Book ,'Serenity'
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.

Count me in for the weekend thing.
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.
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.)
I know it's a bit early, but I'd like to nominate a thread title:
"Good thinking, Natter 99."
:snerk:
(Yes, that's the first thing I've read on these pages that actually made me make a snerk-like noise, out loud and everything. I suppose it doesn't hurt that I just finished watching an episode, either.)
I'm fine with Angel and Buffy cross-discussion. But then, I would be, since I watch both of them first-run.
Regarding taunting, it drives me slightly crazy as well. Sometimes it makes me feel like the mood of the episode has been spoiled--the more people praise it, the higher my expectations might be raised. Or, you know, something like this.
(If you're extremely sensitive about the film Daredevil and/or the writer making up an opinion about said film for the sake of the joke and/or the word "fuck", avoid that link.)
As one of the people on a tape delay -- I'm for Buffy/Angel cross-discussion, too. I don't venture into either NAFDA thread until I've watched both, and I'm thousands of posts behind, anyway.
But bring Buffy/Angel discussion into, say, the Farscape thread, I'ma have to kick you in the head.
Also, because it was asked for a ways back: shooting script Mister Pointy.
I'm pro cross-discussion between the show threads, with a one-week delay. I think that eliminates the risk of spoiling for most tape-delayed posters, while still allowing most discussions to take place.
I'm neutral on the War thread. I think it would be an interesting thing to have, and that it would allow for more in-depth discussion than Natter does. But I can also see the argument that it's outside our scope. A mailing list may be the best solution, though I do think the discussion would lose something.
It's past the vote deadline for the movies thread -- could a Stompy create it? The majority vote-getter is "Buffista Movies 1: Who Doesn't Love Denzel?"
I've kind of come round to the anti-war-thread position, but not because we should stick to being a TV and popular culture board, as someone suggested...I think we stopped being that on September 11, 2001.
