Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
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!
We are on a dedicated server.
We are looking at being able to change the system so we don't need to be on a dedicated server for the long haul.
I don't think we should lock ourselves into a dedicated server until someone wins the lottery and takes care of our charges in perpetuity.
I didn't realize this. I thought it was along the more general tv thread line, and that we were going to judge from what was hot, to see if we wanted any new threads dedicated to any specific show.
I don't know that I'll vote for a rec thread. I am not usually anti, but it seems to me we already sort of rec in Natter, when we post about our shows. I could see having such a conversation here, if a proposal was so crafted. What I mean by that is, if someone proposed we have a new thread dedicated to a show, and we voted on (say): The OC, Alias, 24, Joan of Arcadia, Whatever-Show, and gave the winner a thread.
The only advantage I see is that it's an archive of sorts: unlike Natter, you can go to the thread a month later and find the recommendations when you want them.
I have no opinion on this. It may be the first time ever.
I always wanted a recs mechanism for all media, sort of like where the fic recs live, but more organized. Cause I never could go back and figure out which books/movies/albums I was supposed to check out but never did back when we were having the conversation. Suppose this would be something like that for the teevee.
Like crack_van, for TV?
I just don't see the point.
Sounds OK in theory, but I don't think it will work in practice, since

Of course, given how the networks are treating shows these days, the interesting show mentioned a month ago might be cancelled.
Maybe what we want/need isn't a recs thread, but something actually more like the links page-- something automated where a buffista could add the name of the show/book/movie and their recommendation? So it is an archive rather than discussion? Of course, we would actually have to do it, or have someone who wants to Nilly the recs out of the respective threads.
I am leaving so I can't discuss...
I'd rather see a general TV thread than a recs-only thread. Recs with no discussion sounds too hard to maintain, and it would make it difficult to converse because you'd have to take your response (and you know we'd have them) to another thread -- probably Natter - and hope the original poster found it.
