So, how's this? --
A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness. Study up on site etiquette, read our FAQ, then join the fun.
We could also put the links in the registration confirmation email.
Artless question: Do you participate in many online communities?
No. B.org was all new to me.
eta: none, this is still the only one. People keep saying, "there are other communities," and I've looked dulsitorily at others but haven't found any that don't have weird threads and restrictions on the # of posts per 15 minute period.
We could also put the links in the registration confirmation email.
THat's an excellent idea.
The registration confirmation e-mail is not HTML. Because it didn't work on HostRocket, IIRC. As a result, there were problems with wrapping URLs. As opposed to rapping Earls -- what's not to love? Anyhoo, extra links should be considered in that context.
Java -- I think what surprised you isn't actually anything new or different. So I don't know if it should be put in our documentation. It's just sort of a thing.
there were problems with wrapping URLs.
Hmmm.... You don't need the email to be HTML. Just put the links to the FAQ and Etiquette each on their own line (with an explanation above the links), and they should be short enough to not cause wrapping problems.
Yeah, that'll work.
I dislike the social capital concept. IMO it's a snotty concept used as an excuse/reason to be rude. I think a pecking order exists and social capital is just a euphamistic way of saying that. Why not just say it?
I think that's a good point, Java.
I don't see there's anything euphemistic about social capital. Calling it a pecking order (or a gazebo) won't change a thing.

Oh.
I think of this when people write the word maroon. (Wrote a paper on them once. Also, have flown over Cockpit Country. Otherworldly place. )
Am having a crap evening. Someone tell me to go home.
I think of Bugs Bunny.
