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.
Current Stompy Feet: Jon B, P.M. Marcontell, Liese S., amych, msbelle, shrift, Dana, Laura
Stompy Emerita: ita, DXMachina
You know, in a case of complete esprit d'escalier, I'm going to try this again.
Although there is one type of person who meets ita's definition of NOT-a-lurker, but not victor's -- the person who has donated money to the board but never posts.
Lurkers with Privileges.
I feel better now ....
I am not sure who all you people are, but ...
Yeah, but I've been here the longest. In case anyone's forgotten.
I don't know. It looks like five people have got you beat.
Oh, you are not going to make me pull out proof.
And "here" equals "the Buffy threads back on TT". There was life before the Phoenix, though it seems hard to believe.
So there was Agnes and then there was Dana?
The funny thing is, I don't think I ever posted with Agnes. I came into the thread right around the beginning of third season. Um, the episode where Cordelia gets impaled and they fakeout her funeral at the end. I can't remember the name any more.
God, I'm going to get kicked off the board for failing Buffy 101.
"Lover's Walk"
Um, the episode where Cordelia gets impaled and they fakeout her funeral at the end. I can't remember the name any more.
That would be "Lover's Walk."

Okay, I had to go look at that first thread. I'm getting severe whiplash from seeing all of those names.
My first post was #442, which was a year and a half into the thread life.
And another thing that always amuses me -- someone spoiled "Becoming, Part I" before it aired.
Oh, and a spoiler for the season finale:
Supposedly, Angel gets his soul back. Hmmm. Hope they'll do something more with Oz -- he wasn't in it last week, and there wasn't much with Cordelia, either.
Dana forgot "Lover's Walk," neener, neener! (I always remember that Dana was here longest, 'cause she was one of the pivotal people who caused me to stick around. Spicy brains!)
Agnes barely posted, actually. I think she was just happy to not be the only, ahem, Watcher, and that was pretty much it. Not that I was there. But there were archives.
I agree with ita that once a lurker has touched the corpus in one way or another, they're not a lurker. Those are the people I want to accommodate. The rest of them, while they may be perfectly lovely human beings, are Schroedinger's lurkers, and we can't know what they want until they...open the posting box.
Gee. I wonder how far I could extend that metaphor? I'd better stop now before it involves tails and catfood and dangerously toxic cat scratching posts.
