Also, I added a link the the NAFDA entry in the FAQ from the Etiquette page.
Off to have some dinner!

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, beautiful! Noticeable, but it no longer looks like the board is shouting.

emphasizing the [NAFDA] in colour is a great idea too!
Jon, I hear you on re-arranging the page that's already been settled. My logic is simply to make it as easy as possible for newbies to integrate nicely without misunderstandings and such. If I've just googled "timminearwantstobemyloveslave4evah" and come across the buffistas, I'm going to be itching to get into the discussions - little letters on the left and right won't distract me for long. Big suggestions about how to get started at the top of the page will hopefully catch my eye.
Not going to comment on the other 600 posts that preceded this (except to say I've never felt un-welcomed when I have posted, and my lack of posting is due to my own time constraints and general quietness. I'm a quiet gal in my other online communities mostly) - uh, where did this sentence start? oh yeah - but I just thought doing something mechanical to ease that process for the newfolks might pay off.
Now I do have to run off and do some of that work thing, feh. Thanks again for, you know, that listening thing.

More groundswell for Sophie's etiquette in the main board slug suggestion.

Our wings are not tired.
Opened up and noticed the bold NAFDA and popped in to see if it just changed and while I read the last few posts it changed to maroon. Like it. Even being here a while it is easy to forget what is NAFDA.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Hey, Jon -- can we make the logged-in items crosses maroon as well then? The red is a little off to me next to the maroon highlighting in the main area of the page.

Thanks for all the fish.
Where should I be seeing the slugs? It's not there when I look at my message centre, and not when I post, either.
Or am I just missing it entirely?
(edit) Dur - yeah, just missing it entirely. Sheesh. Maybe it does need to be flashing.

Oooh! Pretty. Kinda bummed I missed the board shouting though. Missed that. Missed the pink background. I have no timing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmmm, my first post wasn't until the second Buffy thread, Oct. 13, 1999, 11:30am PST. I didn't say anything embarrassing.

Thanks for all the fish.
I think that my second or third post was taunting about getting BtVS on Mondays. I suppose it's good to start as you mean to go on...
