"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.

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!

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.

Excellent.
Who wants to count votes?
Me!
Profile address OK?
Nilly had volunteered to count the votes upthread a bit.
Love it, Jess!

Yeah, I joined in 2004. ONLY 14 YEARS. Noob. Or wait. 2003? I have to check Allyson's book. (My first night on the board is immortalized in the book, so I feel I should get some credit for that, at least.)

Oh! If we want to maintain tradition, Nilly can do it. (NILLY!!)
Otherwise, my profile address is fine.
