Yeah, it shouldn't say "twenty years ago" since that will be wrong next year. How about ..."brought together in 1998 (or whatever year the TT thread started) by our shared love..."
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"begun during the original airing of Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?
The more I look at "brought together" the more I think about newbies. By which I mean people who have only been here 15 years.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Okay, final wording since we have reached the three-day limit on conversation and need to get to voting.
Proposal: Update the "About Us" section and registration page to better represent who we are today, a close-knit community of friends, to set appropriate expectations for new members who may come to us seeking pure fandom.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Nilly had volunteered to count the votes upthread a bit.
