I agree with Hil and Jesse.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

Another social casualty...
As others have noted, "Jossverse..." is the de facto comics thread. Earlier today I posted about a non-Jossverse comic being released and felt comfortable doing so because of previous discussions. I think it is totally appropriate to change the title and slug to reflect the more generalized nature of the thread.
For a title I suggest (though it's probably too long): "The Jossverse in Other Media Ultra Super Size Edition! With special guest stars Marvel, DC, and many more!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not going to throw a huge shitfit about this, but I still think it's a bad idea.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm all for maintaining precedent, but this isn't really an official change, since there was never an official "limiting."
So: no change in status quo, no need to make it official, IMO.

Oh, natter. It just burst from my soul.

I agree. I think most of us agree. I just think we should vote on it, because I don't like the precedent it would set if we didn't.

Isn't it already there? Did we vote on any of the Wonderfalls related slug changes to Tim's thread?

What is even happening?
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.
Oh. I thought you meant sneaking with the whole idea, not voting vs. bullshitting. I don't care if we vote or not. I'm not proposing it officially, but I'll gladly second whomever does. Or I'll gladly chip in with the bullshitting. Either way, I am good.
What I (personally) am not good with, is us having a discussion so long and dragged out, that it would have been quicker to vote.

The Minearverse thing was just clarification -- the thread was always to discuss all of Tim's work. Wonderfalls is Tim's work. To me, the comparison would be wanting to discuss the Joss X-Files comics in the Jossverse thread.
