I'm not saying it's the strongest reason ever, but it is a single one.

It's a pretty weak one, as far as I can tell. The B/A thread belongs to the shows, and currently Joss. That makes sense to me.

If someone doesn't routinely read B/A or Bureau and would like to talk about The Guild, would they know to look for it in B/A? If someone is following The Guild but isn't caught up, would they know to expect spoilers for it in B/A? Declaring in Bureau that it'll be okay to discuss it in B/A only helps people who reads at least one of those threads.

I don't want to make it seem like I personally want to drive the Guild conversation out of that particular thread; The Guild isn't an issue for me and the people who want to discuss it certainly aren't Ruining My Life. It's the eternal bright lines thing. I don't know how to guess where I should mention something, or what threads I should follow, or even what threads it's safe for me to read, if the names & slugs have no relationship to what's actually being discussed.

It's made by and stars a Buffy alum? I'm not saying it's the strongest reason ever, but it is a single one.

It really isn't. It's confusing. And for those of us (Hi) who aren't following The Guild, and do like to keep up on Buffista B/A conversation (even all these years after the fact), it's making "Read New" and subscriptions useless.

I think OM (or Boxed Set -- I was scared to say that before, but ND has emboldened me, which is better than mogrifying me).

Also? What Strega said.

Can we just consense on OM? I think there are maybe six of us who talk about it (so far), and we've spent more time talking about where to talk about it than we have actually talking about it. Does anyone object to OM?

I have no opinion on where The Guild should be talked about, but i do have a possible pot-stirring question for the masses. Dollhouse? Boxed Set, Buffy/ Angel or Minearverse?

JenP, stop trying to voice-of-reason us out of a good day and a half of threadmatch smackdown.

sigh

What? I miss the old days a little.

ETA: pssst, tiggy, what about its own thread?

runs away

heh. you better be a fast runner, Wolfram.

Ooh, someone's got a hankerin' for a calamitous collapse in the social capital markets. When the social economists declare that we've entered a social recession and we need Congress to enact a huge social bailout to avoid a decade of social depression, I'm pointing at you.

Dollhouse? 4 episodes. 6 max. We could start a trainwreck thread.

But you need to spend social capital to raise social revenues. That's basic socialnomics. I think someone once drew a curve or a bell or something.
