I look more rad than Lutheranism

I feel sort of bad about the fact that the new Boxed Set is just not the same for some of the people who were in it before The Change. I didn't start venturing in there until the new iteration came about, and I thoroughly enjoy it.

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?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

Thanks DX.

Yes. This is true, Steph. I didn't watch at all this season.
