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.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

But the same goes for all the threads that migrated here from anywhere. PPO, Smallville, Spoilage, etc.
Again, I think that removing ACMM is out of the question, but I disagree with the notion of individual threads being removed from the community decision making process.
