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.

SPN in Boxed Set, now.
Heh. That depends on how much "enough" is. I don't think I've seen a single show dominate a thread the way Heroes sometimes "took over" Boxed Set.
That would be for the board to decide. I figure this might (for instance) give the Bones viewers a chance to realize there are enough of them that they want to propose a thread. It'll be enough if it passes as a ballot measure. Some people might only vote in favor of adding a thread when there's clear domination. Others have a much lower threshhold.
I actually like how the threads are now, but I'm not spoiler averse and I am noticing that some people are absent.
SPN got another season, right? That's a show that needs its own thread.
Yes, it did.
I love the experimental tv threads. I'm going to miss them when they're gone.

I would squee like a thing that squees if that happened. (Doesn't necessarily means it has to, I guess, but...)
Count me in as also a fan of the new threads. I don't post a whole lot in them, but they're enjoyable to read, and I like having a place for shows like House and Bones.
Cable Drama is whitefont, isn't it? I've been wondering why that one hasn't had the same traffic.
Maybe just, fewer people get the premium channels.
The Experimental TV: Cable Drama thread is for non-premium channels. Premium Cable already has its own permanent thread.
I really like the experimental threads, because now I know where to go to look for discussion of particular shows. A flurry of posts in Nonfiction on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST means everyone's talking about Shear Genius, for instance.
I think they're working really well. For me, anyway.

Heh. There's also Eureka. And when SG? isn't sucking and hasn't been torrented by some...lots of traffic. BSG got lots of traffic too. I didn't count those, just Eureka, and it matched or exceeded Heroes.
It's a perception thing, with recency dominant.

Totally. Because for me? It's SPN that's dominated that thread since even before Heroes spun off.
Personally, I like the experimental threads the way they are. I'm mostly in drama, and I don't find any one show dominating, nor do I really see any show with enough conversation to really keep a thread going. I'd rather not have white font, but don't care enough to push strongly on that front, especially since I, too, have noticed people missing that I would otherwise expect to see.
I haven't spent much time in the other experimentals, so I don't have a good feel for how they're working, but I
love
the effect on Natter and Bitches. I can sort of, kind of keep up now. And even when I'm behind, I like having a better feel for whether to skip or slog.
Or, in short: Yeah Experimentals! Go Experimentals! Or rather, Stay Experimentals!
And I dislike the experimentals because the TV discussion where I wouldn't get spoiled has dwindled down to nothing. So I have less TV to talk about.
