Actually it's an acronym of Allyson's Shit I Didn't Say, but like in "AIFG" YSorFMV.

If I only had a brain...

Damn. I flashed on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and thought you were being witty about a thought that died a-borning. Never mind.

What is even happening?

Well and it kinda is, Betsy. My LJ is full of SIDS, but it's posted under the me-only setting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thanks, Jon. I haven't even been online for a thread-birthing since who knows when.

Be careful. He may make it pink.

Hiya...

I am a somewhat newbie who delurked a while ago and posts exceedingly rarely. Since I see people are working on the FAQ and site etiquette, can I make a suggestion that might make things easier for new people finding their way around the site?

treading gently

How about putting a link to the site etiquette in the slug at the top of the main page, (along with the FAQ link) - although the FAQ is fun and should be read, I sort of think the etiquette thing should be the very first thing a newbie reads about the site. It could potentially avert some of the more common guac incidents - spoilage in the wrong threads, uncomfortable lecturing type things.

And again, while you're fixing things...the spoiler policy set out in the site etiquette is actually a little to hard to get, for the person who is not familiar with the board.

Please keep all discussion of current episodes in the NAFDA threads. The UnAmerican thread is obviously a safe zone, but so are Natter and Buffista Bureaucracy.

The newbie won't know what NAFDA means, and won't know which threads are NAFDA. Yeah, it's explained in the FAQ...but maybe it should be clear for the newbie reader the first time through (and seriously, the FAQ is fun? But there's a lot of information in there, and there's some value in having the essentials summarized neatly for the avocado-phobic newbies who really just want to get along with everybody)

The spoiler flub seems to be most common type of guacamole incident. Just my thought, anyway.

Just one person's opinion, thanks for listening...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Maybe we should add to this

Please keep all discussion of current episodes in the NAFDA threads. The UnAmerican thread is obviously a safe zone, but so are Natter and Buffista Bureaucracy.

The following

Please keep all discussion of current episodes in the NAFDA (North American Free Discussion Area) threads. The UnAmerican thread is obviously a safe zone, but so are Natter and Buffista Bureaucracy. NAFDA threads are marked as such in the slug line. Example: [NAFDA] Discuss Current Episodes of Sarte v Go14 here.

Edited because free discussion is NOT free trade.
