I'd think the Spoiler community would be the best to decide when they are no longer needed.
I remember when the F2F thread was shut down in mid conversation, that sucked. Leave it up to the folks using the thread.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The spoiler thread is in a place, I think, like the Atlantic Canadians thread -- even though the formal use has expired, it has a secondary function.
This is a very low-volume function, and it may fade away all on its own. As is, it's having little impact on board capacity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, not to start trouble, but it has been more than six months since our frantic thread-closing/consolidation binge. If there's stuff that people are still (or newly) upset about, proposals could be made....

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
We could close ... no. We could open a thread about ... no.
Nah. I got nuttin.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It could be a thread about nothing...

The Seinfeld thread?
Would we all end up in Jail when it rolls over?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Would we all end up in Jail when it rolls over?
Just you and Sean. But then we'd take up a PayPal collection and bail you out.

Well, let's take up the collection and then see how we feel.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
If there's stuff that people are still (or newly) upset about, proposals could be made....
I don't think that even the people who thought closing the Spoilers Lite thread was a mistake are going to be agitating to bring it back now, somehow...
