Please don't kill me for this, but what about the three Firefly threads (the main one, Spoilers, and Quotable)? Could we start to phase out one or two of them once the UKers have seen all of the episodes?

'Serenity'
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'm wondering if we can't lose the quotables threads entirely. Do people feel that it's an essential thread? Couldn't those posts reside within the threads for their respective shows?
In which case I think we should consider voting people off.
Dude, the posting generated by that debate on that would definitely knock us offline. And I'm pretty sure the same could be said for any serious discussion of eliminating Bitches and/or Natter.
So I'm voting for non panic.

Kristen, I wasn't serious about voting people off. Though if I needed to be, I'd recommend that the entire thing happen off board, like in a little makeshift voting booth.
It would take a lot to get me to want to go there. I think I'd even be willing to try the evens post on M/W/F and odds post on T/Th/S/S or nobody above 500 post anymore thing.

I'd prefer not to do this one, but I'm terribly biased about that.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Or, say, evens post on PeoplesForum M/W/F, odds post on buffistas.org M/W/F, and so on. That could work. I can't entertain "nobody above 500 can post" as anything more than a hypothetical, however. This board has no second-class citizens.

Well, I figured. But then I actually thought about the ramifications for a second and imagined us running up the threads until we hit Voting Discussion 666: We're Trimming the Fat AIFS! and then the server went out in a fiery blaze of vitriol.

And it probably would take all of about a week to get there.

Well, of course not. It also has no first-class or third-class citizens. Or any citizens. Cause it's a posting board and not a sovereign nation.
But I get your point.
Okay, back to consolidating. . .
Firefly stuff? Two or Three?
Quotable threads? Necessary or Not?

HA! I think you forget we only have four days to debate. I was expecting that around Hour 19.
Firefly stuff? Two or Three?
I say two. Actually, I would even say none and roll them up with the Smallville and Farscapes of this board but I don't think that would fly. [No pun intended.]

Have the UKers seen all of the Firefly episodes at this point? If so, I would vote for consolidating the spoiler and main thread. If not, consolidate them when they have seen them all.
I love the quotable threads, and hope we get a chance to keep Buffy open long enough to finish the death matches, but the Board is more important, so I guess I'd say close and archive them.
