(both)

So would I be right in saying that the primary reason, right now, for wanting new threads, is to facilitate the discussion about some shows, hopefully without whitefont, instead of the white font in Natter issue?

If so, I would add my voice to those people who want to wait a while before voting in order to see if Lost or the other shows have legs, and sustain a significant amount of interest for a few more episodes.

Just out of curiousity, how many people have been bothered by the whitefont in Natter thus far?

I tend to find the whitefont rather amusing. Even more so for the shows I don't watch.

The whitefont annoys me less than the blackfont on any given topic that annoys me.

I find it ignorable at worst, pretty entertaining at best. Especially the found poetry of the patchwork whitefont.

The issue I have is that some folks are of the position that the white fonted discussions in Natter are a feasible alternative to show-threads. For some of us they are not. I'm lucky if I can keep up in Natter for more than a day...so most discussions there are not something I can participate in. As others have pointed out, there are places like the TV section of TT, or other such forums, but I'd rather stay here. I love the b.org spicy minds.

I absolutely get the idea of waiting to see what shows have "legs", but the "Natter option" is not for everyone.

I haven't contributed to this discussion up until now because I didn't really have a solution to the one problem I have. I've thought about it, and I still have no solution, but here goes...

I guess I just don't see any other one show, in and of itself, as reaaching the level of having its own thread. Some of us are talking about Lost, Alias, VM, and so on, but not to the point where I've felt overwhelmed by it in Natter (that's just me). I've never watched OC and I have no idea where the Seth thing comes from, but it doesn't bother me since I just skim past it.

The idea of talking about a few shows in one thread doesn't seem workable (to me) and neither does the idea of having one TV thread (to me).

I know that I have no suggestions here, and I don't mind trying something new, but this idea is not something I'm crazy about. OTOH, I'm not actually opposed to it, so I'm not sure I'd even vote against it.

Just out of curiousity, how many people have been bothered by the whitefont in Natter thus far?

I'm a little bugged by it, and I'm resistant to having conversations in whitefont. I guess I feel like if we're going to have the conversation anyway, we ought to have it somewhere where we can actually have it instead of making it invisible.

It's not a problem I feel desperately needs solving, though. I'd be generally for show-specific threads, but then on the Buffista Thread-Creation Kinsey Scale I'm well to the "sure, make more threads!" end, so.

As a person who watches nearly everything on time delay, I'm less bothered by white-font in Natter and more bothered by the inability to participate in show discussions because I missed the window during which they were discussed. In devoted threads, that window never closes.
