'Time Bomb'
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.

I picked "ticky box" because there was no "none of the above" option, and I wanted to be counted as a non-excluded-but-still-interested poster.
Ditto. Because my answers depend on the show, the type of show, my level of investment in the show, when the show airs, when in the season it is, etc.
Jessica is me
I picked Ticky Box because I don't feel excluded, so much as I feel that discussion/squee of a tv show can squelch discussion of anything else while it's going on.
Oh, I picked "ticky box" because there was no "none of the above" option, and I wanted to be counted as a non-excluded-but-still-interested poster.
Yes, this.
Yeah, it looks like most people who picked Ticky Box didn't pick another answer as well.
(And indeed, I did put it in there partly because I didn't put a "none of the above" or "something else" choice.)
Ticky Box! Because if I want to discuss a show I feel quite comfy discussing in Natter or a bucket thread. Although I would likely not jump in the middle of a deep discussion with random off topic comments. And yet I probably have done so on a number of occasions.
Laga, I never actually watched Rescue Me, so I was talking out of my ass on that one.

The response to how we watch TV (overwhelmingly "it varies") is why I'm hoping some kind of compromise can be reached. But I'm not really here. I'm grading papers. For reals.
To put my two cents in, I miss the TV talk in natter. I rarely ventured into the experimental threads, because I feel like I'm at the limit of the number of threads I can follow. And though it may defy logic, I'd rather have one long digressy, white-fonted flowly thread than several short choppy threads to read.
Also, I voted that I watched TV when something was on, which is true. But I later realized that it doesn't reflect how I use the threads and talk about TV here because many shows are ones that I see at different times that most, even being months behind.
Hey, is there a technical reason Lightbulbs hasn't been opened yet?
