When life is carefree and gay, it's all a big party
I first read this as "when life has caffiene and gay," which could be another board motto.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
what would you all like to do with it?
Once it's "final" my intention was to prettify it and have it in the board's FAQ section, on it's own page.

It's really nice that this isn't the "official" board for a show, you know?
God, yes.
Seconding Nutty's motion to dig out George and put him on display. Not in a Lenin way.

Awww, man, I miss the 11th Hour.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not in a Lenin way.
How about a Jeremy Bentham way, then?

The women's genre website? Yuppers. Majorly. A friend and I occasionally bat around the idea of reviving it, but then thankfully come to our senses. Someone should, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Matt can speak for me ANY time. His walk through history was awesome and I completely agree with his more recent post.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
OK. Jon, did you edit the text I originally sent you, or are you OK with my updating what I'd originally written? I'll need to take out or rewrite bits that have chagned due to time-passage, but it should be a quick thing to do.
So are we bullshit consensing that it doesn't mean to be ratified? I mean, basically, it's a bunch of links and summary, so NSM with the Jerry Maguire-style mission statement, but I wanted to check.
Also, where will this be linkable from? WHere will people find it when they're in the middle of a discussion?

You've got my bullshit. Consense. Vote thingie.

FAQ? Links?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Modifications to new ettiquette text:
- Maybe you've started posting, and you feel like you don't fit in. Maybe you think your posts are being ignored. The good news? Most of us feel like that at one time or another. Honestly. The bad news? There's probably no easy way to fix it. Some suggestions: remember that threads like Natter move very fast, and it's impossible for everyone to keep up with everything that's said there. Also remember that there are a boatload of threads, most of which have their own subcommunities, and many of which move at slower paces. No one person belongs to every section of the board, and no one person makes all the decisions. If you still have an issue, bring it to Bureaucracy, and we'll talk about it.
- We're a very independent group here. Because of this, we react badly to anything that comes across as preaching. We also react badly when told we should modify our behavior to accommodate someone or something. But there's more good news: it's entirely possible to have a disagreement with people on the board and still remain a member of the community. No one will kick you off the board for having a different opinion. Just think before you post.
Do we want a guacamole link? Do we have text for the FAQ guacamole citation?
