And in terms of board usage, there have been 206 unique posters this month so far.

It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Re the refresh thing - I have mine at zero and just check "read new", but I only subscribe to five threads regularly (two more added at the moment, but one coming out until Elena gets back).
I'm stone ignorant about this, but I'm deducing (deducting? defibrillating?) that the more threads you subscribe to, the more useful the auto refresh is?

Aw Kristen, don't cry. We're all using read new. We've reset our refreshes to zero. I have my profile set to load 50 posts at a time. I'm going to change it to 75, now. We'll be all right. Any feed back on how much turning off the RQG helped us?
Or, to summarize Cindy's post
If you keep concising me up, you're going to have to get me flowers or candy or summat. :)

Aw Kristen, don't cry.
Actually, I am crying tears of joy right now.
For the reason why, y'all might want to wander over to Board.

Hey ita, is the change in refresh rate supposed to have gone through? It now says that the lower limit is 10 minutes, but the little number in the box is still 5, and I'm still refreshing after 5. (I'll change it manually if necessary, but I'm going to leave it alone for now.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Katie, your session needs to be expired and restarted for the change to take effect. So you may not see it until after a period of inactivity, or after you change anything in your profile manually.

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
When our Kristen cries
Let her know the board won't die-ie
Cause when our Kristen snarks
She's a candle in the dar-ark...

Ah, okay. Thanks.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I remember making a suggestion a few of months ago to have the Buffy quotes available like the BROQ, so that people can go sit at that generator and amuse themselves.
This was countered by people telling me "Why not sit at the message center and simply keep hitting 'refresh?'"
This may have been not-so-good advice in retrospect, and part of our hits issue. I know at least one person who actually did this. ...a lot.
Perhaps we could revisit the idea for those who just want the joy of reading buffy quotes at random. Maybe even adding a second button to the BROQ?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I would be averse to having birthday posts in Beep Me. Generally speaking, I am also okay if we informally limit ourselves to dark announcements of over a week or so. (Though I know I'm an offender too, in this respect.) It's a nice thing, because if we're frequently around, it's a good way for people to know we've not fallen off the earth or anything, but it's also something we could do on a smaller scale, letting the people we're closest to know, so if folks ask, they could pipe up.
I like Beep Me because it allows me to keep up on the major events in people's lives, even when I'm not in full natter mode.
