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?

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.

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.

Glad to hear the universe is not at risk. Chartreuse is terrible for my coloring.

It sounds like the Smallville and Farscape people are willing to let go of their threads, whereas Due South has a bigger investment. Is that right?

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

It was taking up a lot of Bitches, but it didn't bother me at the time, because a lot of us were watching SV also.

Jesse already said this, but there's always going to be someone, or a few people, who feel very strongly about keeping a thread.

But in practical terms, if a thread is low-volume, and we're thinking of helping the board in terms of server load, then probably the best thing would be to close the low-volume specialized television threads.

I also have no problem closing the Farscape thread, fwiw.

So... amended:

The House Keeping Proposal:

1. The Buffista Corp thread gets closed. Bless its Cafe Press heart.

2. At some point, post-death match that the Buffy quotable thread be closed.

3. The slug for the Previously thread will be changed to add Angel. It's still open whether or not it will say Angel or Angel and Buffy.

4. Change ita's username to adorable fluffy bo-bita.

5. Due South, Smallville and perhaps Farscape will be consolidated in some way. We are still discussing this. Some possibilities include
closing all three threads.
Rolling all three threads into one and mentioning it's a thread for those three with some catchy Ikea like name.
Closing one thread or two threads only
Not doing anything.

6. Buffy Spoilers Lite will be closed.

7. Change the name of the Buffy/Angel Spoilers thread to "Angel Spoilers"

8. Consolidate PPO and Bitchy Fic. And possibly the Bitches' Anthology. The way it would work would be they would all be closed and archived and a new thread combining all three under a clever umbrella would open.
