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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh yeah, there'll be sad or poignant deaths, even if not funny ones.

We could update it as it happened, and it would be really, really funny.

Yes. I like it, too.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Hey, by the way, thank you to everyone who went and actually found those TT and WX conversations.

Our wings are not tired.

Count me among those who feel the GFC does not apply here. Also, I feel that the possibility of it being applied should have been discussed prior to the Light Bulb thread being opened and hundreds of posts being made.

Lovely thread name. My memory tells me that we had several fun suggestions at the time we were voting on creating the thread. When I am more alert I will search some.

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

fact that Wonderfalls' premise has been compared to Amélie

I didn't think of that while I was watching it, but it's very true!

And I like Wonderfalls 1, Body count 0, updated as necessary. (Though Touched By a Crazy Person has the appeal of being a Tim quote.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think any ballot that officially broadens the terms of the spoiler policy should include, if passed, the creation of a virgin thread.

That way, the spoiled, the semi-spoiled, the just a little spoiled on this one thing AND the unspoiled will all have a place to talk.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yes. I believe Le Nubian objected. In this thread, as a matter of fact.

Indeed she did.

WRT the new Tim thread: What is the official thread name? I think that Minearverse or something like it was suggested. Minearvana maybe?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Touched by a crazy person" isn't actually Tim's quote -- it's by one of the show's creators.

Is it? I though Tim said it here.

Ooh, that's where we should use "Tim Minear is a fluffy bunny."
