I think, because Previously is already purposed to handle Buffy (and Angel) discussion about already-aired Buffy episodes, we don't need a Buffy thread. Which, okay, this is originally a Buffy board, and I can understand the desire to always have a Buffy thread. But I'm looking at what the original purpose of the thread was, and I don't see the need to repurpose or do away with it if it still serves it's purpose.

Also, some of the best and most intense discussion about past individual episodes has taken place in that thread. From what I've seen, also, different kinds of discussion takes place in the Buffy thread versus the Previously thread. Buffy thread takes on an overall analysis, where Previously often looks at individual older episodes. Not that either discussion hasn't taken place in either thread, but...there's a different feel. And I'd hate to lose that.

I propose some stompy change ita's name to "ita-bobita: fluffy bunny w/mouse punches" and then mess with some code so she has to figure out how to change it back and starts attacking fellow stompies in devious ways.

I'm quite flattered that y'all think I'm so mature and well-balanced that I'd handle it without rampant destruction.

I have no idea whose posts you've been reading, though.

I'm not sure what to do about Great Write Way, I forgot about that. I think it should be kept seperate.

The discussion there has been discussion and posting on original work, aspects of publishing original fiction and that sort of thing, which is very different than fanfiction. Although it's a fiction thread it's a different type of fiction and I think it should stay seperate from fanficition.

It also houses poetry, ifI remember correctly. Very different atmosphere from the fanfiction threads.

I agree that Great Write Way should be kept separate.

SA, I personally don't see why repurposing Previously to an Angel thread would suddenly make it verbotten to bring up a Buffy episode for discussion. But maybe that's just me & my liberal sense of thread drift.

Kat - rather than renaming the Buffy/Angel spoilers thread, perhaps we should close it, and open a new Angel Spoilers thread, instead, for the same archiving issues everyone mentioned during the repurpose vs. close discussions for other threads.

I've mentioned this in the spoilers thread. There have been no objections, and I don't see any coming, but I only posted about it this morning, and could be wrong. I said (there) that if anyone knows of a reason it's not a good idea, to pop in and mention it here.

I didn't say it would be verbotten--but why does the title have to be specifically for Angel? Why can't it be both Buffy and Angel?

Because the Buffy thread will be, by default, all previously aired eps, all the time? Just a guess.
