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.

Just because it would be incredibly weird and quirkily Buffista, I propose that "weekend" in this case mean "whenever Nilly's Sabbath is done".
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 know! But I'm eeevil that way.

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.

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

Let alone people with a 12-hour time difference.
Could we do midnight Pacific time on the Saturday the week after the ep airs? For example, we could discuss this week's Buffy in the Angel thread on March 2, and as of right now the last episodes we could post about would be the 2/5 Angel and 2/4 Buffy. Plenty of time for tapes to make their way thru the mail, but not so much time as to cause major problems discussing crossovers and the like.
Oh, and superfluous nagging: when will we open the movies thread?

Oh, how I don't like this. It will make me still not to mention the shows in threads because I'll never be certain that it's safe.
We have a thread title. We have no slug or description.
I'm entirely not suggesting a vote, but I'm not writing them, nor creating the thread without them.
Okay, here's a quick shot at them.
Slug: Movies and Oscars and Foamies --oh my! The Buffistas go Hollywood.
Description: A place to talk about anything from the classics to current cinema, as well as the central spot for the Buffista Movie awards. And watch for the Mighty Oscar Watch-n-Post in March.
We should also work out (oh please god no more) whitefont rules for the Movies thread.
I vote we whitefont plot details until two weeks after wide release, like the Ovies forum does.
