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.

I think publically changing the focus of that thread will lead to the same amount of increased traffic as opening a new thread, honestly.
Have you seen the Angel thread lately, or the Minearverse today? (That's not a flip question, nor am I ragging on the comic lovers. I'm just trying to state it plainly. The conversation is happening, it's just dispersed).
What if we don't change the name, or don't change the name much (i.e. The Jossverse and others in Other Media), and just add "and other comics" to the header and slug?
Popping to end of thread to assure all that votes are being received.
Resume.
Did we really allow the chick in FLORIDA to count our votes??

Indeed I have. I am for us having a comics thread. I just think we should go through the process, and not just slip it by.
How about something like:
"Other Realms"
Subheading: "Other Media such as Graphic Novels, etc., including Jossverse Comics."
EDIT;
For instance:
Other Realms 1: Rebirth isn't guaranteed.
As someone who hangs out in Jossverse, I'm really in favor of the thread repurposing. I was going to suggest it myself.
I'm really disliking the "Other Realms" name, though.
I'm with Tom. Welcome repurposing. Leave the title alone, and just change the slug.
I'm all for repurposing, but I'd rather go through the process. It doesn't take long, on this issue it'll probably be relatively painless, and I don't want to set a precedent of "We can ignore the process if it looks like it's something everyone wants to do." I know the repurposing isn't a huge change, but it is a change.

We've repurposed other threads without a vote. Buffy Quotable turned into a deathmatch thread, which extended but changed its original function. We would merely be making official what has always been a part of the Jossiverse thread culture.

Who knew there would be so many voters in favor of the all gay all nekkid thread?
