There's a new Artist Thread, too.
Can't we just whisk the Diaspora folder away? You know, like the tablecloth? And leave those threads behind?
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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.

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
What's really strange is she's not really doing anything ... nasty. She's creating kind of prosaic threads, not "Buffistas are fuckos!" threads.
I don't know if she thinks that she's got squatter's rights there or something.

It appears to me that she's creating threads with subject headers, trying to attract someone with any of those interests to talk to. And since "The Buffistas" aren't there (right now), she has "inherited" the "abandoned" folder.
Many apologies for punctuation abuse.
ETA- I don't think the concept of "backup" has occurred to her.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I strongly prefer the filk version on top. We run the risk of taking ourselves too seriously, and the filk avoids that. But as always, if the community rules, I will happily abide.
I think it's just that there were no doors to lock there. If I suddenly lost access to a board I posted on daily, I'd be running around looking for somewhere to leave my digital trail, too.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
She's also got our logo on her site now. Just FYI.

Our wings are not tired.
Jess, I know it is upsetting, but a)We can't really do anything about it and b)Do you really think her site gets much traffic?

I know, and no, Laura. And I'm sure we don't have any kind of legal rights to the logo (and even if we did, copyrighting images on the internet's pretty much a lost cause), I just hate seeing our name used that way.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Actually, we do have legal rights to the logo. Copyright basically goes like this: You made it, it's yours. It's just that such things are a huge pain in the ass to enforce.

I understand. Truly at this point it is just sad. The kind response is probably to ignore such cries for attention. t /mother

I'm getting a Single White Web site vibe out of this whole situation.
