Whitefont in Minearverse?
Hmm. Inside got non-whitefont in Minearverse, right? Wonderfalls its own thread.
It is definitely where the discussion belongs, unless a dedicated thread is created. But how has never been discussed, I think.
Oz is the highest-scoring person ever to fail to graduate.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's the Un-American thread. That's still around, right?
But if people who ahem/see it early want a thread to discuss it in, I'd be fine with whitefont in Minearverse.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think Inside and Wonderfalls were a different situation because they weren't going to be aired in the US, whereas this is, to me, more like the Canadian airings of Stargate or, in days of yore, Buffy, so, if it's in here, I'm saying whitefont, but UnAm would also work.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Woops - somehow my eyes had never seen UnAm. Rubbish eyes.

The Inside eps that did air in the US - weren't they discussed inthread in blackfont?
UnAmerican doesn't solve someone wanting to discuss non-Drive Timmishness, though, does it?

Question: what is the problem with having additional threads? More threads for individual shows and/or more groups?
What is the problem with thread proliferation? Is it a technical issue? Can the software and hosting site support it?

Speaking socially, imagine if all the SFF shows had their own threads. Supernatural fannishness might have grown slower, for one. Cross-pollination, which is a cool thing about group threads, would be harder.

Did they? I'm pretty sure it didn't all air, ita -- about 7 unaired episodes, which aired in the UK, which lead to online downloading.
Edit: I'm a dumbass who can't read.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Thread proliferation splinters the community - it's the main reason I tend to support "bucket" type threads like Boxed Set and Minearverse and oppose single-show threads (even for shows I watch).
Which is also why I'm in favor of broadening Premium, even if the details of how we do it will be tricky to hash out. Right now there are only 5 or 6 regular posters in there.
