I feel sort of bad about the fact that Boxed Set is just not the same for some of the people who were in the separate threads before The Change. I didn't start venturing into any of them until they were combined into Boxed Set, which I thoroughly enjoy.
I like the way it is now, and I wouldn't want it to split. Nothing wrong with making the proposal, naturally, but it's not one I want to support.
I'm not sure whether that even needed to be said, but I felt odd being silent. I got no gripe - I just don't have a second for it.
Edited for clarity. I hope.

I don't even remember what it was like before the change -- wasn't it always the de facto -- yet unspoken -- thread for SGA and the other sci-fi/fantasy shows? Even though the thread slug said just Smallville, Farscape, and Due South?
I was there, at least intermittently, from the thread's inception, and I have no idea what "The Change" refers to. I'm honestly perplexed.
Oh, thank god. I thought it was just me.
I wasn't in the threads, so maybe I'm wrong. Didn't there used to be separate threads, and then Boxed Set combined them into one? That's what I meant. I edited my post; it was unclear. I made it sound like Boxed Set had changed. Boxed Set was the change.
Feel free to ignore that part. My main point is, I like it as it is now.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, back when we were worried about straining the server, Farscape, Smallville, and Due South got combined. But it morphed into the Stargate, Etc thread almost instantly.
poor poor Smallville, falling through the cracks.
Out of curiousity, how long after a proposal does the proposer get to procure her 4 people seconding?
paperwork people, look for an email from me either tomorrow or Monday.

Looking through old Bureau threads, Nutty "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" May 4, 2003 10:54:30 am PDT , we don't seem to have ever set a time limit for seconding proposals. However, we did set a time limit for seconding proposed sanctions against members (10 people must second within 48 hours), which seems to me sufficient time for any proposal.

Well, Smallville can only blame itself, for how it began to suck in the 2nd season.
