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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This way, we won't be adding a thread; we'll just be broadening the purpose of one
Except....we won't, really. It's already effectively a thread for both shows, we just haven't officially called it that. I think closing/reopening is an extraneous step.

Except it's not. The slug on the main page, under the title, says it is for Buffy.

Isn't the slug a pretty quick-fix change, though?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As would be the title.
I mean, the effort's not the issue -- it's the acceptance.

But the content of the thread includes both shows.

Wasn't there a big discussion here last night (or maybe it was in bureau or bbabb) about closing and opening new, rather than repurposing, for archiving purposes. Mind you, I don't care. I just thought we were trying to be consistent.

Okay, but the purpose was for discussion of episodes airing in syndication. Angel hasn't quite yet started its syndication run. I can find talk about O.C. in Buffy. It doesn't mean it's the O.C. thread.

See, this is what I'm wondering--what the purpose of closing and reopening threads is. 'Cause the Spoiler thread hasn't hit 10k yet, and we could easily change the title and then archive it once it's hit the posting limit. Pretty easy.

My point is that we're not really repurposing the thread. The thread content is going to stay exactly the same. We've changed inaccurate slugs before without closing and reopening threads -- I don't see how this is any different.
