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.

That brings us to Customs and Ritual Practices. (This may be a better place to add the preference for real names that Java cat mentioned instead of in the General section. Remember? It's wayyy up there at the top of the previous post. Scroll. You'll find it.) We'll get started on that once we're done with General.

I'm not sure how to best direct the discussion about this. Or how to say the discussion has ended and we're moving on to the next section. I'm thinking I'll just let this sit here for a several hours and see what happens and at some point I'll ask for clarification with about what we've decided - make a final list for Jon - and move on to the next section. Sound OK?
Fixed.
You are freakishly efficient.

To put something resembling content in here, there seems to be 1322 registered Buffistas, now. Wow.
I think you meant to post those in COMM?
ooops, thanks Jon. Will move.

Is there any place we could accomodate spoilers for the unaired Wonderfalls episodes?
Would the spoiler thread citizens mind having them in there? Would we want to wait 'til after the Angel finale, so that people who don't want to be spoiled for Angel, but want to know what happens to Jaye, could get at least the bits of the spoilers that are out there?
Anyone?
You want a good blend of comedy and action, without a lot of backstory to confuse the new viewer.
I'm not sure if we even need this sentence anymore -- since new viewers are going to be either watching the show on FX or DVD, there's no reason not to start them with WTTH, is there?
Also, do we want to add a section on getting people hooked on Angel there? Firefly?
Only thing for me is, I wouldn't add the thing about names. As the person who brought it up (only in reminiscence, mind you) I feel really badly that it's had an impact on board behavior. I didn't mean for it to, I was only making an observation, and I think that our culture is different from TT's and there's no reason to arbitrarily preserve their mores. I don't want anyone who has a traditional (read: not real name) handle to feel like they're anything but a true Blue part of Buffistahood. Using real names is a practice that's counter to internet generalities, and I don't think it's something we specifically need to incorporate here.
