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

I agree with the idea, except originally we didn't discuss Firefly.
and change is Evil

Depends on what you consider the start of the board. I think the start is when we were discussing Jossverse shows. That start ended when Angel was cancelled. Which tucks Firefly in the origin quite neatly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In the Change Is Evil category: I'm sticking with my archeologist preference for leaving the dedication because there's more history and knowledge implicit in that, than mashing up some generic, covers-all-points menu description of who we are now.
In short, a Sphinx with no nose, buried up to its neck in sand tells us more about Egypt and its history than a nose-job excavated Sphinx.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So simple, so easy! Let's do that one.

Why is describing the past more important than describing the present? Would you ask all Egyptians to live the way they did when the Sphinx was built, to make archeology easier?
If that blurb has a use, I think it should have a use now. It is useful for it to also describe the past -- they're not mutually exclusive. We originally came together to talk about Joss stuff. We still do, plus other crap.

I vote for this.

Can we add Originally in spoiler font to satisfy both those that want change and those of us who believe in leaving the historical description intact?
Although, really still Evil.
