Edited to add. Yeah, the optimism pretty uncharacteristic, eh?
Nah, I think of you as a positive (if snarky) human. You're supposed to be though since you're teaching the world to sing (and play Geddy Lee basslines).
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Ha! Then I have you fooled, silly mortal! And also, I am currently teaching Krist Novoselic basslines, because, much easier. Furthermore, I propose that this thread be repurposed to be Liese and the Love We All Have For Her, and that all other threads be closed.
But to the point of the matter, I suppose I seem to feel that we should let things live a little and see how we breathe with them. As to the shows brought up, while I watch a few (Stargate) of them, I don't currently post about any of them. Anywhere, not just not here. Viewer and fan two different things, I suppose. But I'm open to seeing where the board wants to go.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think we've moved on from a community dedicated to the discussion of ME works, and into a community brought together by discussions of ME Works.
And that all seems simple to me, that things will evolve, we'll find new stuff to obsess over...like, um, girlie elves. But not me.
Subcommunities were starting to squick me when someone coined the term "Minearista" (i think that's what it was). But then I remembered that there are Bitches, and I'm not one of those, and that's a pretty large subcommunity all on its own.
There was a point! And I lost it due to nicotine withdrawal. I'm going outside to find my point, again.

Allyson. I said that, and I was kidding.
ETA: It was around the time that we had a huge influx of people coming just to Minearverse purely for the celebrity factor. I was somewhat poking fun at the phenomenom, is all.

I think subcommunities become factions when you aren't a part of the one you are talking about.
Cause, honestly, we have subcommunities, that have been codified and protected when other threads were consolidated that have people in them that I see oh-so-rarely. And I personally think it's great for them to have a space and yeah, more power to them.
So I'm not worried about it.
I love Liese's idea so much right now about just letting the board breathe for a bit.
I'm kinda bummed out that it hasn't even been a week and WHAM! we feel the need to discuss it in a post ME-TV world.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What Allyson said (except for the nicotine stuff).
Has the board ever gone through attrition phases? I think that we've reached a size where some waxing and waning is inevitable. But I'll bet we have fresh influxes with the Wonderfalls DVD release, the Big Damn Movie, Animated Buffy (if it really is going forward) and Harsh Mistress Moon. And I would bet that before all those things are over with we'll have found more things to fixate on and analyze and snark about.
So.... yeah, I'm perfectly happy to breathe and let things happen organically.

I'm good with the breathing. Will try to reign in paranoid sky is falling tendencies until chunks are coming towards my head.
