It also houses poetry, ifI remember correctly. Very different atmosphere from the fanfiction threads.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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!

I agree that Great Write Way should be kept separate.

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

This is how I feel, as long as we still have a specificially Buffy thread - and I think that's the rub. People feel it's redundant to have a Buffy thread, and then call the Previously thread "Previously on Buffy and Angel". I (and I think others) don't want us to lose a singular Buffy thread. It gets much more action than the Previously thread, and there's no reason the syndicated episode discussion can't go in the singular Buffy thread.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Right now, the title of the previously thread doesn't mention either show.

The slug is:
For discussion of past seasons of Buffy.
Change it to "for discussion of past seasons of Angel" (or Buffy and Angel) and we're golden.

I understand the redundancy, and the want to keep the Buffy thread. I suppose I don't it does any harm to just leave it be--because I think that once Angel starts in syndication, discussion will pick up on both television shows. And since, like Jon mentioned, it doesn't mention either show, [edit: well, scratch that] and we have a continued purpose for it, it doesn't need to be touched in the housecleaning efforts.
I'm sorry if I'm being too zealous here--I just like the Previously thread the way it is.
