I think the "whatever happened to" questions have separate answers in mythology (m) and actuality (a). Where is Joyce? She died (m), or the actress wanted to spend more time with her husband (a). Where is Giles? He went back to England since Buffy needed time to mature on her own (m), or the actor went back to England to spend more time with his family (a). You could either give just the (m) answer, give both answers, or have a different FAQ for the (a) answers.

I don't think we want to split up the answers.

I'd rather stick to the mythology answers. I think most people can figure out on their own that Seth Green wanted to make movies or whatever. But if someone else wants to write out the actor answers, I could interpolate them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm kinda starting to wonder about creating a separate faq at all. Is ours already unmanageable that we wouldn't be able to tuck in some more basic show questions? Would it make it unusable for other people who don't care about our boards to have just the one?

In some ways I just like the thought that information about us the Buffistas and information about the show that made us a community can reside together. Hmm.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is Joss now a famous citizen?

Honestly? I'm a little wary of advertising that Joss Posts Here. Not my noblest impulse, I know, but there it is.

But Tim is okay. I'm not arguing one way or another, I was just wondering.

I'm not too emphatic about it either. It just worries me. A lot of fans know Joss's name but not Tim's, so including it would make us even higher-profile than we've been of late.
