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.

I do not like the idea of having discussion of the same thing in two places at one time, though
Yes.
There shouldn't be a choice. There should be a place, so people who are looking to talk know where the b.org talkers are.
Right now, I'm leaning towards a blackfont in the Firefly thread (all things Firefly -- people have been talking about the movie there, Cindy -- it's not just about the TV show right now), and closing of the Spoiler thread.
If you wanted to talk general Buffy but hadn't seen the latest ep -- yous stayed out of the show thread until you were prepared. This is much the same.
Whitefonting some seems like a conciliatory gesture (go team social lube), but is probably overdoing it.
Yeah, I think we ought to be able to talk about the movie straight-up and immediately in the Firefly thread. (Isn't that what we did for LotR?) Maybe with a nice big reminder on Thursday that as of Friday there will be movie discussion there and so people should unsub if they don't want to read it.
After reading through the discussion here, that sounds best to me. Natter for anticipatory squeeing, FF thread for full-on discussion, Spoilers for - well, catching up on earlier discussion I guess.
And talking about the show for people who haven't had a chance to see the movie yet goes where? Boxed Set?
Well, if they were behind an episode or six in a show thread, I think people just waited.
To sum, is this where we are now?--
Starting Friday, the regular FF thread will be all things
Firefly
+
Serenity
?
There'll be no white font, even for HSQ moments in the film?
(am personally quite good with this, but keep checking the url atop my screen, because I can't believe I'm here)
I guess I don't really care where the discussion goes. So, um, that's my vote.
Basically we treat
Serenity
just as we would a new episode of
Firefly.
It opens in North America and it's fair game. I don't want to futz around with various wf rules.
There'll be no white font, even for HSQ moments in the film?
For me, this is key. If you've seen the movie then you would understand that that it will be very difficult to discuss anything without mentioning one of the HSQ moments.
[aside to Cindy -- You should have come last night. Surprisingly, the theater wasn't even close to full. They were handing out tickets on the street outside!]
