Lightbulbs should be open. I'll post something in Press.
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.
'Objects In Space'
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Jon is the thread man today.
Jon is the thread man.
Yes he's the thread man,
I am the walrus!
Goo goo G'joob!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Apparent gender changing man, as well...
(I know, it's totally wrong of me to apply archaic notions of gender identity to user names. Just call me old school...)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think font fixing might be needed for the second to last post in Bitches.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Done. Sorry for the lapse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jon pointed me back to the cheesebutt doc, and I had some notes:
Usage
I think that's a big factor. I'll change the code to disallow refreshes [of the message center] more frequent than every five minutes.
It's now ten.
Amazing Stompy Abilities
There are several local mailing lists run through our host. Currently these are: somervillains (general Boston area); bayarea (San Francisco area), laistas (Los Angeles) and baltimoreDCistas (The DC-Baltimore corridor). Ask in Bureaucracy if you think another local list is warranted, and the Stompies will create one. To subscribe to an existing list, send email to [listname]-help @ buffistas.org for instructions.
I'm not sure how close to this we are now.
Identity and Publicness
Everything you say on Buffistas.org or its affiliate diaspora (backup) boards, WX and Peoplesforum, speaks to the other Buffistas about you. Anything you say outside of this board and its affiliates is considered backchannel, and thus not germane to the board itself. (Consensus) This includes web sites, private email, chat, journals and blogs, and so forth.
The buffistas community on LJ is a weird grey ground -- does it deserve mention?
Spoiler Policies
Currently all non-M.E. TV talk is in Natter.
Except what is in Boxed Set. Good luck with explaining that consistently. The "this is not a general TV thread" idea is repeatedly bypassed.
LotR spoiler policy is only now relevant for the extended edition of RotK, and that should be noted lest it seem it's free game.
Threads
(Similarly, although it's been discussed several times, we have never yet formally proposed the dissolution of a thread or consolidation of several threads.)
No longer ...
I skipped the voting section since my brain is too sieve like to disagree with anything.
It is possible everyone's memory doesn't suck as much as mine does, but I'll be able to ask so many fewer dumb questions when it's formatted and approved and up and stuff.

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

I think the Buffistas community on LJ counts as "on-board" much as the Buffistas folder at PF does, so yes.
(That said, I can't think of any conversation that's ever been had there that didn't start "Hey, I can't get the board to load. Anyone else having problems?")

Every now and again someone stumbles onto it and posts a community announcement, but yeah. It's just never been mentioned officially as an offshoot of the b.org collective, and although there's a link from there to here, there's no text, you know?
We should officially embrace it.
