Seriously, Dude, Where's My Car?

To bring this back bureauracywards, do I guess from this that when we finish 'Dude, where's my precious?' we can simply move on to 'LotR 2: Seriously, Dude, where's my Precious?'

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Q. NAFDA? Is that an international Buffista treaty?
A. Ummm..... No. It's the North American Free Discussion Area. We have many posters who aren't from North America and are therefore half a season or more behind. In order to keep them unspoiled, we limit discussion of current episodes to specific threads. These are the NAFDA threads. If it's not labeled as a NAFDA thread, don't talk about current episodes in it.

Suggested addition:

We also ask that you don't discuss one show's current season in another show's topic without whitefont, because some people are on tape delay. This means that events from the current season of Buffy should be whitefonted in the Angel topic and vice versa.

Hey, if it's going to be a rule it oughta be written down...

Should we add something to the slugs?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I have a suggestion. For the F2F thread, perhaps you could put a descriptor that includes dates and city? Every once in awhile I wander in there and someone is asking again where and when it is.

Go to the top of the thread Deena. I added it to the thread description the other day.

Add what to which slugs?

Whitefonting AtS in Buffy, and Buffy in AtS, in those threads.

Oh, see, I read it from the beginning some time ago, but I was thinking there must be quite a few people who didn't, or have forgotten. And, if you've read it already, it doesn't start at the beginning, it starts where you left off, so if they don't know to go to the beginning... anyway, just a thought. It doesn't happen that often, I don't think.
