Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

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!

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

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So whatever we call the WF Spoilers thread, the title will be a Googleable set of search terms for getting there. The slug, nsm.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Right, because people are linking to us like this: Wonderfalls Discussion. I don't *think* it actually matters that the search terms are on the page.

[eta: What I'm trying to get at is I don't think a sneaky title will actually hide us. If we get linked to by anyone as Wonderfalls spoilers, we're Googleable for those search terms.]

Thread Called Janet

Where we talk about the arc you didn't get to see. Please don't post asking for episodes. This is not the thread you're looking for.

For some reason that makes me smile.

Maybe a title involving the "'sode" line?

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

Bet it is scaring Tim too.

I don't live in his head, I wouldn't presume to know,

It does. The linking like that matters too, but so does the actual page content. (When google gets a hit that's based solely on links, the little blurb beneath the link on the google page will have just the beginning of the page. When the text is in the page, that'll be excerpted and bolded.)

Up with the sun

What Allyson said. Plus, he seems to be posting as often as ever...

(Which is kind of part of the problem, isn't it? Not him posting, but that when he posts he attracts a bunch more posts. We should steal his Internet connection. :-))
