Seconding Jesse
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

What is even happening?

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
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.

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

We'll just call it Lovesick Ass' Bitches.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

I'll second (or fifth or whatever) Jesse's suggestion, and also suggest that we call it Shhhhhh! (or something).

The only effect I'm seeing, really, is the Minearverse thread grown a'bulgent. They mostly seem to be playing over there. I expect it'll calm down and some people will stay and explore the other threads. It's not like we've had a rash of trolls and flaming.
