As one of the architects of the spillover of HBO into movies, I am firmly in favor of such an entity should our bloviation be offensive and/or annoying to moviegoers.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'd love to have a discussion about something since it's been so long, but like ita says, it's a fairly beaten horse.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I thought the moratorium was 6 months. Not that it makes a difference in this case.

My feeling has been that a general TV thread would be nearly as difficult to navigate through as Natter. If there's a particular show that seems to be generating a lot of interest/posts, then propose a new thread for that show.

Poor horsie.
I was against the idea before, but I'm now leaning more towards it, especially if it were like boxed set (i.e. no whitefont required once it starts airing on the East Coast although I'd miss the surreal chunks of whitefont in natter if the convo definitively migrated to a GenTV thread).

I'd suggest an HBO thread, but there may not be enough general interest to support such an option.

Perhaps an HBO show thread?

Going by past experience, it might be better to propose a show-specific new thread. I think that the logistics (or non-logistics) of having a general tv thread have been hashed out so thoroughly, and one may always end up with a "no" vote, as both people who are against proliferation in general and people who don't see the logic of a general thread vote against it.
