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.

With all due respect, you should read the sidebar on that very page you linked to. The author themselves admits that nothing is solid until later this week.
As it is, my company did the post for the Wonder Falls pilot, and is bidding to do the post for the whole series, and we still do not know for sure. It was the subject of much discussion last week.
So, all respect to the Futon Critic, it is not a definite pickup.

I didn't hear it solely from Futon Critic.
FireflyFans.net: FOX has 13 episodes on order with hopes of more if the series is successful at attracting the targeted young female demographic that advertisers want.
TVRules.net: The network has ordered thirteen episodes of "Wonder Falls,"
which can be described as "Touched By A Crazy Person," according to Todd Holland and Bryan Fuller, the shows creators.
Hollywood Reporter via Yahoo's Reuters feed: Fox would up holding back one of this season's midseason drama orders -- the distinctive police series "Keen Eddie," which is now slated for a June premiere in the Tuesday 9 p.m. slot -- and last week it gave early series pickups to the serial "The O.C." and dramedy "Wonder Falls."
And in another story: Meanwhile, William Sadler (news) and Adam Scott, who guest-starred in the pilot of Fox's newly picked-up drama series "Wonder Falls," have been made regulars.
I understand that you are privy to information many are not, but I'm not the type to just pull something out of nowhere when I post. I had thought that with the numerous references from various sources to "Wonder Falls" being picked up, that it was indeed set to debut. Whatever. I was just trying to help, but I don't have time to follow the debates and voting process anymore anyway.
No Monique, you were trying to help, and I'm sorry I was snippy.
I need to doblerize.
Exemptions: Thread naming, disciplinary action against trolls (although the process itself could come up for a vote at some point) and tasks currently performed by Stompy Feet, including but not limited to board maintenance.
"I thought threads were exempt" etc
Thread creation does not fall under any of those exemptions. In fact, it was one of the things that we specifically said we
would
be voting on.
I'm not at all worried that a thread for Tim's new show wouldn't pass.
Me too. I think it's a gimme, so why not go ahead and honor the process. Even in the Senate on pro forma votes they do the votes.
So, can we get a clear definition of "board maintenance", for clarity?
Well, when I wrote that I sort of meant things that I didn't understand about technical things that made the board happen. Like say, this CVS thing.
Is that clear. Maybe someone who understands tech stuff should write a definition.
Huh.
That's development in my mind, but not maintenance. Maintenance (to me) is starting new threads when old ones roll over, resetting passwords, fixing slugs, whiting out shit.
Well, I meant that, too. The technical stuff that not every needs to be in on to do.
