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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It theoretically shouldn't be googlable, but it could be if enough people link there.

Unless Google has changed its response to header fields and robots.txt, it won't be googleable.

Is there going to be a way, other than quasilegal downloading and/or copying, for a significant number of people to see these unaired episodes? I'm curious how many people are going to be able to use this thread. I'm also against encouraging people to download or copy the episodes.

Wasn't there an issue a few months ago with a page where Joss had posted being picked up by google? I remember someone commenting on it when they tried googling someone's tagline and getting a thread page come up.

Anyone who's read a script may want to. A number of people had seen some of these before the show was cancelled. Tim has encouraged people to find the eps and watch them.

I think that ship has sailed.

Hil -- meta tags were added because of that.

Oh! I'd totally forgotten that. Thanks. Less confused now.

I'm in for the thread. Have seen and read scripts of some of the unaired eps and would love to discuss some of the funniest shit I've ever read.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I see the need for a WF spoiler thread. I'm a big ol' spoiler whore (even though I started avoiding WF spoilers for some unknown reason) and I can see people itching to discuss and hampered by the not having a thread to openly discuss them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My concerns, as always, are technical:

Would this invite a new influx?

Would this (either the new thread or the potential influx) put a strain on the board?

So far, it seems that the tech people are not worried. Is this correct? I'm very confused now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am, as always, against thread proliferation.

However, when a thread seems to be so much like the point of our board, it's almost like "Shall we have natter 24?"

There's my line. If we endorse show discussion, explicitly, my mental thread count has always been to accept a show thread and a spoiler thread.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My stand is with ita.

Because, yeah, this.
