Hmm, maybe a Talky Meat thread where people can ask questions, and the good ones would get uploaded to a new FAQ.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I like Vortex's thread idea. There's no way we can (a) anticipate all the possible Q's that may or may not ever be FA (b) expect people to find and read them at the precise time it suits us or (c) make that a process that incorporates new people gracefully rather than in a chore-feeling way. A Welcome New Talky Meat thread would get people interacting without being all RTFM N00B at them, and not have us pointing them to in-jokes we haven't actually joked in the last decade.

I honestly doubt we'll get a huge influx of peeps in this day and age. We're dinosaurs!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I predict a medium size bump in new registrations, with a teeny tiny number of new active members in the long term. Kids today aren't looking for a text-only discussion board.
I'll take this over to Bureau in a minute, but one place we might want to make an update is the "About this site" page?
Welcome to Buffistas.org. This site is the online home of the Buffistas, a worldwide community of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly fans.
We could make it clear here that while we started out as a fansite, we are mostly just a bunch of old farts talking about our lives these days, with a baseline of common fannish interests.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That is a damn good idea.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm not an old fart! *considers* No, it fits.
Damn it.

Realistically, I was an old fart when I joined back in 2001.

I'm into it! Because Olivia Williams.
Even if every character there ticks off a box on Joss Bingo.
