Dana - Thanks for those. I'll look them over ASAP.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Wow!
twirls in front of mirror.
I feel oddly like I've had a haircut. Thank you!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I prefer the non-filk etiquette page also.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PF update: I've created a Buffista member folder. We can control access to it. All the stompies (save Liese, because I don't know her PF ID) have been made hosts.
There's nothing in there now. Lance said he could move the other stuff over today -- we shall see.
Or we can start from scratch.

I'd say move everything over except for the new threads just created in the last few days.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I would definitely move Diaspora Natter in there. I have no strong feeling either way for the other threads.

Up with the sun
To me, the question isn't so much if we can edit the filk to accomodate new policies -- I know we can. It's if we want it to be the first place we send people curious about this site's policies and rules. I know I feel the shortened version is clearer and easier to use and understand. On an everyday basis, it's what we quote from when we're discussing our policies.
To give the filk its due, it may present a clearer picture of our very particular culture, and I think that's important. But I think this is a situation where clarity should trump cleverness. The filk, of course, will still be a click away.

Our wings are not tired.
I like the filk version. It is so very Buffista like.
On the moving stuff in PF, Natter for sure, I don't care about the other threads.

Although it pains me greatly to say it, as I was one of the instigators of the filk and absolutely love it to pieces, I agree with Lyra. I think the filk is important because it is so typical of our culture, but not everyone will get through it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I think Natter, Bitches, COMM and the Buffy and Angel threads should be moved to our member folder, and then we should delete the old Diaspora folder. If Zoe wants a blog, she's got her own webspagce.
