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.

I was just thinking this, but was loath to propose yet another thread.

I'd be down with expanding J'verse.

It'd mean containing myself... but hey, worth a shot.

What is even happening?

Would the Jossverse in Other Media thread mainstays object to a redefinition of that thread? Is it a sub-community, or are there erm...problems about which I can't hypothesize because I know nothing about what I'm trying to discuss.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Would expanding a thread to include something new require a discussion and voting or could it be bullshit consensus?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'd be fine with a true consensus (vs. a bullshit one). That is, if no one objects, I don't think we need to vote.

Well, and here I had my heart set on a bullshit one.

Would we change the name? Jossverse in Other Media, Now With 33% More Comic Talk?

Jon, do you post there, much? If so, do you want to mention this discussion in the Jossverse thread?

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.

What do people think about either adding a comics thread, or expanding the Jossverse thread to include other comics?

It looks like it would be a popular topic considering the current discussion in Minearverse. I believe in reading some of this thread the last few days topic proliferation is a concern and since sadly I don't read Jossverse yet so I can't have an option yet on if more topics should be added there or not. (Adding a new thread to my message center every few days)

I think all five of us in that thread have been here.

There's a lot of other comics talk in there. Always has been.

Just things I am thinking.

J'verse already is a thread where non-Joss comics are discussed - frequently - this would just make it official.

It doesn't have a sub-community like some others have. Frequent posters, yes, but not really a sub-community.

Joss is about to write a 12-shot for X-Men. This should cause some amount of people to venture into non-Joss comics that haven't. So it seems like a good time to make it a general comics thread.

I'm sure all these points have already been made by now...
