That was one casting spoiler that was hard to miss. Especially if you watched the WB. They were advertising JM's addition to Angel before Buffy was even over.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I'm pretty sure the Torez spoiler was earlier than that

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Was it about Spike getting a soul? Because I googled "torez spoiler" and got this WX Buffy thread, which seems to be from S6, around "Wrecked": [link]

Art Crawl!!!
From the archive - Nora wondering (in Feb of 02) if the Torez spoiler has happened - and Victor saying that it had not yet.
So - Spike gets a soul? or Buffy dies?
Ha! retro-Buffista expost!

Well, reading further down - it does seem to be about Riley coming back. (Unless people were joking.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There was a whole Torez spoiler thread, and I am thinking now I remember it being "spoiled for Spike's status". And somehow I associate it with Betsy!
But I do not have the patience to look in the Buffista Attic at WX. Although the 5 minutes I just spent there made me nostalgic.

Was Torez someone here? Or some other site? I totally don't remember, and I was a total spoiler whore, so being spoiled meant nothing to me.

Torez was someone on WX who accidentally spoiled us in Buffy or Natter or one of those places where we kept really tight reigns on what could be talked about. But it was just an accident, he didn't know. I feel so lame that I remember all of this, and not the spoiler. Also, I feel like it was sort of the genesis of "spoilers lite"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I was spoiler avoidant in those days. Today I don't seek out spoilers either, but I also can never remember which shows have aired at certain times and which shows are in which threads, so I keep spoiling myself all the time now. But I don't really care, evidently.
For whatever reason things like non-fiction that really have something to be spoiled about I don't care.
