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

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.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I'm sorry-- I didn't mean to start this, I was just sort of brainstorming aloud about how we could bring Buffy into an area of the board where everyone goes (like natter), but I really don't have any dissatisfaction with the comics thread as it is now.

I rarely go into Natter.

I'm withdrawing the question.

Sophia, you're looking at ways to maintain the Buffy-ness of the board, for the good of the board. Hell, I consider you one of the biggest defenders of the sense of community here.
So I might not agree on the comic idea specifically, but I still understand what you're thinking, and I like the general idea.
t edit Meaning, you shouldn't feel bad about brainstorming aloud. IMO.

Thanks Steph!
I really don't want my brainstorming to morph into an argument at all, because sometimes our fights are not good for the community

Although I said it in the comments, I want to reiterate that I really appreciate the effort you guys put into the poll. Like Le Nubian, the results make me feel at peace with the way the board is run.
Also, I think it's wrong to marginalize the lurker perspective in the poll results. I understand the sentiment that posters should have more of a say because this is, in essence, the poster's sandbox. But I look at lurkers as both potential posters and "fans" of current posters. As a potential poster, they should have a say in what the place looks like since they are here and are simply a click (and maybe a vodka shot) away from joining the fun. As fans, I think the feedback is equally important, because we often post to entertain/reach-out to the broader base of readers as much as to interact with other posters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are people really doing this?

Caught a whiff of some why-do-the-lurkers-matter annoyance upthread, which pinged me so I thought I'd comment.
