I got the number wrong. But for about three minutes there (my husband can verify because I asked him if I was going blind), my thread list in Message Center was missing both Natter V and Natter 6.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.
Anya ,'Potential'

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.

Weird -- I thought it might have been that you scanned the list looking for the number '5' -- it took me a minute to find it, but I'm visual that way. Maybe there was a glitch where the html skipped a couple of lines.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For anyone interested, Buffista registration patterns.

Thanks, ita, that's interesting.

Is the beginning of that graph when the board was created or when we officially abandoned WX?

Official abandonment -- everyone had to reregister then, and the old testing posts were trashed.

Could we add some of the more common questions about Buffy to the FAQ? Someone in Previously just asked how old Buffy was (based on the error in "I Robot, You Jane"), and I feel like I've seen "How come no new slayer was called after Buffy's death in S5?" a few times.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
or could we put in a link to a good Buffy FAQ that already exists?

Perhaps a link to a good, basic Buffy info site?
Edit: x-post!
Also, I have a question: being Unamerican, I will (Goddesses and Gods, also Sky 1, permitting) see the first episode of season 7 next Thursday. I plan to read the old Buffista discussion of it, but if I want to air my views either that evening or that morning after, which thread is my best bet? Not all Unamericans will have seen it, so I'm guessing not the Unamerican thread, and it isn't quite previous enough to go straight to Previously. (I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here.)

The policy for UnAmerican is that if it's not aired in Australia, it's a spoiler -- they do catch up with you, I think, but I dismember. I think you can white font until then.
