Description: The small, yet devoted Buffistas of due South, Smallville, and Farscape live here.
Small? I'm 5'7"!
"small yet devoted Buffista subcommunities of due South, Smallville, and Farscape fans live here."
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Is there a strong bullshit consensus for including Farscape in with the rest? I have no objection on a personal basis, but it doesn't seem (to me) to be a natural fit with the rest in that thread. It's, as I understand it (and being only a v. occasional viewer, rather than a proper fannish fan) good genre TV, with arcs and depth and Buffy-level goodness. I'd have thought it was worthy of its own thread, if there were room. If there's not room, then okay, hell with that, combine them all.

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

I threadsucked. Betsy HP, askye, brenda m, SeanK, SA, and Fay didn't think it belonged with the rest. Consuela, Katie M, and ita had no problems with consolidation. DavidS didn't want any of them consolidated. SeanK, Consuela, and Jess PMoon said they'd be OK with cutting the thread entirely.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've got a ballot ready to go and the wording of each item has been approved by Kat. Unless she wants to make changes, I'm going with it as is.
I'm including the preamble and pro/con arguments in the ballot itself, rather than having a separate page for them. I don't think the page is too crowded and it will be easier for voters to follow along.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX, I've set votes.at.buffistas.org to go to your profile address.

Jon B., the pro/con was a lot of work and really helpful. I appreciate it a lot because I was going to volunteer to do one and I thought it would crush me. You rule.

Jon, you totally rock. Thank you for doing all of the pro-con stuff. I know i'm not right minded enough to handle that.
Also thank you for the ballot and the preamble.
If posisble, the Preamble I'd like to see:
The last Buffy episode has been aired in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc., and some of our threads have become redundant. It's housecleaning time! To the extent possible, it's best to get this all out of the way now, before the US fall TV season begins.
In addition, we recently learned that our current usage is overloading our server. We areworking on coding changes to improve this, so there's no need to panic and implement draconian cuts, but removing redundancies on our board will help the situation because more open threads usually leads to more posts, pages loaded and database. Think of our current situation as thread sprawl. Consolidating threads will be a bit like carpooling, allowing our system to operate more effectively.

That's a good change to the preamble, Kat. I'll add it in.

oops. . . Dropped word in there, Jon. I hope you grabbed it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

To be honest, I'd prefer cutting the thread entirely than combining it with Due South and Smallville. I can always have impromtu Farscape conversations in either Natter or Bitches, but I really have no interest in Due South, Smallville, or Stargate.
