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.

Way condensed version of the Ikea thing: The Ikea thing is because someone in Light Bulb suggested something like a fannish TV thread to combine FS/SV/DS and Kat (the other Kat) said that the name made her think of Finnish TV and the Finnish made her think of Ikea. Other folks found it funny and thus was the Ikea idea born.
I think Ikea is hilarious, fwiw. But I never post or read in DS/FS/SV, and I can understand how others might find it a little too obscure.
Bev, PPO got maybe a post a month.
You're not really in any danger of increased slash in Fic as a result.
I'm unhappy about Farscape (which I don't watch, and therefore don't care or want to read about) merging with two threads I read daily.
Since the people who like "Ikea" seem to Really like Ikea, I propose we name the inaugural thread, at least, Ikea. The Ikeaists will likely be the heaviest users. Who's with me? Do I get secondses?
Please don't name it Ikea.
Sorry, askye. When I looked up the reference, I got your name instead of Jesse's. Not enough coffee yet.

Yup.
Who's with me? Do I get secondses?
Do we get meatballs halfway through the thread? Lingonberries?
It's not my thread, but what about something like Smallville/Farscape/due South 1: IKEA!
Not from me. And DS is the first thread I go to every day.
Okay, I'm way behind on the undesirability of a "general tv thread." What's bad about that? It seems the most effective way of reducing threads, to combine everything that isn't ME.
Not a facetious question. I must have missed that discussion, because it seems like an accepted undesirable outcome, and I don't remember why.
