I have vivid memories of all the hubbub surrounding that spoiler, but I can never for the life of me remember what the spoiler actually was.
Yeah, I was totally spoiler-phobic back in the day but I've pretty much dropped caring about it. I don't go looking for them but I don't really care if I stumble upon them (mostly by way of forgetting not to read the whitefont, really.)
I was the world's biggest spoiler 'ho back in the BtVS/AtS days, but I don't really have a show anymore that has (1) the necessary arc/plottiness that makes spoilers worth caring about and (2) an online community of spoiler 'hos to share with.
I miss spoilers.
I am embarrassed to admit that, like Brenda, I remember the hub bub, the new thread, etc, but I don't remember the spoiler. I think it might have been that Buffy was alive? Or that Spike was getting a soul?

I occasionally look for LOST spoilers, but that's mostly because I have this misguided hope that the spoilers will help me make sense of what's recently aired.
I do remember getting accidentally spoiled by imdb about Warren's death (the actor was listed with an end date), and David very nicely lying to me and saying it must just be a mistake!
Wasn't it the Riley Returns spoiler?
Oh, is that all? No wonder I can never remember. (Not that it didn't have the potential to be explosive fandom-wise. Show-wise, dullsville.)
It still amazes me that in the first Buffy thread at Salon, before any of us posted there, someone posted the spoiler that Angel would get his soul back in "Becoming".

Heh - I remember that misdirect. I was a spoiler ho. It was fun, 'cuz that's mostly where I got to hang out with Le Nub.
