No more coathangers!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think that's our lowest turnout yet! But still made the minimum voter turnout. Having no dog in this race, may I suggest:

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cursing and Nudity Extra?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We probably don't want "nudity" as a googleable term, do we?

Also, work up a title, slug (main page info), & description (top of thread info). Include NAFDA info & whitefont rules if applicable. Allyson had a tentative thread title, yes?

I don't think Allyson had committed to a thread title. Though she liked the one I came up with earlier. Since she's offline at the moment, here are my suggestions.

TITLE: Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra

SLUG: Discussions of HBO and Showtime original programming. Deadwood, Entourage, Big Love, Brotherhood, Weeds, Dexter, etc.

DESCRIPTION: A topic for the discussion of all HBO and Showtime original programming. Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I copied this from Boxed Set, which doesn't seem to be NAFDA. This probably shouldn't be either.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I copied this from Boxed Set, which doesn't seem to be NAFDA. This probably shouldn't be either.

The proposal specifically said that the thread would be NAFDA.

Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra

Love this. Love.

I copied this from Boxed Set, which doesn't seem to be NAFDA.

It's got this in the header, which pretty much makes it NAFDA by default:

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

However, Boxed Set... DOESN'T have the NAFDA linky to the definition. Should it (and the new Premium Cable one as well)?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, why isn't Boxed Set NAFDA? From the FAQ:

Q. NAFDA? Is that an international Buffista treaty?

A. Ummm..... No. It's the North American Free Discussion Area. We have many posters who aren't from North America and are therefore half a season or more behind. In order to keep them unspoiled, we limit discussion of current episodes to specific threads. These are the NAFDA threads. If it's not labeled as a NAFDA thread, don't talk about current episodes in it. We also ask that you don't discuss one show's current season in another show's topic without whitefont, because some people are on tape delay. This means that events from the current season of Buffy should be whitefonted in the Angel topic and vice versa.
