Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I officially propose opening a Wonderfalls Spoilers Thread.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If the board is handling the volume, does that mean we'd be shutting down registrations for personal reasons?

For me? It's personal. I'm hand wringing. I like slow growth. This is too much and I'm not having fun. Which is all my own personal ish.

Seconding Jesse

Seconded, Jess. AND I WONT DO A TAKE BACK.

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

That wasn't even me!

But I third. Permanently.

Closing regs would be a significant change in our culture, and I wouldn't be inclined to set that precedent especially as it seems like the tide of attention is receding.

Okay then. I personally feel that 200 new members in a week will very likely lead to a significant change in board culture. Which is why I was advocating shutting down until we see how things pan out. But it seems like I'm in the minority so I'm shutting up now.

Also I'm not seconding/supporting.voting for a WF spoilers thread unless we can call it something that doesn't contain the "T" word, the "M" word or the "WF" word.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Because I think we probably should've/could've kept Spoilers Lite among other things.

And F2F, which we wound up opening back up a couple of months later anyway.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Seconding Jesse.

We'll just call it Lovesick Ass' Bitches.

I just think it's too late -- barn door, horse gone, etc.
