Things that are fair game really shouldn't be whitefonted, because that leads to madness.

Should we also avoid blackfonting any potentially funny or cute but not plot-related quotes from print/web interviews with cast & crew?

I should hope not.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What I gathered from his post was that there was something revealed in Safety Canary that shed light on the prior episodes.

Ahh, OK. I didn't read it that way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Question (and I hope it isn't an inappropriate one)...

CalGal claims that the people on TPW have purchased $150,000 (over 18 months) from links from her site and she gets some kind of commission from that. Does anyone know what the total is for buffistas?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone know what the total is for buffistas?

Speaking without all the info, but probably very little. Calgal markets their affiliate links very aggressively -- she posts ads in threads, and has content related ads in sidebars. Plus, I think, if you want to publish a link to Amazon, for instance, you can automatically TPWize it and have the affiliate code added to it.

If we took on an effort like that, it would be a shift in board culture, but it certainly seems a viable approach for applicable boards, if managed well.

That reminds me -- are we still doing okay financially?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yep, we're A-OK. I.e., have a year's worth of hosting money sitting in the bank.

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

Oh, no. Jon's right. I just meant that for each individual episode, on the rewatch, you know what the muses were really referring to.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Jon's right.

Oh - OK.

Can we add something to the FAQ about the spoiler policy for mostly-on-DVD shows (FF, Wonderfalls)? Also were we planning on addressing tags.. just wondering.

Addressing tags? In what fashion?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Tags that are spoilery, I would assume.
