Relatedly, are old threads no longer archived into downloadable files? Because searching the old B'cracy threads is a slow process (I mean in terms of my computer doing the search itself, not in me reading it). I figured downloading the old B'cracy threads and then doing a text search would be easier, but there don't seem to be any recent threads here: [link]
The description of that says archives from Table Talk, WX, and "any future Buffista home sites," which I thought meant here.
But since this is the first time in -- well, ever -- that I've wanted to download an archived thread, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to mention it in case they *should* be there.
meara, I actually agree it should have it's own thread - I tried proposing it months ago for this exact reason - but I think it'll have to be a compromise now. Again, I think there will be significant amount of discussion about the show - it's outright weird for a Joss show, frankly - and moreso as it airs, so I think Natter is out of the equation. We should have had a proposal and vote a few weeks ago, really, but hindsight is everything.
I have no horse in this race except my anti-proliferation one.
There's nothing to stop anyone from making the proposal RIGHT NOW AIFG! and by the next airing of the show, if all goes well with the secondsies and the vote, you could have a new thread.
And if anyone digs up something more than a bullshit consensus on automatic creation of a new joss show, we can scrap the bureau-talk and create a new one sooner.
Thoughts?

While this is true, it's been brought up several times. First it was, "Let's see if it gets picked up." Then, "Let's see if it makes it to air." I wish we'd proposed it a long time ago as there is plenty to point to on the Web and discuss around Dollhouse. I've gotten all my news, photos, etc. elsewhere, which makes me a little sad. Also sad to miss the discussion it might have generated. I still think it should have its own thread, no vote needed, but whatevs. Just tell us where to talk, even if it's totally non-sense-making (Minearverse and B&A, I'm looking at you).
Okay, then I propose we have a Dollhouse thread.
ETA: Uh, unless that means I actually have to do something, as I'm crazy busy from 11 on today.
Glam, you're cute.
I'll give it a second. Voting is fun!
Remember that if a dedicated thread is voted down, it can't be proposed again for six months. I really really think we should hold off until at least a few weeks when we get a sense of how the show is doing.
There's nothing else going on in Minearverse right now.
I'm gonna fourth it. I do think the show will have a rocky time on air, but FOX are saying they plan to air all 13 episodes, so that's 3 months of airing for discussion.
I am a newbie, so don't know how much weight my voice carries, but I would love a thread for it. It's the first time I am going to jump on a Joss show since the very beginning, and I am eager to watch and post all in one place.
