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.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

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

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

Another vote for "We named the dog 'Strider'."

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That is a good point. In that case, let's name the dog Strider.
