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.

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.
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.
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.
I also think we should move the show threads. I would hate to crash in the next few weeks (knock on wood) and not have our show threads protected.
Thanks, ita, for getting things set up at PF.
Weighing in on PF. My preference is to move everything we now have at PF into the protected thread, including our name. If this involves copying the present folders, can we do that, and exclude the newest, non-"us" threads?
I hate to see us lose show threads, old natter-- or anything, really-- because of this unfortunate circumstance. I don't care if those superfluous threads are left in place, marooned, folder-less...hanging in space like a dead moon, blasted and...
oh. sorry.
I'd say move everything over except for the new threads just created in the last few days.
Oh, I don't know. Sports & Fitness could be interesting. Is chain smoking a sport?
OK, that Sports & Fitness thread is cracking me up. I have gone past the head-crushy realm of annoyance and anger and entered into a sort of a Twilight Zone.
Oh dearie.
How hard is moving threads on PF? 'Cause if someone wants to make me a host, I can start now. Moving all of ours, then deleting the old folder. (Burn it to the ground! Salt the earth!)
