Postingthem in Press all the time strikes me as somewhat iffy. Shouldn't that just be posted in the thread?
A once a month post is iffy? I think it's important that the thread not become a self-contained unit and that everyone be kept apprised of what's being read and what's being discussed.

I think the idea is that all Buffistas, whether they follow the thread regularly or not, are welcome to participate if they wish.
I think they can go to the thread to find that out. I'm kinda with Lee, but you know, not a world ending factor either way.

Huh? Unlike, say, Music? Or Boxed Set? Many of the threads are self-contained units.
I'm with Msbelle; not a world-ending factor either way.
I was kind of whatever either way on it, and then I realized that it would be very easy to not be interested in one book, unsub for a month, and then forget to re-sub. I sort of think that a once-monthly announcement would be helpful, the way that Mejias are helpful when discussing episodes.
Definitely not world ending for me either. I was just trying to find out if it was going to be a once a month post, or something more regular.
Nutty answered my second question before I posted, so it is retracted.
another thought. Am I right in remembering that they have set a 1 book/month guideline? If so, now that the first book has been selected, the date for the next book selection is pretty much set, yes? Like will book selection discussion always be on the X day of the month?
If so, couldn't that just be added to the header?
I managed to pop in and out of the show threads when all I wanted to read was day of and day after new airing comments. It's easily doable.
I think a once-a-month post in Press mentioning the new book is a great idea, for the reasons Nutty stated.

You mean the slug, right? If you're not subbed to the thread, you won't see it in your message center.
Discussion starting on a new book each 15th is not set in stone, as far as I can tell.
Actually I just posted something about that in the book thread. And regardless whether my idea is embraced, rejected, or ignored, I think we need to see how the one month thing works out before we set anything in stone like that.
