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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We need to determine names for the consolidated threads, most notably.
I can change the thread name and thread slug right now.
Archiving is being worked on.
Does that cover everything?

Okay -- names/slugs changed.

So, the consolidated threads are Smallville/Due South/Farscape and what else? I thought the PPO/Bitchy Fic combo was just being called Bitchy Fic?
I have a feeling from what I've read in Due South and from what I remember here that we will be a long time coming in a name for the thread. Maybe What Else Some of Us Watch? Cause, not cutesy and to the point. But unweildy.

To be honest, I don't remember. I also don't recall the latest consensus on the Sm/DS/FS consolidation.

Okay, this is what I propose:
1. In the PPO/Bitchy Fic consolidation combine and rename to Bitchy Fic.
2. For the DS/SV/FS thread: DS/SV/FS: Other Stuff That Some of Us Watch.
Undoubtedly the day time crew will have other (and better) ideas.
Could we put a deadline on this and say, by XX day, we'll have decided?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
So, what ever happened with combining those couple of threads?
It is good to follow up on these things. I can't believe all of us forgot about the vote of confidence in the 6-month moratorium.
I think that we also need a very concise table of votes saying the date, the item voted on and the result.
I agree. Just to be a reference tool for hardcore Bureau lawyers. The law-speak is a great history and summary for the rest of us. And it taught me the word "passim." (I thought Nilly said it meant bubblewrap! :) Are all the votes linked to in the law-speak document? That would be half the work done already.
The Buffistas have an Etiquette Guide. You know what, we have two, one in filk form.
I imagine I'm hearing Nutty's real-life conversational voice in sentences like this. Of course I've only ever heard her talk hopped up on helium, but I imagine her as one of those animated explainers who were my favorite teachers in college.

I'm for this.

There's been a spurt in new registrations the last 24 hours (6 users or so). Have we been namechecked somewhere?

Firefly movie confirmation may have attracted people to look for new Firefly threads. I wouldn't be very surprised if that caused a few new registrations.
