Okay I'm a little confused. Why are only some shows reflected on the poll? And why are we limited to 1 to 3 choices? Was this addressed in Lightbulb, because I seemed to have missed it?

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.

Lyra put up a list of shows, and asked people to add to it, if there was something missing, late last week, Wolfram. What is missing? Can you write it in?
Huh. I voted for one show I actually watch, and two that I thought deserved threads because I don't watch them and occasionally get mildly annoyed by the sheer amount of whitefont. Sorry if that was a misinterpretation of what we're supposed to be doing.
Susan, you and I were on the same wavelength anyway.

I guess I missed that, my bad. But I'm still not sure what the deal with only 3 shows is. I tried to write in a category of F/X shows (The Shield, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, Thief etc.) kinda like a block thread, but because I had already voted for 24, Alias, and Lost, I couldn't even do that.
Susan, I voted for two I watch, and one I think deserves a thread. I don't think that's a problem. This isn't going to open any threads. It's just to see what people think.
A technical question, unrelated to this subject (voting).
For some reason, b.org seems to have erased or forgotten my cookie. Any idea how I go about getting it back in place?

The three show maximum was Lyra Jane's call. You can write in shows, but you can't pick more than 3 shows (total from the list and write-ins).
Yeah, I understand the list isn't perfect. I felt like I gave people time to suggest more shows to include, plus there is write-in space.
Three is because it seemed like that was the largest number people would be remotely comfortable with adding at one time, and because no one seemed to object to the idea overmuch. I'm sorry if the feeling is I didn't solicit enough feedback on the poll -- it seemed to me like not many people were commenting in Lightbulb, so I just went with my draft.
And as for how to vote --there's only one on the list I would actually lobby for a thread for based on my personal taste, so my other two picks will be based on what seems to get a lot of discussion. Again, this is nonbinding, so we'll have time to talk about the results before we do anything.
Lyra Jane, when I have the results, which may not be until late on Thursday night, do you want me to send them to you, or just post them myself?
