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.

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.
It was my understanding that we would always, automatically have a dedicated thread for any Joss show-
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.
It seems to me that any new Joss show should have its own thread, but not until it's actually on a network schedule. If people are worried about spoilers elsewhere, perhaps the pilot-related discussion could live in Buffy and Angel?
Why wouldn't it be in Spoilers?
speaking of Spoilers...what's the hot topic(s) lately?
It certainly could be in Spoilers, except that spoilers for everything are in there, and some people are very spoiler-averse. I'm a spoiler whore, myself, but I do understand that there are more delicate sensibilities out there.
Yes. Spoilers, which are anything unaired in the US, belong in the spoiler thread.

But they're spoilers, so where else would they go?
There's going to be plenty of promos, interviews etc on the run up to launch though.

Formally, aired-on-TV promos and cast list (and, I guess, premise) are legit material. Interviews, photo spreads, hinty discussion, etc. are still spoilers (some may be Lite spoilers). Until the show gets on the schedule, there shouldn't be much to talk about that isn't spoilery.
(FWIW, Spoilers hasn't had much discussion in it recently, just guest stars and episode titles. It should be possible to jump to the last post in the thread and start a new topic without too much intentional blindness.)
