Because they didn't want the crazed Movie people from TT invading it.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
On WX, the TT TV people wanted a movies forum, but we didn't want the TT Movies folder people to return, so the forum is called TT Ovies. I think it was originally supposed to be TT Ovies-may, but somewhere along the line, the pig latin was dropped.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It is called Ovies so we don't attract the typical movies crowd. (I say we, but I don't go there much anymore)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Or, in homage to TT: "We got the 'M' Back!"
BWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yes! To both the movies thread and the title.

I'm not entirely comfortable with a non-Buffista community reference as a thread title, but not enough to make a huge stink. Just enough to register it.

Up with the sun
I'm also not in love with Ovies, because of the having to explain it thing. Plus, I'd like a show reference, if we can find one.
