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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I oppose Hec's proliferation (mwah to Hec).

Mwah! Liese is the mwahfulest.

Of course you're wrong and we need to spread like a cancer!

Am I wrong in thinking that we have more resources since we made the last move and we don't have to be quite so tight on threads?

Because, it seems to me that deathmatching has proven its enduring appeal as an activity. And repurposing the threads doesn't seem as valuable as having threads which focus on-topicality. Its not like we said we were never adding a thread again, and deathmatches don't want to be in Natter.

All is well that ends in pizza.

This may have been addressed...

If we were to have a deathmatch thread, some mechanism should be in place to administrate it, should Elena be unwilling to pledge her eternal soul to keep doing the honors of keeping track...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A technical mechanism?

    I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

    inconspicious porn sites

    Snerk.

    Cocoa pebbles karaoke is just confusing.

    I appreciate the weirdness of this one. The karaoke cocoa pebbles are confusing.

    I *knew* we shouldn't have created the Karaoke/Breakfast Food thread!

    ....or the Musicals thread....

    how do i color the number one hundred

    I recommend with a sparkly crayon.

    Not likely, but now that you mention it, maybe a simple web page to keep track of the process for whoever administrates and for participants to see results in aggragate. The latter? not as important, as it might be labor intensive.

    I'm thinking of simplifying the process, not adding a layer of complexity.

    (and Elena, not telling you to "write down what you do so we can replace you.")

    If you want to submit it to the modifications list, you should mention it in the BBaBB thread so Am-Chau can add it to the list.
