links. In sense-making terms: if enough people have linked to that thread as Minearverse, then "Minearverse," as a Google search term will point to that thread. (Which is how Googlehackers got "miserable failure" pointed to whitehouse.gov for however long that lasted.)
I'm guessing that we're the only people linking to that thread with the terms "Getting His Words Out"
So whatever we call the WF Spoilers thread, the title will be a Googleable set of search terms for getting there. The slug, nsm.

I would like to call the thread Janet. Or possibly Snowy Owl Love Killer. But the Janet makes me laugh. Every. Time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think it might concentrate that though, since the assumption will be that people in the thread have access. Which will make conversation just as difficult as it is in Minearverse. Although Lyra's suggestion (restricting the content to no requesting) has merit.

Google "wonderfalls discussion" and we're on page 3, just from the slug.

Who? moi??
I hate to be elitist, but Minearverse moves too quickly for me. I would love to know what Tim is working on, without the kerfluffle of Wonderfalls discussion, etc. Bet it is scaring Tim too.

But if it's something definitely associated with Wonderfalls, but not something used a whole lot (and no, I have no idea what that would be -- maybe a seldom-quoted line or something), it would still be googlable. For example, we're the only thing that google finds for "corsets flaming otters."
