FWIW, I do want this to be a fandom resource as much as a Buffista resource -- so if Am (or anyone else) wants to post it on her site, that's fine with me.
'Dirty Girls'
Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

If you want to do corrections, that's great. But I'll take care of the html since I want it to have the same code as the original FAQ. Please don't use Front Page. It's bloated and it'll be easier for me to code from plain text.
Um. Right. I was thinking to do corrections and then post it straight off, which I (being basically stupid) normally do with FrontPage. Are we then posting it at a Buffistas URL?
1) Elisabeth, the mythology faq looks terrific. I set aside my former objections to the separation. It looks like a great resource, and we'll be able to build on it.
2) If we do build a user filter, can we please consider NOT naming it marcie? I am not at all comfortable with applying the connotations from the show episode to our actions here. Are we trying to painfully alienate and ignore someone to the point of invisibility? Do we want filtered users to feel like Marcie? I don't think so, I think we're talking more about our personal comfort levels. So perhaps could we find a better name? I wasn't in on the original discussion, so apologies for not hitting the topic then.
3) I'm glad we hashed the hash, because we're a growing community, and we do need to consider and discuss our boundaries. There were valid points had by many, including connie and miracleman. However, I'm glad to see it looks like we're done rehashing, because as Buffistas we have other, snarkier things to be doing with our time. Like making this an environment we like being in, a community we all feel a part of. Isn't the goal of the etiquette guide and community standards to establish and maintain a comfortable place to be? Let's focus on that (and I don't mean all sunshine and roses, and I do mean leather pants and Sondheim) instead. So in that light...Welcome Newcomers!
4) Threadsuck is freaking great! Thanks a bundle Jon & ita. Just in time for my trip next week.
Are we then posting it at a Buffistas URL?
I think that makes the most sense.
Okay. I've got it as a .txt currently.
Steph, what's this extra section you said was missing?
Lyra Jane, thank you for your work - it's a lovely thing.
t nitpick
- In questions 1, 2 & 6, it should be "Becoming I"
- In the second question, may I suggest phrasing things a bit differently (for making the order of slayers as clear as possible), somehting along the lines of:
Kendra, who first appeard on "What's My Line, I" (S2) was called as a result of that death. When Kendra died on "Becoming I" (S2) Faith was called.
- Faith uses the phrase five-by-five in the first episode she appears in, "Faith, Hope and Trick".
I'm not even going to try to close the nitpick HTML-ing, I know it won't work.
Yay for threadsucking! But didn't we decide that that was a not-work-friendly name for it?
The technology's there.
The replacement name isn't.
Really? Threadsuck is up and running?
Why did we decide against "download"?
