I like the slug as well.

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.

Thrive to spite them
Teppy---the first two seasons are available on dvd through amazon.ca and other Canadian websites. Season 3 will be out later this year.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I guess I'm alarmed at the apparent speed at which the changes appear to be occuring. the simple ones, no problem. But there are sub-communities that are being affected.
Although I know that the stompies are thoughtful and generous people, I fear that the alarm bells are sounding in at least the Due South thread and a rapid repourposing would only increase anxiety.
I propose a general discussion on renaming be given at least a few days breathing room before action is taken.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

This I like.

Not really a renaming, but a new name for a single combined thread. As far as I know, we're going to close the Farscape, Due South, and Smallville threads, and open a completely new thread, unless there is an overriding reason to keep one of the original threads, as there is with Bitchy Fic. And, yes, it most likely won't happen today.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Okay, I like that a lot. Well, plus capitalization, because I'm capitalization's bitch.
So we'd end up with:
Boxed Set! : FS, SV, dS, and Other TV Fandom
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Due South, and Smallville. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
How do people feel about that? (Edited to make the show order in the title and the slug the same.)
Maybe we can wait a day or two to actually go ahead and change things, so that we don't end up with people coming back and discovering topics gone without expecting it?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yeah, I like that too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's fine. I'm still a little itchy at 'and other TV fandom' though.

It's classy 'cause there's Latin in it...

Hee. Okay. There needs to be less punctuation, though, because it's making my eyes cross. Maybe we can dump the exclamation point?

Or, heck, even drop the abbreviations:
