Thanks, Jon. I have so many closed threads I never bothered unsubscribing to that I couldn't see the bottom of the message center without scrolling down.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

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 only person on this board who has his or her "own" thread is Tim.
Could we try setting auto-refresh to 7 minutes, perhaps? It's a minor enough change that it won't drive the Katie Ms of the world crazy (will it?) but every little thing might help.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Um, fine, but I do have one, it isn't here (as I stated, it's in my own treehouse); mine is at peoplesforum, it's been there forever, it does have my name on it and what I was trying to reassure David - who is an occasional visitor to said thread - about is the fact that I don't numberslut there or here.
I'm not really certain where Tim's thread comes into that discussion.

If people have included themselves on the Buffista Calendar, then Nilly will announce their birthday when it's time.
The Buffista Calenwhat?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Which reminds me... I'm not even subscribed to Natter because I can't keep up. Would it be feasible for Nilly to post birthdays in Beep Me instead of Natter?

Seconding Deena's request. (I hadn't realised that she posted them in Natter, and was wondering why I kept missing them in Beep Me.) It would cut down on people posting happy birthdays in odd threads because that's where they first realised there was a birthday to post about.

Oh, you're probably all balanced out by my insane need to have it set at 75 per page
Hundred a page for me. I skip a lot.

Yes please.

I'd appreciate this too.
I have 50 messages per page, but I don't think that should be standard practice or anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This may be a side effect of me not caring that much about my birthday (and it's no in the calendar, for that reason), but I'd always envisioned Beep Me as being for important stuff, and not predictable stuff.

An awful lot of people don't regularly Natter, though. I'd like to see it in Beep Me or Press, or else I'd like to see a site calendar. Or hey - how about Nillytown, with an intitial announcement in Press that that's where the birthday reminders will appear?
