Tech type people, does it matter if we close all of the threads we are consolidating and then open another thread? Is there a resource type reason not to do that?

Cause it would make archiving stuff more sensemaking.

Minimal impact on resources, and in the long run better for when the thread can be moved right to archives.

Okey. Then, as of now, that's what will happen until someone else sways me otherwise. I'll change it in the proposal.

Did I mention easily swayed? Of course it can. Maybe even "adorable fluffy bo-bita, who loves bunnies as cute little pets and not dinner."

This. With the SMG-like punching addition.

t confident - because she is moving and nobody has new address

Kristen - tell me more stories about Monique and Spike. I always suspected Allyson was on acid, but that was a good one, too.

Okey. Then, as of now, that's what will happen until someone else sways me otherwise. I'll change it in the proposal.

This all sounds good, Kat.

Bitchy Fic and PPO could be combined, I think, since Bitchy Fic has different types of Buffista written fanfic that isn't Smallville or BtVS or Angel.

However Fanfiction is a discussion thread and not where actual works in progress are posted and I'd like that to be kept seperate. I have a hard time keeping up with Bitchy Fic, I try, but it's nice to know I can go to Fanfiction and find discussion about Fanfic trends or find recommendations and things like that.

This is my sense of things too.

I thought the "anthology project" thread was more about writing/publishing pr0n, but it's pretty dormant. Could the discussions there be combined in with either Bitchy Fic/PPO or the Great Write Way thread?

Also, are there any shows that Atlantic Canadians will still get earlier next fall? If not, could the social aspect of the thread be maintained in Un-Americans?

The Canadian thread is a separate community from Unamericans.

So then maybe an Angel quotables thread since there would actually be new episodes,

There already is an Angel quotable thread, though it hasn't seen any action in quite a while (it's buried after some closed threads, actually).

Thanks, Jon. I know that's been the argument against closing it in the past -- I just wanted to see if it was still important, if there's no longer a practical reason for the thread, as there was when the Canadians got Buffy earlier.

But it and UnAmerican are both pretty active, so consolidating them might not make sense anyhow.

On the fanfiction issue, just to back Allison up--the fanfiction thread has a distinct purpose from the BitchFic thread, as she explained above. However, the PPO and Bitchfic threads could be successfully combined (I believe), and depending on what the others think, the Anthology project could be folded in there as well. The Anthology has been dormant for a couple months now, and most of the people who are writing for Anthology participate in the BitchFic thread. Just, like. A suggestion.

I'd be cool with the Spoilers changing it's name to Angel Spoilers. Though it's pretty much superficial considering we all call it Spoilers anyway.

I still don't quite see why Previously has to be closed/reopened just for Angel. But that might simply be my blinders. I would like to request that it be previously on Buffy and Angel, but whatever the majority says.

The Canadia thread is, like Jon said, their own separate community.

I would like to request that it be previously on Buffy and Angel, but whatever the majority says.

I am still not sure that I understand why. Would you like this instead of a separate Buffy thread? And if you would like both a separate Buffy thread to discuss past Buffy episodes and a Buffy and Angel Previously thread to discuss past Buffy and Angel episodes, could you explain why? I am not trying to be dense here, I just want to know why to see if I agree.
