I think some sort of waking thread might be a good idea. Gus is the first (to my knowledge) Buffista we've lost. And as Hec said, even though we might wish otherwise, we may have need of one again in the future.

I don't know what a thread to that effect might look like, but I think we should maybe have one.

Encomiums. Toasts. COMMs. Remembrances. I wasn't kidding about the battle royale. That'd be fun. Fuck, I'd feel entirely complimented in the afterlife if you had a Hecliments death match after I am demised.

I think open it for a specific time and date. Give everybody a chance to search the archives for favorite encounters and conversations. Leave it open for three days or so. A proper roaring wake. Then save it in the archive until such time...

I think a wake thread is a great idea. I've been getting all teary-eyed over the various posts in Bitches, Natter, and Goodbye-Good Riddance, but I'd like to have a more formal place to do it. One to go back to and find it all in one place.

Me too, Sail. I was always happy to see Gus posting and would love to share memories with everyone.

David, I hate like hell that we need such a thread, but it's a splendid idea, and I'm all for it.

I think it's a great idea, too.

I'm all for it.

Opening a thread to share our thoughts and memories of Gus is a fine idea. That, or seeing the memories scattered among the threads, either way works for me. I'd rather not do a lightbulbs vote thing though. Can we just go for a drunken consensus?

I consense with Laura.

Personally, I'd put the memorial in the Firefly thread, (because I'd want my own in the Buffy thread), but yes to No Lightbulb discussion/vote, regardless.

Laura is wise.
