There is not now. The structure impedes it.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I refuse to have my proposal summarily dismissed.
And it won't be, but at least four(?) people must agree with you.
Speaking of proposals and subsequent voting, where does a body find this information? I wanted a refresher, but I can't find it in the FAQ, Etiquette, or How-to.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I couldn't find it in those locations either, but I have this marked: Nutty "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Apr 2, 2004 6:54:18 am PST

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey! Paperwork people! How goes that?

dcp's Nilly found the rule.
Four "seconds" are called for. If you think Battlestar Galactica and the new Stargate:Atlantis are worthy of discussion that can not be wedged into a watch-n-post in Boxed Sets, say "Aye".

You can do it. Hold down the shift key. Press 'A'. The 'y' and 'e' will flow forward as naturally as your first impulse toward independence.

Heh, Gus is feeling impatient.
I haven't seconded because I don't get those shows anymore, and I don't really mind following multiple topics in the same thread. I'll follow the proposal discussion with interest, and it might very well change my mind, but it would be wrong to second your proposal without already intending to vote "Aye."
I bet you get more response once the SG and BSG shows are done airing on the west coast.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
dcp, your bet is not playing out so well.
Here is an argument. Certain shows get feature prominence on Buffistas because they are out of the Whedonverse in some way. This is adhered to because of the history and genesis of the board.
A counter argument: The progenitors of the Whedonverse are moving on to other things. Some of those things are not what we think of as speculative fiction, and have less and less to do with the Whedonverse.
My assertion is that this board is about speculative fiction on TV. The shows I propose are the creative leaders in this arena. They are what we are about.

Gus, trying to get four people to second your proposal on a Friday night (or the weekend in general) is about as probable as removing cats, baseball and porn from the list of discussion topics.
Relax, and let this play out organically. Your enthusiasm may actually have the opposite effect you intended.
I do not watch either show so I cannot in good conscience second your proposal.

What shows? The only show thread we've added in recent times, that I can think of, is Lost. I didn't think the addition of that thread had anything to do with a Whedonverse connection.
