Count me as a third (if needed).

Forthded!

Particularly since I watched Lost for the first time last night - 4 eps in a row. Wheeeeee, I love how you guys corrupt me. First time I have made time for televised entertainment in a while. So worth the time.

For what it's worth, I'll fifth the motion.

Lost is one of the few shows that's worth it to watch that is not included in some reality or crime/law genre. It stays interesting and the speculation on all the character's backstories and future plot twists could be endless.

If I'm fourthed, I should probably put a proposal on the table. The draft would be:

Based on the results of the poll, these are the two shows there seems to be sufficient interest to start a thread in. Any threads started under this vote will be closed if the show is cancelled, unless there is a unique and compelling reason to keep it open.

1. Should we start a thread for "Lost"?
_yes
_no
_abstain

2. Should we start a thread for "The O.C."
_yes
_no
_abstain

3. Should we close and archive the threads for Angel Spoilers, Angel Previously, and (once the deathmatches are done ) Angel Quotables to help make room for these threads?
_yes
_no
_abstain

Lyra - in question 3 on whether to close and archive certain threads, would you allow people to defend their answer? It seems it might be important since you say:

unless there is a unique and compelling reason to keep it open

(what I mean is - is there a way to defend the answer within the poll itself, or would a person have to come here to post their reason?)

I'm a bad Buffista - I can never keep the procedure straight. Do we have to have light-bulbs open again for X days to discuss before this goes to a vote? That's my recollection, but I don't know if what we've already done counts towards that.

Lightbulb is for arguing and defending votes, as well as helping to frame the ballot.

Edit: Moved my answer to beathen tto lightbulbs.

You know, I'm not sure myself. I tabled it last Thursday, and the original proposal would have gone to a vote on Friday by my reckoning. Personally, I would split the difference by keeping Lightbulbs open over the weekend to go to a vote on Monday, but I may be being impatient again.

I would do Lightbulbs again, just because the earlier discussion was broader. I didn't see people specifically talking about why they would or wouldn't support a Lost thread specifically.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm still fairly new to the board and wanted a little clarification.
