'Him'
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.

I think the fact that Natter has been even more like a crack crazed beast than ever, and that Bitches is trying to copy it
Almost every time I check after being away for a while, there are more new posts in Bitches than in Natter (by between 10 and 50). This has been going on since about the 4th of July.
Bitches. It's the new Natter.
I think that there are also a lot of people like me-- I used to post a lot and read a lot. (was often one of the top two posters at WX). Now I have been forced to cut back on posting, but I don't actually read any less.
All sorts of options available. The Bronze dealt with server load by dumping data after 7 days, and Bronzers posted in a style like meara,
Polgara: I think Riley is such a tool, yo.
Leather Jacket: That may be true, but the thing is, Angel is totally gay.
Narrator: I'd like you if you weren't a stinkin' lawyer.
And so on, responding to several messages at once, with a self imposed flood control of four posts per hour. Works in linear, not so much in threaded.
Also, let's research who the chattiest people are and just ban them.

This actually opens a question for me.
On Table Talk (and a couple of other fora that work on the WX model), you have a 30-minute window to edit posts. Here, you can edit indefinitely -- I just went back to the start of this thread to check, and in theory I could edit posts from April 15.
Is there any database benefit to only allowing people to edit their posts for X amount of time? Or does that not make a difference with our software?
Quotas! it's all about quotas!

Um. Sitting right here.
Kat, you're banned. Also, I don't like how I always have to double back and make sure I spelled, "Consuela" correctly. Consuela, you too, you're banned.
Also, since the Bitches cannot shut up, I propose we move them off the server and onto a geocities guestbook page until they can learn the value of silence.
In addition to these changes, we should also implement a "no talking about anything that doesn't interest Allyson" plan.
Well. That was easy.
180 posted in the first 10 days of August
Okay, that's higher than I expected. Is there anyway of figuring out the largest number of posters we had at once?
The World According to Allyson is an ugly, ugly cilantro free place.
