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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd prefer a new thread because otherwise the current beautiful title disappears forever.

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.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
New thread, and I favor "Well, I'm back" for sentmental reasons, but the "We named thedog Strider" is pretty damn funny and is more in the spirit of the first thread title.

We will have to change the blurb to "Aragorn is finally King, Legolas is still the prettiest, and Sam will still kill you if you try anything."

I like "Well, I'm back" - it both goes well with the "Return" word in RotK as well as having a meaning of its own.
