Buffistas

This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

was most of the FotR natter on WX?

IIRC, we had the FotR thread on WX, and when we moved over here the timing just happened to be about right to start up TTT discussion. So this is the first time we've really had to think about thread closing/renaming/whatev.

Thanks for all the fish.

I don't think that we should just rename the thread (any thread, really). Was there a particular reason why we don't just let the current thread run its course?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

There is precedent for renaming a thread. Bitchy Fic went general, and is now Buffista Fic, for example.

I think it's just to keep the subject/thread agreement.

Thanks for all the fish.

Yeah, I know. And I never thought that was particularly fair to the PPO folk.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm in favor, though I don't care too much, of starting a new thread. I am strongly in favor of "Well, I'm back" for either new title or new thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd prefer a new thread because otherwise the current beautiful title disappears forever.

Oh, good point.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think it's also a pretty safe bet that we'd be needing a new thread in pretty short order, as I'm fairly certain that we'll talk enough after the rest of us have seen it to finish off this one. If that is or could influence anyone's opinion on the new vs. renaming issue.

Did TTT come out the same week in 2002 that RotK is due out (this coming week) in 2003? I only ask, because we opened the TTT thread on 12/16/02, and didn't have 3000 posts until 1/12/03 (so--about a month later). The TTT is now at about 7100 posts, I think.
