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.

Up with the sun

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!

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

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.

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

But is there a problem that needs to be addressed? Tags have been kept community-acceptably spoiler-free for yonks. If there is going to be heightened sensitivity/requirements, then more detail is needed.

If a tag is thought too spoilery, it should be raised, just like a spoilery post should be called to attention. But that's not new.

Yeah, I don't think there's a problem with tags. People tag lines out of context, which does sometimes lead to a little moment of "Oh! So THAT's where that's from" for people who see the thing later, but I feel like as a community we're fine with that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, people have always tagged NAFDA shows the night the show airs (often changing tags mid-show). As long as the tags aren't spoily for plot/characters, they've always been kosher.
