The Minearverse: Joss Was Just a Gateway Drug
This.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I like
"Minear Death Experience" which says it all, really.
Any chance Tim himself might weigh in on the thread name.
Also, I wanted to suggest that someone email Joss with a link to or a copy of Nilly's posts about Firefly.

Oh just a question about voting. Back in horrible hostrocket days, we used to get two confirmations for a vote. An automated one as soon as we voted, and a second (I guess also automated) from the vote counter. Is that still the system? Because I only got the one confirmation - the automated one that is generated as soon as you vote.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
(I guess also automated)
Nope, not automated, and I don't think all vote counters did it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
and a second (I guess also automated) from the vote counter.
If previous vote counters were sending out confirmations, I didn't know about it. I had 99 votes when I left the house this morning.

Don't think it is really neccesary - especially if it is not automated. I just wanted to make sure not receiving did not mean there was something wrong. Now that it is confirmed that it is not a symptom of a problem, I'm fine with not receiving a second confirmation.

I had 99 votes when I left the house this morning.
Huh. I'm curious to know if this will be the issue that gets the most votes, compared to other things put for a vote.
If that makes no sense, blame my overtired undercaffeinated brain.

From very unreliable memory, I would swear we had some votes with much better turnout than 99. But we've had worse too.

I do like the "joss was a gateway drug" for the first thread, tho.
And Minearverse is a good one.
