oh! I love "standabouters." It's a bit unwieldy, I'll admit, but when has wordiness ever deterred us from a good in-joke?
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

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.

How 'bout "extras?" Filling out the scene, but without any dialogue, yet. Instead of "delurking," we would say they "have lines!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yes, and then, when they "have lines", they hafta give us $1500 to be a "real" Buffista.

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
There's a lurvely post in Press that doesn't quite belong there.
May I suggest, "When come back, post here."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Totally going with "Natter 2 x (3+4): It could be mathier."
Not going for Aimée's fee for real Buffista (though I might pay...)

Returning abruptly to the Firefly thread naming: Like Vera. Want Vera.
Firefly 3: We call it Vera.or even just
Firefly 3: Vera.
Also like "standabouters". I was wondering about different words for 'lurker' myself, but the best I'd got was 'listener', which sounds very team-building-training, somehow.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
If it's in honor of Nilly, the mathier one ought to be saved for Natter 17.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Deena beat me to what I wanted to say. Natter 17 should be something along the lines of "Natter (4^2)+1--This one's for you, Nilly"

How about: observers, watchers, auditers, lookers, constant readers, party people, the silent majority, non-posters, or the wordless ones?

Thanks for all the fish.
How about: observers, watchers,
We could just call them Giles' and Wesleys.
