Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

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.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

(Paul, I wholeheartedly subscribe to that idea.)

So, about thread proliferation. Do we have a procedure for old, dead threads? Or do we not have any?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know if there's a reason they can't go on the Archives page.

And actually, I think that would be a BaBB question, maybe.

Thrive to spite them

I like the way Holli deals with old threads in TT TV on W/X, which is the only model I have for dead threads. People go to Bureacracy and suggest threads be archived or killed and then she posts in the threads that after so many days the threads will be archived or deleted and if anyone has objections they need to speak up.

Of course of there anyone can start a thread and there's lots of seasonal threads (Emmys, Golden Globes) and then the sitcoms that fail.

Personal I don't see the need for 1 thread per TV show, although I would like to see a general TV thread. I think there's enough Buffistas who watch the same tv shows or networks (Cartoon Network, Stargate, Alias, etc) to make it worth it. I know I see TV talk in variosu places.

I wouldn't object to a general TV thread. It doesn't have the same kind of spoiler issues that a movies thread would.

I do prefer that thread/no thread discussion continue here rather than using a poll. Thread expansion isn't just about the numbers - there are some things people feel very strongly pro or con, and I'd rather those viewpoints get heard and discussed than just totting up the number of folks who click a button.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You mean a NAFDA TV thread, then, right? Because current season info for non-ME shows is currently whited out in Natter.

Well I vote for an Alias thread especially after last night's episode, notwithstanding a general tv thread. If we're tallying up votes on this board does anyone else want a separate Alias thread?
