I can't speak for anyone else but I'm hiding from people.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I understand that urge, but think it's going to be more trouble than anything else. I mean, we're still announcing the thread in Press, right? In Minearverse?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Mentioning the show in the slug isn't going to change that much.
Yes, it will -- part of what Google indexes on is proximity of words.

I know -- but not from people, which was Kristen's contention.
Also, I stand by the idea that we're not going to move up too many spots if Wonderfalls is in the slug -- the word spoilers isn't, after all.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Mostly it's the slug being discussed, Gar, not the title, AFAICT.

You're so cute when you're naive and full of hope.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Because the front page will come up for wonderfalls spoilers anyway.
Why? Because "wonderfalls" is in the Minearverse slug and "spoilers" is in other thread titles?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Give her time. She's only been on board for a little while.
