I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That having been said, I do not think that Beej was unduly piled on
After going back and looking (after I'd written saying otherwise) she definitely was not. I mean, like 20 posts passed before 'Suela said anything. And then another twenty before (Allyson?) and then a bunch before Deb. That's not the whole board coming down on you. And everyone made it clear that they were not irritated on behalf of anyone else.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So I volunteered to combine DX and Dana's recent FAQ update into a One Big Update.
I'll have lots of questions and need input.
First thing:
Before I've even gotten to the FAQ - I noticed that two things need to be changed on the Site Etiquette bulletted list.
I'm just gonna list what is wrong (for public disclosure and double checking purposes, I will make one big list eventually).
Spoiler Policy - Third bullet: Delete the last sentence that applies to Spoiler Lite threads.
Bureau - Tenth bullet: Link goes to Bureau 1. Should go to Bureau 2. (The link is to ask admin. questions and 1 is closed.)
edit: x post with BBaBB

Done and done.

Skimmed the Nilly'ed posts from/responding to Beej, and feeling some regret about not saying to her, "Hmm, you're bouncing around like a hyperactive bunny. Chill a bit, you're a bit too much." I've done it - that being too enthusiastic about something and alienating the people who were doing it to start with. It's hard. One means well. FWIW, she did offer to help at the F2F in concrete ways, which is a nice thing to do.
I meant to post this way earlier, that my experience as a newbie was that I took the admonitions to pay attention to the FAQ very seriously, and I studied it. When I had a question about anything, I'd read it again. I clicked on links. I read that thing many times over and it still didn't answer all my Qs. When I would go somewhere to ask a Q, folks would snipe at me to read the FAQ. In another universe, I'd offer to help on the FAQ, but, not another universe.
