  It's 4:20 somewhere.

  Media, IJBM/IJAM, Debate, Meatspace, Wonerposts, and Pony.

  I had considered Media. I'm not sure about the others.

  You have a shiny new category now!
  
  If it ever gets big enough, it will be split into more!

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  ...What about a sorta "general discussion"-type category?
  
  Like General but with less shitposting.
  
  (I don't know how good an idea this is)

  I was thinking that too. General would remain as-is, to avoid throwing things off too much.

  Now...what to call it?

  "Chatter", most likely.

  How about a >Debate topic?
  
  That way, if people have earnest questions, they can talk about them there.

  I'm not sure about that. It would need extra moderation, I know that.

  Oh, something needing extra moderation :3
  
  Well, I mean honestly, I was asking that in terms of your guys knowledge about road signs, like, lets say I wanted to ask questions about it?

  Just make a thread in General about it or something. The category has no set theme.

  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  "Anorak", perhaps?

  (Also, I don't think there needs to be a wonderpost category; it feels like it would be analogous to IJBM having a "complaints" category.)

  I know it's weird coming from me, but I don't think there's enough demand for that.

  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  That's probably true. Mostly it just seems like it'd be a fun category name.

  I pretty much had the same thought. Neat category name, but not a lot of use for it.

  I think anorak would be a cool topic, actually. Everyone could just talk about weird things they're obsessed with that they might not feel comfortable talking about else where.

  I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

  I have some ideas:

  • Liveblogs: Read the name.
  • Meta: Like Administrivia, but members can make threads in it. Threads that become crucial would be likely to be announced.

  I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but...would anyone actually do liveblogs here?

  I do the liveblog thing sometimes.

  Living tissue over endoskeleton.

  I think Anorak and Liveblogs could go together.

  I'm considering the "serious version of General" idea. It lacks a name, though.

  You could call it "General" and rename the existing "General" to "Trash Heap" or something...

  For topics that shittery wondershowzen and laid-backness isn't needed, for like, important topics?

  A category that would be best for topics weighing on your mind, yes.

  For the "serious version of General" idea...why not just call it "Talk"? Keep it simple, you know.

  OK, that's done.
  
  The Media category has also been renamed "General Media" and been moved into a parent category named "Media", with Artistic Pursuits.
