How about, November Party 2008??

That way, it's OFF-topic.

And anyone could join, whatever show they liked!

Chance to make new friends, and stuff..

We could still bring guests from any show.

Hmm...that's a good idea. If we don't specify "SpongeBob" in the title, then maybe it would be allowed as off topic.

Well, on one way it would work because it's not like we talked about SpongeBob at all on our parties, still it would be good to have some "spongyness" in them, even if it's at the Off-topic forum.

Even if we did have that, the mods would probably raid it, lock it, and TOS everybody.

And TOS some who take part. I've still got one TOS though. That's why I get nervous when I have a new PM but all of my contributions have been accepted/denied.

Just to clarify:

The Games Thread post here, saying that there is a limit of four games per forum, has been here since June 2007. It's not a new policy.

The Off-Topic discussion forum is intended for discussion, not random chatting/partying. That's not a new policy. It doesn't matter if it's show-specific or not.

Chat-type party threads not having to do with a show haven't been allowed at tv.com: that's not a new policy. Blogs = fine. Show forum = not fine

If the editor here wishes to create a more general discussion "lounge" thread, that's up to him. Only one is permitted per forum.

-----

As for "Off-Topic," the rules for that haven't changed since the site stated up. It can be kind of confusing, but here's a simple version. If you're in the Spongebob forum and...

what you're saying is about Spongebob = on-topic

what you're saying is personal and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about another show and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about Halloween and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about Christmas and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about Hanukkah and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about Arbor Day and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about tv.com policy and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

what you're saying is about what you can't say, and isn't about Spongebob or the show = off-topic

And so on.... The key words here are isn't about Spongebob or the show

It's complicated, but we have faith that folks here can work it out. Otherwise, to paraphrase Star Trek: "There's a million things you can talk about, and ten million things that you can't."

Personal stuff goes in personal blogs. That's why everyone hast hem. The moderators will be glad to answer questions about policy in About the Forums - Ask the Mods. If you want TV.com to change its long-standing policy or give certain users special treatment to go off-topic, you can post in TV.Com Ideas. -----

Hope that helps.
