I figured we'd end up with a week's white font for network drama, 3 days white font for cable, and NAFDA for the other two categories.
OMG, you peeked at my ballot!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've got to say the experimental TV threads seem to be working.
And Natter doesn't seem to be suffering for it.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I agree, Hec. I've mostly been in network drama, which I personally like because I have teeny-tiny cable and haven't seen most cable shows. I'm really enjoying it. As I mentioned there, it's going to be difficult when Wilbur goes away. I've become attached. I'm not sure if it's the case, as I'm on vacation and may have more time to check, but it seems like Natter has slowed a bit. If so, I think this is a good thing, as it's still fun, but a tad more manageable. Or, I could be suffering delusions from actually seeing the sun.

I think the discussions of the various shows is actually improving because we've got more breathing room. I've noticed that the Non-Fiction thread has had several mentions of cross-pollination as people talk about shows others mention.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For technical reasons, we're going to be upgrading the hardware and OS that the board's running on. Jesse has confirmed that we have the funds to pay iStrata to do this, so now I want to go ahead and negotiate a downtime.
I've sent an email asking what hours they are able to do this, so we can find the least invasive time for it. But it has to be in about the next three weeks.

I love the Nonfiction thread. I don't worry at all about spoilage in non-plotty shows, and I'm really enjoying the conversations.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I like all of the new threads, even though I know the point of them is really not to keep them. The only problem I have is that I wish Network Drama was 24 hour whitefont.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i'm actually kind of wishing that too, sj. i only voted for whitefont in the cable thread, but i'm sensing a future issue with my not getting to see shows like GA on the night they air(because of all the other tv that night) are going to keep me out of the thread until i see them. it was much the same problem with me and Boxed Set when i wouldn't watch BSG or whatever when it aired.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm loving the comedy thread, as there's Office love, and love for other shows I've not checked out before which I probably will now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
but i'm sensing a future issue with my not getting to see shows like GA on the night they air(because of all the other tv that night) are going to keep me out of the thread until i see them.
Yeah. I immediately had to unsub from the Drama thread because I'm behind on House, and then from the Comedy thread because I was behind on Earl and Scrubs.
