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.

In general, I tend to think that bucket threads are more interesting than single show ones. Maybe that's because I don't worry about getting "spoiled" for a show that has aired but I haven't seen. And I'm fine with skipping over conversation about shows I don't watch.
I'm not particularly in favor of combining Premium with the FX shows mainly because I don't watch the Premium shows, and in fact kind of disliked a couple of them. But that's just my personal ish, it's not really a valid reason to not expand the thread if that's what folks want. I'd probably peek in, if only for the FX shows.
Go away for a weekend, and look what happens. Just so it's clear, I'm not exactly standing where the general TV thread is, I just thought it was looking like the only reasonable way to go. However, after hearing some of the arguments against simply a "drama" thread, versus somewhat more clear delineation, I would say a white-fonted general TV would only be better than natter because there's less natter, and that in-depth discussion would probably be lost in the white font. It would be a visually interesting thread to skim through, though.
As a spoiler-ho (or at least spoiler indifferent), just about any combination of shows works for me. I'd just like to see some more in-depth discussion as opposed to what we generally get in natter.
I didn't even realise TV was allowed in Natter until I saw it mentioned here. But then, I am 34% stupid.
You know, I had presumed that
Drive
would of course be black-font discussed in Minearverse, and was intending to subscribe back to that thread when the show started if I found it met my discussion-needed needs.
Minearverse is NAFDA, so I don't know why we wouldn't have black-fonted discussion (early airing of episodes in Canada aside).
Yes. I thought the question was re: the early Canadian airing
I'm hoping Drive generates enough traffic and lasts long enough to get its own thread. I really don't like going in Minearverse. There's a bunch of people in there I don't know, and I can't follow what they're talking about most of the time.

Unless Tim has multiple shows airing at once, Drive is going to be pretty much the sole topic in Minearverse for the duration of the run. What reason would there be for moving it out?
But, given history, it would be more prudent, at this point, to wait and see, I think.
My recollection is that when there's actually a show on the air to talk about, the unrelated chatter in Minearverse dies down.
