But if it was a known factor going in, then it'd be more like, "Well, we've hit [number]% of posts for X show. Let's talk about a new thread." Instead of, "I'm sick of scrolling by X posts! Get out, get out, get out!"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hunh, I was excited to see posts...
But if you do care what happens, as in--something does, but don't care which of the choices happens, then what?
If I don't care what happens, I tend to stop reading the discussion. Very quickly thereafter, I stop remembering that some of the board is discussing taking some action on something I don't care about.

Hey, did we ever consense on reopening Book Club for Deathly Hallows (if it matters, I'ma for it)? What needs to be done to get it from consense to reality?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
That's the question I've been asking, Franken. :-)
Here's a link to the thread again:
If it is a hassle to re-open, let us know and we will use Literary.

I am happy to consense about reopening Book Club for HP7, as my copy is arriving Saturday and the internet is already landmined with spoilers.

Yes, please.
Also, the old B'crxy won't go away from my sidebar even when I try to unsubscribe. Am I doing something dumb, or is that just a coding thing that no one has had time to deal with yet?

I think it's the latter. The side bars display whether you subscribe or not, I think. Bureau-blah-blah 3 needs to be archived or moved to closed threads before it goes away (I think).

Ah! Okay, thanks. Just making sure it wasn't me.

I don't know if there's a queue of proposals, but since I just saw a casting spoiler for House, it occurred to me that it might be a good time to float the idea of a Network Drama bucket thread before the gathered populace.
I'm for it, but are we still too early? Is discussing it now before premieres start nipping at our heels a good idea? Non-Fiction seems to be doing well.
