Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Your tag here.
I had a funny feeling this might have been discussed before, but I wanted to give my input on the issue. Plus, you know, can't be bothered to search and stuff.
You could try a "Random Dedication Generator" with things like "We talk about Buffy!" and "Tim Minear is a hottie, discuss.".
Or simply, "We talk a lot."
Or, fiat!
Not an easy subject to reach a consensus on, I'm sure, but as I've pointed out, as the weeks and months go by, the current dedication loses its relevance and accuracy. FWIW, I think we (can I use we? seems presumptious of me) should do "something". I'll leave it to the big kids in the group to decide what that is.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
We could just tweak it, instead of changing it. Like:
A community dedicated to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly, and discussion with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness.
Even though Change is, indeed, Evil.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A community dedicated to endless debates and discussions on every possible topic with humour, obsessiveness, intelligence, and did we mention obsessiveness?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Deena's suggestion would be so much better with the serial comma.
OMG we've never had the serial comma in there?! *plotzes*

Man, I *love* the idea of a Random Dedication Generator!

Our wings are not tired.
Man, I *love* the idea of a Random Dedication Generator!
Although, change is totally Evil, I love this idea. The thing is I never go to the Home Page and the random would make me want to do that.

The status is NOT quo.
Love the idea too.
Also, could a stompy make the shortcut links in my COMM post work, please? (edit: thanks, ita)
I'm barely on the board right now, but I snorted reaqlly loudly when I read Cindy's summary and had to preserve it.

Hmmm. Preservation. Maybe we should just add one or two words to the current header:
A community dedicated to discussions of the preservation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness. Read our FAQ, then join the fun.
Underlined is the new part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do we discuss preservation, though?
