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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

We've had 60 new registrations over the last 24 hours.

Zap2It has a b.org ref in a featured article. Probably a contributing factor.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh yeah. They're all good so far. Just kind of a wake going on there, and people want to say their peace. I'm cool with that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I had a similar "throwing flowers on the grave" metaphor in my head. Nothing to worry about yet.

I just went to Zap2it's article, which quotes Tim's post (it's a headline on the main page. did you know he was a Buffy producer?). Should we post Tim's announcement in the same way we posted his letter?

Love that.

Also The Beagle Has Landed.

Yes, the new posters are very nice. And DX? nice job on posting the links to the FAQ & etiquette page. Good welcome wagon technique.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heh, given the influx, I may have to repost that pretty soon.

Any chance we can turn off bold type until some of the newbies get a little more acclimated? :)

What is even happening?

Should we post Tim's announcement in the same way we posted his letter?

I think this is a good idea.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thinking about how we're going to close the Quotable Buffy Thread, would it make any sense to have one all-purpose Quotable thread? I mean, all the shows we love are gone t sob , but do we still want a place for quotes? Another option (and this is an and/or question) is a general deathmatch thread for anything, show-related or not.

I guess each of these questions would take a vote, and we can't do that until next week, after the current vote is done, but does anyone have general thoughts about this?

I know we keep putting this off, but now does seem to be as good a time as any to have the "who are we/where are we going" discussion....
