Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If it's not too much effort, I'd like to keep seeing the sale thingies. I tend to forget that there are affiliate links. so it's nice to have the gentle poking periodically. And I like deals.
I am with -t on this.
Nice of you to do, Jesse, thanks.
And JenP also.

It's a quick scroll past and if it reminds me to use the affiliate link, well we all win really.

Can I get a Stompy to change me from Raquel to Raq? Pretty please?

Thanks Jon

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

Nice Raq, there.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Too bad we can't have little dots to click at the top of the posting box that would insert a box with the show we are writing about just above one's post.

SG1, SGA, Smallville, Due South, Farscape, BSG, Other, etc.

Then one could easily skip over posts that say [SGA], for example.

Just a musing, not an actual proposal at this time.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Actually, I don't think I like that idea. One of the things about this board is that you are forced to view, even just in passing, all the posts in a thread (except those of a poster you've blocked, of course). The posts on Stargate SG-1 actually helped get me into watching the show, and if I'd just read Boxed Set posts relating to Farscape, I'd have missed all that.

It's part of the community experience to have to scroll past stuff you don't think you're interested in; changing it the way you describe makes each post more of a blog post with tags, rather than part of an ongoing discussion with the other people in the thread.

Same view as 'Suela, and I have Boxed Set and posts about shows I didn't watch to thank for getting me to revisit Farscape. And get Spooks. And Dr. Who. All of which, love. Selfishly, I like the way it works right now.

So, is it going to be simply, "Building A Better Board 2", or a Betterer Board, or what? Was this decided on awhile ago?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
