'Never Leave Me'
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 it's here, Vortex, but I admit that I got tired of looking past that to see whether it had come up for voting again; I don't think it did. Also? Time flies. I would have said that all happened last year.

Of the ones you list, the only speciality thread that has really generated enough traffic to merit a thread is Reality. I'm for rethinking them all.
Is this a formal proposal? Because I'll second it.
i'll third(if it's a formal proposal)!
Well, yes, I guess it can be, although what does that entail? I'm moving this weekend and haven't yet set up Internet or anything.
How much traffic is enough traffic? Procedurals seems to be ticking along nicely.
How much traffic is enough traffic?
Ah, the age old question.
Reality is the obvious success; most of the others are in the 2000ish ballpark.
I can't remember, did Procedurals come out of the same temporary experiment? Why didn't Network Drama get it's own permanent thread (vs. Comedy, Cable, and Reality)?
I didn't watch Life on Mars. From what I knew about it, it didn't confuse me to see it in BS. It wouldn't confuse me to see it in procedurals either.
Mostly, I just like clear definitions. I don't think this is the first time someone's been surprised to find out that a given show was being discussed in BS. I don't care so much about whether I agree with the definition of SF (it's probably a given that I won't, 'cause I'm like that) as long as I understand what it is.
it seems to me that both of these issues could be solved with a network drama thread.
Sorry, which issues do you mean? I don't think that adding a drama thread will clarify what's a drama versus what's SF. (If you meant something else, never mind.)
Why didn't Network Drama get it's own permanent thread (vs. Comedy, Cable, and Reality)?
Didn't get the votes, as I recall. It was on the ballot.
I hate to stir up some shit, but it seems to me that both of these issues could be solved with a network drama thread. Has it been 6 months?
Well, for CUPID it would have to be a dramedy thread, wouldn't it?

If Cupid and Kings don't belong in Boxed Set, they belong in Natter. Creating a new thread won't help to explain things to Strega.
