I thought that Firefly was supposed to be non-spoilery for un-Americans because it was the one show-thread where we are all on equal ground.

(Well, not so much now - -when North Americans are getting the show and nobody else is.)

Set all discussions in Archive on WX to PERM. Changed exp. to 120, in the event that whatever changes they make where they make you do that for all non-perm discussions hits sooner, rather than later. And, to get rid of the annoying blurb.

Should perhaps be spot checked, though pretty certain all threads were checked and then checked.

Have not touched other threads, because this took a while, and my brain melted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ple, I permanentized all the other threads yesterday. I just hadn't had a chance to get to the attic yet, so thanks. I'll spot check the attic if you want to take a quick look at the others.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um. just a question. Would it be worthwhile for an admin for WX to go over and post in Buffista threads, say once or twice a week? I don't know how any of this works (mirrors? colored smoke?) so I AM talking completely through my hat. But will WX continue to give space to what are really dead, inactive threads, with the header stors still going through their paces? And if those threads are archived off the WX site, then do we need them to still be there at WX?

Also, speaking of Buffista Shadowlands, the tv folder at TT still says "...to Buffy the Vampire Slayer," even though there isn't an active BtVS thread any more.

There's an active TT thread. Not all that active, but I do check it from time to time. An active Angel one, too.

I've notice occasional admin posting in most of the threads. (Edit: not the specific threads, but in some of the discussions in the threads.)

Had way, WAY, too little to do, so I organized the WX attic.

I really need a life...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Given that we have threads for non-Jossian shows like Smallville and dueSouth, would it be permissible to start a thread for Farscape?

I can't promise all the natter about John in leather pants would be segregated there but come January there will be (some) new episodes airing, and I know there's a sizeable number of Buffistas who watch the show...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Please, someone, make this a thread title somewhere. ijs.

Woo hoo! I vote for Cheese as the next Buffista.

If I only had a brain...

I know at least three Buffistas who are Farscape fanatics; this seems like a reasonable request to me. Especially since it's a good place to quarrel about "My endangered show is better than YOUR endangered show!"
