Kat started whitefonting, and she's definitely on this side of the country. I think it spiralled from there, but was hardly consistent. So any west coaster trying to stay unspoiled would have been out of luck.
Blame Kat.
I whitefonted because, WTF? Who knows what the rules are and I hate the navel gazing that goes with the discussion of "is this the correct rule?" So I decided to err on the side of whitefont vs. not.
Yeah. I'm doing a full episode guide for TI.org now, including all the guest stars yadadada.
I've picked up one interesting thing from IMDB about one of them.. (Which I'd picked up in the 'Questions asked' thing anyway).
I've mailed Tim to ask if he's okay with me reusing snipplets from here, if anybody is wondering. If there's any problem with it I'll remove it no questions asked.
Blame Kat.
It is all your fault. Or Nilly's. Sometimes I get confused.
If it says NAFDA in the slug/header, you don't need to whitefont if it's already been aired. Outside NAFDA threads, erring on white is good.
Slugs? Headers? People actually look at those? I just scroll past as quickly as possible.
But whatev. As often as someone has tried to explain NAFDA to me, it refuses to sink in. Thank god.
Do we cross-show-thread white font? If people mention "Lost" in here, should they white font, and if people mention "The Inside" in the "Lost" thread, should they white font?
OH! I know why the confusion. If everything is open game here, then why did we ever end up with a Wonderfalls Spoilers thread?
Because people had seen the WF unaired episodes before the dvd release.

I got nothing, then. Whitefont away.

Please let's have NAFDA mean NAFDA. Please. Simply -- if it's aired on the east coast, it's legit.
Wonderfalls spoilers was for those of you who got to see episodes that never aired, long before the DVDs were released.
I found the NAFDA explanation, which answered my own question: [link]
We do cross-show-thread white font.

Everything
aired.
Spoilers still exist, but the rules are just like those for a Buffy thread, but for all shows.
