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.

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.

I agree that there should be at least some form of cross discussion allowed at some point. Sometimes the spoiler avoidance stuff gets out of hand, and I am one who hates to be spoiled. Yet you would think simply mentioning the FE in Angel would not be considered spoiling by now. But I gather that is not the case. Yet the FE's been known to have been around since, what, October?
Is anyone on a five month delay for watching the shows?

Yes, Unamericans. Who read Bureaucracy.

Thanks for fixing it Schmoker.
(I personally had already been spoilt on that particular issue by an Australian newspaper! Bastards. Although apart from that and one other thing that I read in whitefont in a moment of madness, I'm amazingly unspoilt for the coming season.)

Schmoker, Australians have just seen Episode 2 of Buffy Season 7, and we'll get Ep. 2 of Angel S4 tomorrow. The rule in threads that are not marked "NAFDA"--ie this thread, Natter, etc.--is that an episode is fair game after Australia has seen it.

I see now. But I'm still a little confused. If you don't get either show until months later, how does whitefonting Angel in Buffy, and vice-versa, help? Because we aren't whitefonting Buffy in Buffy, nor Angel in Angel, so if you go in there you are spoiled anyway. So what does it matter?

"Buffy" and "Angel" are NAFDA threads, and are marked as such in the front page. Which means that there are North American matters being discussed in them, so non-americans who enter there do so at their own risk.
Of course, there are a number of non-americans who get the eps. through hideous copyright-infringing technologies and post there regularly.
