No, ita, that's the text I'm responding to. And I think Ginger's text is fine phrasing, if necessary. I'm just generally uncomfortable with the concept. What is the line that's easy to use in conversation?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I shoulda just kept me mouth shut.
I'm not getting on your case for having (or voicing) the opinion, just worried that two people have a concern about something that may be posted and I can't see where.
It's hard to keep track of the latest version of anything in a thread, and I just want to make sure I'm on the same page.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Okay, now I get it. You're objecting to the untypable thing, but Burrell's not.
See? I didn't understand what was going on.
Now do.

Dammit. Mine only goes up to F0.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup. I was objecting to the real name thing first, but since that seems settled...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Would it be easier to make it two paragraphs to make a clean break; also to disguise the gentle suggestion with advice in how to get one's name changed if one so desires?
Buffistas tend to choose user names that can be easily used in conversation. Sometimes they are people's real names or nicknames; sometimes they are the names they always wished their parents had the sense to give them. You may feel cosmically drawn to the name @$sd_myxp12, but "What @$sd_myxp12 said" does not fall trippingly off the fingers.
To reduce confusion, please avoid the names of famous people, including ME writers, and the names of existing posters. For example, if your name is Tiffany and there is already a Tiffany on the board, pick a variation, whether it be TiffanyT or Breakfast.
If you desire a name change, mention it briefly in natter and if ita feels like it, she will remind you of a name and then change it for you.

Incidentally, remind me why we're nixing the NTSC/PAL info?
Because we took out the paragraph/links about buying eps of Buffy on tape entirely.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

DVDs also come in NTSC and PAL. (Most multi-region players will also switch between formats, so it's less of an issue, but it doesn't disappear entirely.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
DVDs also come in NTSC and PAL.
Within a particular region? I've always assumed that Region 1 was NTSC, Region 2 was PAL, etc.

I have no idea - I tought it only referred to tapes.
I'll change my edits to show that we keep it as is.
