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.

Lance says he can't delete the threads, because he doesn't like the precedent it sets -- they are in a "free for all" section of the site, after all.
He's suggested putting a disclaimer and re-pointer in the header -- I asked him if he could put it in each "real" thread, and also if he could remove "Buffistas" from the thread names.
No pointers, would be my wish. I'm all from removing our name from the folder header, and if you'd like to remove your picture, could that be done?
But I don't want to leave any breadcrumbs in those threads at all.
Yeah, I can see his no-delete position, but if he can change the name, then I don't think you need either the disclaimer or the pointer, really.
What Michele said. Just ask him to drop the word "Buffista".
I'm concerned that not everyone will know where we've moved.
If she follows and re-registers to avoid our blocks, he will then take action.
ita, I know you posted this once, but could you post the new PF link again?

I guess I see his point, but...feh. Not having that kind of control over "our" threads was why I always preferred WX.
Definitely remove "Buffistas" from the title, and also get rid of out Stors, if they're still there.

When we first set up Diaspora Natter, Lance offered us our own folder, much as what he's given us now, but we were already pretty settled in at WX so we declined.
