To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

is there a way to defend the answer within the poll itself, or would a person have to come here to post their reason?

Besides, the unique and compelling reasons will probably arise when the in the thread itself when someone tries to quote it--such as an AtS vs. BtVS deathmatch. Hint, hint.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Our current header on the main page reads:

A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness.

None of those shows are airing new episodes. Is it possible to alter the header to something more accurate?

Something like "A community of people originally brought together by the Mutant Enemy shows Buffy, Angel and Firefly. Things outside of those shows are discussed here and future ME productions will be discussed here as well." Read the FAQ blah blah blah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would be for something along those lines.

Oh! Except it should be "read the How-To," not the FAQ.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It currently points to the FAQ. Maybe that should be changed to "how-to and FAQ."

But I like the idea.

I know. I am on a campaign to get that changed. The FAQ is fun, but can be overwhelming, and is not immediately useful to the new poster like the How-to is.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I tend to agree, Jesse.

Hey, I just noticed that the Buffy/Angel quotes have turned into Firefly quotes. Did we vote on this and I just missed it?

They haven't turned into, but they've been added to the mix, courtesy of Nilly. She may have submitted a bazillion, which means they're outcompeting the Buffy and Angel ones, which were rather few in number. There was no vote.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just noticed that the Buffy/Angel quotes have turned into Firefly quotes.

I'm getting Buffy/Angel quotes, but at a much lower rate than Firefly quotes (i.e., it was about 5 +/- 2 refreshes before I got a non-FF just now). I lurve FF and haven't seen them as much as the B/A ones, but still, the randomization seems not so random just now.
