And add something to the FAQ or the slug, in the event that new people who were not a part of the discussion make the first post.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Also, does WUTW mean Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday?
How about the end of the week, board time? i.e., after midnight Eastern time Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Just because it would be incredibly weird and quirkily Buffista, I propose that "weekend" in this case mean "whenever Nilly's Sabbath is done".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think "until the next episode airs" will be easier for people to keep track of.

That does have a certain coolness to it, amych. I'm not really involved with this discussion, though.

What about the hiatus times, like we're on on Angel right now?

You know what's even quirkier about it? That it'll be a different hour every week!
I agree with the 'no War Thread' group, from all the reasons stated above. I know that it sometimes feel wrong to post 'serious' posts in the middle of fun natter, but I also feel pretty sure that if this is what is on my mind and is important to me, that's the treatment the post will get from the Buffistas. I'm always reluctant to mention the (quite terrible) political situation in Israel in here, not because I don't trust the conversation to flow, but because it is pretty much a 'safe haven' for me, with people who don't have to face these things daily. However, each time I (or others) have mentioned it, I was assured that I wasn't 'bringing the board down' and 'depressing everybody', but getting the opportunity to share these feelings and thoughts with others, with you guys - and isn't that what natter is all about?
I'm babbling and I lost my point.

I kind of assumed you know, but I wanted to expose your evil ways to the general public. I mean, most people in Israel who don't observe the sabbath can't keep up with its schedule. t /natter

I think we use the regular airtime, no matter if new eps are airing. Or maybe the next morning, so we don't have to worry about timezones. (I'm not married to the idea, but since we all already think in terms of show airtimes anyway in those threads, it seems simpler than "the weekend.")
