Minearverse is NAFDA, so I don't know why we wouldn't have black-fonted discussion (early airing of episodes in Canada aside).
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

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

The people you don't know would certainly end up in a Drive thread, Sean. Drive is about the only topic in there now.

And this. Frankly, the "there are people in there I don't know" issue is exactly why I'm opposed to single-show threads -- the more specific a thread's focus, the more likely it's going to attract people who never post anywhere else. Too far in that direction and we end up being just another WXing. A collection of forums instead of a community.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Totally agree with Jessica.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'd say nearly everybody who posts in Minearverse posts elsewhere, though, and the same is true for Lost. Don't read Heroes and VM (much) so can't comment on them.
