I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

ok, I swear it wasn't me. I do the search for buffistas.org thing when I am on the phone or on other people's machines. Habit.

buffistas.org

Me too, at times. Old habits die hard, and sometimes it's faster to connect to Google than to the site directly, to make sure I'm not typoing all over the place.

james marsters "cement block"

if they told james marsters that his new love interest was a cement block, he would have chemistry with the cement block.

There might be the slightest connection with moi. Some time after watching Dr. Horrible, I thought of "On the Rise" (not sure that's the name of the song) and how some men/unmen of the verse have the tendency to throw themselves at cement blocks when frustrated with their romantic lives. I don't think I'd search for "cement block" (because "wall" comes to my Hebrish mind, not "block"), but if Google have suggested the second sentence first, I'd probably narrow it down to JM and "cement block" afterward.

My mind, let me show it to you.

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

It's a pretty big wedge. Uses of Google

What is even happening?

We have a much more definable referrer spike (NPI) from TWOP, from the Vampire Diaries recap that mentions BBOC.

Was it okay that I linked to the FAQ? I know linking to the thread is wrong bad wrong, but I figured the FAQ was okay.

As per all the posting stats, it warms my cold, cold heart that I'm still showing up on the stat tables for spoilers, spoilers lite, and light bulbs. I'm glad I'm finally out of the B'crazy gang of 14, though. Hope this post doesn't screw it up.

Somewhere out there, there's a post where I summed up the Guscapades (for Heather/Daisy Jane, I think). And in my opinion, if there's a Fast Eddie/TV Tropes entry in the FAQ (if, if, if) then we should link to the thread where Gus first proposed creating the site, and then to my post (maybe on Gus's name) so that people get the story of Gus.

I've linked to TV Tropes, when needed, for assignments, and then promptly thrown up. Seriously. That was my worst time ever as a Buffista. I never felt the same here, again. So yeah, I don't want to give him a lot of attention, but I also don't want people to be unable to ascertain that Gus/Kimi/Janitor/Fast Eddie are all the same person, and that that person is a huge-ass creep, or at least was -- to us.

Hey. New board.

The post Cindy refers to is here: Topic!Cindy "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Jan 6, 2007 5:26:28 am PST

I missed most of this myself, and am glad the link exists.

Cindy, I think it's perfectly fine to link to the FAQ, and see no reason why it wouldn't be! But maybe I'm not different from other buffistas?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Are we worrying unnecessarily? How likely is it that someone will come here specifically looking for info on Gus and the origins of TV Tropes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't consider the FAQ a reaction to worry. I consider it a repository of facts, and if something generated a lot of questions, why not deem them frequently asked and answer them there?

I don't see a downside to laying out the information.
