How about something like: Previously, on Buffy (oh, and Angel)

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!

That's fine, Trudy, if folks want to dump the regular Buffy thread. But I don't think people want to do that (and I tend to agree with them).

Maybe A Buffy Forever and Always thread in lieu of the bunch we have now?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We keep talking about redundancies and combining threads but there is no reason to have a Previously thread that's just about Buffy and a Buffy thread when there are no new Buffy episodes. That's two threads talking about the exact same topic right there.
There seems to be a lot of agreement with that. The current proposal is to either discontinue the Previously thread, or if not convert it to a Previously on Angel thread, to reflect the fact that Angel starts syndication in the fall.

I know we have to make some tough decisions, and we may have to cut some threads that will make a lot of people unhappy, and ultimately, if we have to ccut the Buffy thread, I guess we'll just have to cut it.
But I say again, we are not called the Previouslyistas, we are called the Buffistas, and keeping the Buffy thread open is, IMHO, the one real way we have of paying homage to the show that spawned us.
Which I guess is just my way of saying that if it's between Previously and Buffy, I think we should keep Buffy, and I'm at least a little puzzled that anybody would pick different on a board called Buffistas.
But maybe that's just me.

I think so. They seem to be advocating a single Buffy thread, as opposed to both Buffy and Previously. Which the current proposal would do, if either 4 or 4b is passed.
(eta, should 4 be numbered 4a?)

Regarding thread consolidation proposals I am one confusedista. But that's because I'm too tired to concentrate on all the different variations.
