Cordelia ,'Beneath You'
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.

As a relative newbie to the SV thread, and a non-reader of the other two, I'm not sure I count as a poster; but for the record, I'm not that happy that the combine-these-threads motion has passed, because I fear it means that I'll be dropping straight back out of the SV discussion on this board as it gets swamped in the rest. At the moment, I don't like either the IKEA or the smooshed-names thread titles.
Excuse me. I think I need to go and sit in the 'yes, I'm bitter, why do you ask?' corner.
Maybe Boxed Set: something else? Because I like the thread name, but what are we going to call it when we get to a second thread?
With the Boxed Set idea, we could have "Season One, Season Two," etc. as a way of numbering the threads.
One last time, I think we're supposed to stay clear of saying "other," "et al," and the like in the title, name, slug, and description.
we are in constant trouble with our service provider and 150% over on our server usage maximum
We are now at about 40% under, according to what Kristen posted here. It appears the Random Quote Generator was doing most of the damage. Unfortunately, we didn't know this until well after most of the votes were cast. (Please note that this is not to say that we should go hog wild creating new threads, just that the belt-tightening doesn't have to be quite so fervent at this point.)

Boxed Set 2?

Yes, and I know that. To clarify, I was responding to askye's point that everyone got to have a say on the fate of the three threads, and my point was, it was put up for a decision at a time when all those things were going on. Regardless, Kristen is still pretty pro-consolidation.

Deserves emphasis, especially because we're in summer vacation season with no new eps and more people on vacation than at other times.
Boxed Set 2?
I meant more like a Boxed Set Season Two: What creative phrase are we going to put here? kind of thing.
I'm all pro-consolidation, too, but since we are under 40% can we smooth out the transition a little more? Like have a stated date, preferrably the Friday after the US Labor Day holiday or so, that the threads will be consolidated, and reminding people of this at least once next week?
Just an idea, not a demand.
ETA: x posty with like minds.
Regardless, Kristen is still pretty pro-consolidation.
You bet your sweet bippy, I am.
