Thanks, MFNlaw. I will chill. For some reason, this issue has gotten under my skin.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Kristen, there were some citations of the Mustard Guy connection around that time, but I am chilling and will not bring them up.
Behold me, being chill.

Our wings are not tired.
The Sci-Fi Friday shows being discussed in Boxed Set works for detailed discussion all times except for W&P. This problem would be solved if all Buffistas would just move to the Right coast. This would also help for coordination of F2F activities.
Hey, it's a plan.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My perception of Boxed Set is that it gallops along as functionally as can be expected. (Certainly, talk about one show does not overwhelmingly dominate, as Lost came to do at times in Natter.) Since it ain't any more broke than anything else, and I'm anti new thread generally, I'm not a fan of the proposal.
Hey! Paperwork people! How goes that?

I second Laura's proposal, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's not summary dismissal of the proposal, it is a recognition that this is a frequent topic of argument-- expanding shows into their own threads and changing the definition of Boxed Set have both undergone incredible amounts of hand-wringing at different times.
As Laura said, the only problem is watch&post-- this does not warrant a new thread unless you really want to re-open the expansionist debate.

I'll second Gus's proposal. I'd love to see those threads.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm not trying to summarily dismiss the proposal either, and I'm not real thrilled to have my counter-argument labeled as such.
I like the Boxed Set thread. I consider it a subculture at this point. I don't want to see it split up.

I liked the subculture of Boxed Set back before it was combined with everything. Alas, that is no more.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
To me, having all of Sci-Fi Friday in one thread makes far more sense than the original Boxed Set combo, which was Farscape, Smallville, and Due South (all of which had their own subcultures, all of which more or less disappeared when they were combined). So the idea of splitting them all up again doesn't appeal to me.
