Two people have said that closing the thread they are in, while sad making, and having that conversation move to natter in the interim, while we wait to see how tech issues shake out, might be fine. What about Due South and Smallville (sob!)?

Losing the Due South thread would make me sad.

Yep. Losing the Smallville thread is sad making for me. I love the 10 posts after Smallville, all filled with LEEEEEEEX! Except, I could be fine with it knowing that (1) contributes to the health of the board (2) I could still discuss TV through Natter (3) there might be a time when a more general TV thread or threads come to fruition.

the original reason for the smallville thread was that it was taking over natter, correct?

So I think (and I do read Smallville) that since that is no longer happening, it could be closed.

Due South seems to be active, and a community.

Farscape is nice, seems more active than smallville, but probably could be closed. (I also read that thread). I would feel better about that then closing Atlantic canadians, because that feels like a sub-community.

LEEEEEEEX!

Pronounced like "leeks"?? (kidding)

Looks like low volume all around for the non-ME shows, then, Kat? So it's more a question of organization, tidying up to have all TV talk in one place. If that's going to kill our server, well, as much as I crave organization, I can live with the posts in Natter.

Due South is a low volume thread but the it covers a broad spectrum and I'm going to be selfish and say that I don't want it to go away becuase I can't keep up with Natter, I shouldn't even be posting this right now (I can get away with it because of technical difficulities at school) and if the Due South topic got mixed in with Natter or something larger I wouldn't be able to particpate.

I watch Due south and Stargate and I want to be able to talk about them.

I think the fact of the matter is that basically every thread is beloved by those who post in them, no matter how infrequently.

Burrell, dude, you must be thinking of the other ita, the one whose gingham isn't pink, or whose first ballgown skirt wasn't pink, or whose first two-piece wasn't pink. Certainly not the ita who wore a cropped top for much of the 80s with pink handprints on her boobies. With a long pink skirt.

Some other ita.

The horsemen of my apocalypse? Wear lots of yellow.

In more topicky news, the only reason I'd like to keep ds/Sm/Fs around is because they already exist. I don't want existing users who are not me to wake up disenfranchised.

Me? I'm good with it. It would be different, but if rolling them all together creates a sudden magnet, or strange spoiler rules, nope. I'm not for that.

This seems logical. So is that an argument for one of the options?

Well, it's like Field of Dreams. Build the thread and they will post. I'm so waffly on this.

Okay then, next question. Is there anyone here who isn't currently posting in Smallville/Farscape/Due South who would anticipate posting in a Fannish TV thread?

Can we just make it the Smallville/Farscape/Due South thread and not explicitly add in any more television allowances? Other than what goes on in there now, informally?

Edited, that is to say, name it such? And also to add, I appreciate the denizens of such threads who are open to consolidation and closing. Yay you, with your betterment of board health attitudes.
