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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't feel comfortable naming a thread after someone who left, frankly. And I love Cindy. But still.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, that should settle that.
Yep. Liked the surreality of it, but not that important.

Jess - There are currently no lists set up on our new server. Tom is working on getting that feature going again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Blame me. I'm supposed to set up the mailing lists, but I haven't done it yet.

That's cool; I should have realized that was why. Sorry to sound the alarm.
