you know, since many of the spoiler pure won't be participating in such a thread you won't have our voices anyway
you might as well give us a place where we can converse
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

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!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, once the UnAmericans are done with Angel this year (3 days, apparently), doesn't Previously become a possiblity for a defacto summer virgin thread? Since we are only talking about SUMMER regular cast spoilers?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Huh. I never thought of this as having anything to do with Buffy being over.
::shrug:: Probably just my perspective then--a lot of people who dallyed over the summer wanted to stay pure during the season for Buffy, but were less interested in doing so for Angel.

Except the people who post in UnAmerican aren't the same people who post in spoilers or the main show threads so they may not appreciate the hijack of their thread.

And besides that, Previously is both Buffy and Angel discussion about previous seasons, not spoilers.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I don't think the UnAm thread was meant. It was the previously thread that would be repurposed.

The other thing (this is starting to get really tangled in my head) is that if this becomes routine, UnAms won't be able to do previously for fear of getting plot spoiled for the last few eps.

The Unamerican thread is not the Previously thread.
Ken's idea is an interesting one. Currently, the Previously thread slug says that it's for discussion of old Buffy eps. We'd been talking about broadening the thread to include old Angel eps since the reruns are starting in the fall. But since the Unamericans are about finished with Angel (I think this week?), why not use that one for the summer if you want to talk about Angel and remain pure? It won't require any repurposing other than what we'd already talked about.

I don't think that's a problem since it would only be used by the spoilery-averse Americans during the Summer. Once new eps start airing in the US, there's no reason why the spoilery-averse Americans can't come back to the main Angel thread.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Are you saying for right now, Jon? Because what about at the end of next season, when we've seen all of ours, the UnAms have a few to go and now can't go into previously or they'll be spoiled.
