Bureaucracy 4: Like Job. No, really, just like Job

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.

why does it need a new thread? we have natter.

If it was actually going to be in Natter, I wouldn't care. If it was going to be in Boxed Set, I would.

Plus, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Joss shows getting their own thread. Although I certainly agree with this:

I'm with those who want to wait until we have an indication that Fox (or whoever) is actually going to put it in their schedule.

I did not mean the showing having it's own thread. I meant the pre-show offtopic or tangentially related talk.

Ah, then we agree to agree I guess.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maybe I'm superstitious, but I fear that the sooner the show has its own thread, the sooner it'll be cancelled.

The only reason why I'd prefer discussion of the show be in Minearverse for the time being is that I can't keep up with Natter and Boxed Set is rife with spoilers for shows that I've fallen behind in watching.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Can. Worms. Everywhere.

Kevin, I really think this can of worms was going to be opened eventually, with or without you.

What is even happening?

It was my understanding that we would always, automatically have a dedicated thread for any Joss show-

...this is also my recollection.

It's mine, too. I swear we had that conversation at one point. That said, I do think it's way too early to start a thread.

I think May is a good point to pick it back up. The pilot will be shot by then and there should be an indication of air date all being well.

I definitely think it should have it's own topic, by the way. It's a show which will generate discussion, and lots of it.

The situation has never arisen since b.org started and it's never been a part of our voted-on rules, therefore it ain't so.
