Petition to change I Love Cooking to The Cheese Board

People don't enjoy the food threads?? I'm mystified by this. That thread about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich is among the funniest ie best threads i've ever read here. Rolling food lab is good also. I always enjoy the food threads. When i notice them, anyway.

another vote for changing it back, no harm no foul

leave the sub boards as they are, it helps sort stuff out in the SNA era (i.e. I can block NFL threadz)

xp honestly i like most people on ilx, really i do, but when a thread is about food opinions it becomes insufferable.

like there's literally nothing i care less about than randos talking about what they like to eat. i love cooking, as it is, at least requires that the poster prepares the food they're discussing.

hardly anyone used I Love Cooking, and you can still post about cooking there, the remittance is broader now that's all

cool, then ignore it like I do movie & tv threads! we all have different things we don't care about.

"descriptive and accurate" I was thinking we could change this! let a board shift.

I mean there will be more debate on this thread than there has been posting on I Love Cooking in a year

after a week in which we've had a huge discussion about how moribund ilx is, we should be changing more board names, not fewer

yes

also it's great to have beef about a cheese board, this mooves me

maybe change board name to "Beef about Cheese"

or also incorporate gun control threads & call it "Guns & Butter"

Buns & (ILX is in the) Gutter

"I Love (a rich, creamy) Consistency"

as the boradparents would have said: "all your (biscuit) base are belong to us"

"Pâté la bourgeoisie"

with a zing air on a rage emulsion

I changed the board name in a fit of enthusiasm because the requests were the first thing I saw when I woke up and I presumed that any controversy had been hashed out elsewhere (such as on I Love Cooking itself, which I don't read). I didn't realize that it was a pun. As a non-reader of ILC, I don't care either way what it's named or what it does. So once the people who have an interest in food topics have hashed everything out, we can absolutely change it back to I Love Cooking or change it forward to a newer and even better name.

In the past, I've been in favor of moving things off of ILE and into subboards. I was excited about the prospects for The Church when it started. I was a vocal propenent of giving all the soccer fans their own home far away from my eyes. And as recently as last week, I was seconding someone who suggested a separate I Love Politics board to get all the Brexit and Trump threads off of ILE. I Love Football has thrived on its own. The Church kinda didn't. Non-cooking food threads regularly get lots of participation on ILE. Will moving these discussions to a subboard improve them?

I agree with imago though, that change can be invigorating. So I'm eager to see where this goes.

As a non-reader of ILC, I don't care either way what it's named or what it does.

I guess this isn't true, because I AM a sometime reader of food threads on ILE.

Lol

You don't need to get explainy but it's cute

This is a minor insurrection and badly wanted imo let us fight it out

I always feel like subboards is where ile goes to die.

^^^this is the solution, anyone not using it as their landing page is a cheese-boarding surrender monkey imo

I Love Politics was me as well. Tastemaker

mark otm, you can set what boards to view in preferences, but if you want to see just topical threads, go to the board

I tend to have SNA showing everything other than ILM so my music browsing is just music. I’ve also excluded 77 from it in the past so I have that context switch to remember “this is private stuff”

everything else is just a good mix. more boards, I say!

Active sub-boards are good things because it’s easier to find threads that haven’t been updated in the last 48 hours or so that way. On Zing especially, I really enjoy the fact that ILS, ILG, etc can be visited separately and you can dig up threads from months ago and revive. Way better than search tbqh.

If moving threads wasn’t such a guaranteed means to fuck up the database and break links, I would gladly volunteer my time to help balkanize ILE into topic subboards if for no other purpose than to visit weeks-old food and movie threads on a whim.

* I Love My Neighborhood
* I Love Staying Fit
* I Love Posts You Had Second Thought About Etc.

Kinda dig that idea

Let's break up the states

I Love Breaking Up The States

In the SNA era and w zing esp I don’t get the moaning about maintaining the (boring old) name of a barely used board...unless the goal is vicious and petty character assassination, which is always welcome here

I mean do you know how annoying it is when the Netflix watch instantly thread rolls off of ILE, but I can still easily find basically all of I Like Computers and the Robin Wood thread from ILF

Think yer overstating the outrage there euler

I Love Mark S and His Posts and the Other Boards All Suck and So Do I
