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!

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

Trudy, I just want to say that I have sympathy for how much the mere thought of losing access to the Angel thread is causing you. I know, better than you perhaps, what it would feel like. Why? Because many of us have been without an Angel thread for MONTHS now.

I wish that, in all your pleas, you just once acknowledged that your desire for keeping your privileged access to the thread will inevitably mean that others will be unable to discuss the show in there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I have a question: why can't people who know the casting changes talk in Spoils Lite until the promos start? Which, god willing, should be any minute.

Because it pushes discussion into the ghetto, and changes the very nature of a thread that's not discussion-centric.

I see what you're saying. I'm just thinking it will be virually everyone in there discussing for a short period of time, and it's seeming like the easiest solution, given the short time-frame we're talking about. (God willing. I've been watching extra WB, and no Angel yet.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm also thinking, that when the show starts, it's gonna be a weird 3 discussion thing going on. Either the people who went to lite will stay there to continue discussions they'd been having, or the regular Angel thread will choke because the discussions have been going on outside of it.

I'm remembering (possibly incorrectly) a discussion in Spoilers that was really good, and I suggested moving it to Buffy (wasn't spoilery), and whoever I was discussing with said no because ...eh now I forget, but I was thinking of it today and thinking it was relevant.

It also doesn't solve what appears to be the central issue, because this, at it's heart, isn't about the BCS.

Either the people who went to lite will stay there to continue discussions they'd been having, or the regular Angel thread will choke because the discussions have been going on outside of it.

This too.

The core issue is about summertime casting changes announcements, right?

Yeah, OK, I don't know. And really should just stay out of it, because I don't even post in the show threads anymore!

Also, some people feel that casting news isn't a spoiler, and don't particularly want to go to some other thread to discuss it.

I don't particularly think it's a spoiler, either. Especially if we're just talking about actors, because who knows what's going to happen? Not me.

It's not that I wouldn't go to another thread to discuss it, it's just that Lite really is not a discussion thread. It's more a casting spoiler confirmation thread, from what I can tell.
