Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

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.

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 get that, but will they come to discuss the show that's gone, or find a community for whatever new show strikes their fancy?

They'll be looking for places where there seems to be a common bond in that this is a community built on Buffy. I sort of anticipate the sort of groundswell that happened to the Beta when the UPN board closed. It was chaos for a wee bit.

Although, if the Beta stays open, I'm thinking that it will attract a lot more folks than Buffistas will. This is a more demanding board.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Time to plan some hazing rituals for the newbies. Suggestions?

They have to read every single post from B'cry 1 and then pass an essay quiz based on the answers they don't find.

Atlantic Canadian here. I think the only people I would discuss closing our thread with are other Atlantic Canadian posters and admin people. It shouldn't be a global discussion.

Okay there's hazing, and then there's torture.

Leave it to a lawyer to point out the difference.

Interesting. Why shouldn't it be a global discussion?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

sumi, spoilery.

Why shouldn't it be a global discussion?

There wasn't a global discussion about setting it up to set it up. We asked for it to be created at TT, it followed us to WX and was created here for continuity. Our thread is low traffic but important to us so we should have the right of self-determination to decide its fate, just like the posters to the Bitches thread.

While I'm opposed to closing it (separate culture, not really a show thread per se, lots of history), I don't think any subcommunity discussion should exclude the community at large. Period.

That goes for Bitches as well, or PPO.
