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?
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Do we get meatballs halfway through the thread? Lingonberries?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's not my thread, but what about something like Smallville/Farscape/due South 1: IKEA!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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.

Thrive to spite them
I don't like the Ikea name. I would like it to be something that would keep the thread "our" thread and not something that would turn into a general tv thread. Because that isn't supposed to happen. We're already being asked to change our subcommunities due to the vote of people who probably didn't have anything to do with our threads, please don't do anything that will take away more of who we are.

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
I am entirely too fond of lingonberries.
