How far back is that nifty table that listed the various threads and their rankings in the "experience"? (I always think of Prince when I think of "experience." Your Hendrix may vary.)

"not interested in participating in the social threads"

This to me means they want to talk about specific show threads or specific topics (e.g. Movies, Music, Literary, probably Box Set). They don't want to wade through Natter or Bitches for glimpses of same.

Doesn't mean they don't want to talk to people here; I think they just want some more focused threads to do so.

hip deep in pie

because I sort of think Buffy is the heart of this board-- the one thing we all have in common.

I had a similar thought while cleaning out the Kitty Litter last night. While There was Buffy, Angel, and Firefly we argued about thread proliferation, but since we had something that was a clear focus, it sort of the other thing we did on the board, besides talk about the Jossverse. Now the other stuff is what we have to talk about and we don't have a single opinion on what that should be.

Clearly our solution is that Joss or Tim (or both together) need to put on a new series that captures our hearts (and lasts more than 13 episodes.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was wondering if we should think about discussing the Buffy comics, perhaps in whitefont, in a thread that gets more traffic than the comic thread, to try and give discussions some focus. I am not wedded to this idea, but I tend to forget the comic thread is there, even though I am reading Buffy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Speaking from (not for) the comics thread, please no.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't see the logic in creating a separate thread to discuss the thing that the comics thread was originally created to discuss (i.e., Joss-written comics in the BtVS universe). The only reason it morphed into the general comics thread at all was because Fray had such a limited & unpredictable run.

Oh- I wasn't thinking separate thread- I was think more that we could think about bringing it up in Natter as well.

My thought about the comics was that if they're Season 8, they should be discussed in the Buffy thread.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My thought about the comics was that if they're Season 8, they should be discussed in the Buffy thread.

But there's already a thread to discuss them. Buffy comics are part of why that thread was created.
