@T Paradox: Well, sure, in terms of the actual topic, which is another strike against them imo.

I guess it is.

Hmm...I'm not really liking IBTA as I keep getting it in my head that all the topics posted there would try to be finishing the sentence that the title started. I guess we could make it work.

What if we made Yack Fest a forum for megathreads, renamed this forum to "Random Musings" or IBTA and made it our new general conversation forum?

Madrugada said that there are absolutely no plans to send the megathreads somewhere else. So I doubt they would make a forum specifically for non megathreads.

I suppose it'll happen whether Madrugada mandates it or not. Yack Fest is already known as "the place where megathreads go", and renaming IJAM will only cement that.

People are working just as hard to dispel the notion that YF is only for megathreads as they are to break IJAM's reputation as "sweetness and light or banhammer."

It won't happen, as long as there's a megathread for almost every common topic in YF. Make a topic that "duplicates" a megathread and people will ask why you didn't just post in the other thread.

Besides, if the crowner's any indication, we will soon have 2 general discussion forums. One is filled with megathreads and is stereotyped as such. The other won't be. As the two forums co-exist, the differences between them will grow.

Well the current crowner is just coming up with some names. It's not exactly deciding anything.

Without the entire name, my first thought about "IBTA" was Itty Bitty Titty Association...

The IB could be Impressively Big, if that makes you feel better, Sand.

If we use the letters IBTA I would rather it be arranged as IBAT. Of course, that could be construed as "Impressively Big And Tall"...which I would totally be for! It's a nonsense title for nonsense topics! XD And a perfect place for topics such as "I just ran out of pillows for my pillow fort! D:<" which is something that you really don't give much thought to but still irks your fancy.

At least no one has suggested Troper Tales as an alternative. That's just asking for trouble!

Well, as long as we're rearranging the intitals, why not BAIT? You know, like Thumped for taking troll bait. Feeding a troll. Bad idea.

If it does get renamed, it should be something that continues the IJ*M tradition. Since we've had IJAM and IJBM it should be IJCM somehow. "It's Just Contemplative, Man"? no, that's terrible.
