I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


Bureaucracy 4: Like Job. No, really, just like Job

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.

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

What does Heroes have to do with Boxed Set? Also, I've not yet felt the thread couldn't handle the amount of volume in it, so I had no great expectation of it breaking with Supernatural still in it.

We'll see what the fall brings.

Would raising the quorum do it?

If your goal is to make it harder to create new threads, then certainly! For example, we could raise the quorum to 300 and we could be pretty sure that no new threads would be created.

For some of us, it had already broke. IJS.

Yeah, but he was addressing *my* discontent, so that was what I was referring to.

It worked for some, didn't work for others. It did work for me, and now I'm not even in it, and unless something catches my eye next season that I feel hypercompelled to discuss, I won't be. Which makes me sad, even as I'm enjoying in-depth discussion of gender issues in the new thread.

No real point here, except to say that what's fixed for some is still broken for others.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Who ARE core Buffistas? I hear this term a lot but I think we may all have different definitions. Does core mean people who post a lot? People who do work like stompying? People who make noise in B'craxy? To me, the core is folks who would radically change my experience of the board if they stopped posting--posters like (off the top of my head) ita, Betsy, Hec, Teppy, Paperdol, Nilly, Erika, Aimee, KristinT, Jesse, GC, ND, JZ, MsBelle, Bon, Tommy, Frank, BillyT, Cindy, Connie, Cashmere, Flea and I know there are WAY more I am forgetting. I don't know what "Core" means to anyone else. For me, core is people who make my experience here as rich and fun as it is.

Ahhh, got it.

Sorry, Plei, didn't mean to open any old wounds.

Who's counting the votes? I voted last night and still haven't received my confirmation email.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

See, but I am in the Gang of 14, but I don't think I am a core buffista!

Seriously, I am sure each person defines it differently, although I bet that ita would make everyone's list as she has so much to do with the technical aspects.

I tend to think of core buffistas as ones that I remember from way back at TableTalk, but I am sure others think differently.
