Yeah, and I think that a watch-and-post thread, that is not also used for discussion, would look really silly, like so:
Guh!
BWAH!
WESLEY!!!
I cannot believe he just said that!
OMG!!
What did he say?
"Got a sweet fang, have we"? sure to be xposty.
"Got a sweet fang?"
"Got a sweet fang have we?" t edit xpost!
Cool!
...and so on. Sort of dadaist, but not altogether substantial.
Maybe we east coasters should give up watch and post for a week or two for the west coasters. Then, of course we wouldn't really be able to do any discussion without waiting until the middle of the night, so that would really suck.
Left coasters should either move or subscribe to EST satellite feed. OK, so not the best idea. Or we could tape and not watch until 11 - sure, I'll promise to do that sometime. Hee.
In other words, I got nothin' in the way of good suggestions for this.
As a west coast gal, I like the idea of watch & post in theory, but it seems too unweildy.
Could the West Coasters set up a regular IRC chat that would allow them to watch & post, and then archive that into a web page?
Last night msbelle and I watched Angel on tape together at 10 and chatted on AIM about it. People could do that, too.

Instead of this, they could go over to the NAFDA Diaspora thread over at peoples forum, or we could reopen the WX NAFDA forum for west coast post-n-watch parties.
I don't think there's any win (excuse my language, I'm posting from a meeting) to outsourcing the thread. If there will be a separate one, it might as well be here.
We want to have minimal other logins required to play.
One issue is there'd have to be a couple of watch-n-post threads, right? One for eastern and central, one for pacific.
Not at all. No one would read the earlier watch-n-posts, because they're ephemeral and kinda boring.

That is exactly why watch-n-post doesn't belong in the main thread.

Too blanket. I read them, and I am not bored by them.
Dunno about other folks, though.
