I'm sorry, Hec. I either skimmed over that, or forgot. Never mind, then.
Nah, it's okay. I'm just going to go over to Box Set and give DXM shit for bringing up Andromeda.

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!

What is even happening?
It's Friday, you know. Make sure you bring DX a Pimm's Cup.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I was just watching Andromeda while waiting for Stargate to start. Besides, it's not the first time it's been discussed in there, or in the threads from which Boxed Set was cobbled together.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Um, I'm on the side of "let's discuss the proposal" and leave the TV discussion for another time or thread or make another proposal or something.
As I said, I think it's germane to the Politics Thread discussion. It wouldn't be the first time that a proposal in here sparked discussion which had a different outcome than just the proposed vote.
Yeah, that's great...can we make it easier on the proposer and try to limit that? Lightbulb was opened to discuss the Politics thread proposal, let's try and get through that without getting too sidetracked.

As far as the Politics thread, I'm with Jon and Victor. I have no objections to adding new threads, and I don't think there the technical issues are sufficient to warrant against it. I don't think the conversation will get out of control. I'm also not all that concerned that a horde of trolls will descend upon us.
I dislike discussing politics, and would never subscribe to a politics thread. I initially thought I might vote for it this time around, but then I realized that I was only considering it because I saw it as a way to exile the political talk to it's own little corner of the board where I didn't have to read it. That's a lousy reason to vote in favor, IMO. I may not like it, but I'd rather skim.
We've never been a general purpose board. As has been noted, we started with TV only, and branched out into other areas of popular culture as we grew. We originally added the natter thread mostly to take some of the pressure off the show threads so people could keep up with them. I just don't think a politics thread fits this board any better than a sports thread would.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I propose a hockey thread. For me and Matt and Andrea.
Just kidding. I think the issues raised are valid. And I'll be interested to see how the vote goes, when it does.
