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.

especially now that we're in a new quotables thread (so it's at the bottom of the subscription list)
It's only at the bottom of the index page if there are no recent posts. Threads with the newest posts go at the top. If you're seeing it at the bottom -- that's your first sign that there's no deathmatching.
Yeah, but it comes up last if you use Read New.
I have no opinions on any current issues, by the way.
I thought that Read New would bring up the thread that had the most recent post, time-wise?

I must be forgetting the code. It used to be that recency determined the order things came up with Read New too.
I'll have to go look.
Really? Huh. I'm pretty sure that's not my experience. For instance, Un-American or Jossverse in Other Media consistently come up first for me if there are any new posts there.
There are occasionally notices and natter in Press that don't seem to fit the official Press definition, but it's only a minor irritation to me.
Natter in Press is stomped as a matter of policy.
Notices that don't find generally wind up with someone in here (usually someone for whom Press and Beep Me are the only places they check, so, old Buffistas with no time for the board) bringing up the irritation factor.

I'm not much around the other threads. Who are the old Buffistas not much around who have been irritated by it? Sincerely, because AFAIK, the people who have posted about being irritated are around a lot.

Me. I'm around here and some other right hand threads and I'm around Tim's thread. But I actually I don't have as much time to be around as I used to and I find the press announcements for death matches irritating.
Okay, because I didn't know that you weren't around a lot (though I also don't remember you mentioning the irritation before).

I used to be around a lot. I'm not now. I'm mainly here and in Tim's thread, except on show nights. Occasionally, I pop to the end of something if I get a moment. This is a short-term time thing, that should at some point clear up. But the last couple months have been frantic as all hell.
But the first time I remember someone popping in and mentioning the irritation with Press content (pre-Deathmatch, IIRC), it was Jengod. (And the content in question was the "so and so died" variety.)
