Yeah--post 9-11, being able to sort through things in Natter, with intense discussions intermixed with regular life natter, really felt right to me, and was personally helpful. Having the responses to that incident in their own thread probably would have kept me (or some folk) away, and I benefitted from sharing everyone's views. I think the same would be true if/when we go to war.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than 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.

Yeah! 'Cuz I just like being next to scrappy with the solidarity and she smells nice. Also, she's completely right. Our posts on 9/11 are amazing.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I am very much pro allowing discussion of "Angel" in the "Buffy" thread, and vice-versa. Even if there are no crossovers or the like, there are some thematic elements and plot developments in one series that I'd like tto be able to compare to what's going on in the other series.
I'd back a whitefont until the weekend rule.
I think this makes more sense than the two episode delay. It's easier to keep track of what's aired when, and if anyone has had a brilliant cross-series theory, it's less likely to be forgotten. I have to watch "Angel" on tape delay thanks to basketball, and personally, I'd have no trouble with a WUtW policy.

I also vote for whitefont until the weekend.

Count me in for the weekend thing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Not to add another choice to the mix-- but how about white fonting until the next episode aira? When I am on tape delay, I usually see it by the that time. If people are receiveing tapes in the mail, that should be enough time for them to get there. And usually games delayed for sports are shown within the space of a week, but may not be shown for the weekend.
I am also sick, and was just asleep since 6 pm last night, so I could be making no sense at all.
The funny thing about natter is that everyone seems to wish we could have the old style sustained conversations (which is why no one wants to interupt, I think)-- just some people think that can happen by not creating threads, and others by creating more. Weird.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Another vote for whitefonting until the weekend. Despite WB and UPN's best efforts, the shows have never been separate worlds. And now, even without spoilers, they look to getting much less separate .
I'm worried that the show threads may devolve into little other than watch-and-post "HOLY SHIT"s, with the analysis lost out of fear of saying the wrong thing in the wrong thread.
(And while I'm babbling, I know I've thrown a few taunts out since I started downloading, and I'm sorry to have annoyed people with them. I'll stop.)
