I'd rather close and archive an ME-specific thread and open a new one. To me, it's tidier, keeping all ME together and all non-ME elsewhere. It wouldn't affect the active board, right? Since there would be the same number of threads on the "read new" list?
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

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!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Our wings are not tired.
Thread closings not bunched makes more sense.
On the spoilers I always figured the Ho's were spoiled on all shows, but I can't speak to that and would be fine with more than one spoiler thread if that was preferred by the impure more thoroughly researched.

If there's a Lost thread at all, why wouldn't it be open immediately?
OC isn't really that far off and promos are beginning to appear, so I'm not sure why we'd put that off either.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think as long as there is a proviso that Lost thread would be closed in the event of the show-cancellation (which seems highly unlikely, as it apparently ranked #9 among all programs last week), it should be reasonable to open the thread immediately if the motion passes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
(Please? Be back at it? I'm dying for spoils and I don't even watch any of these shows!)
I have Alias spoilers.
Apropos of nothing.

What is even happening?
Spoiler companions who are reading this discussion, would it bother you if a new (whatever kind of) spoiler thread was all white font? I'm likely to just be a lemming on this. Spoiling just doesn't bother me, and from lots of time reading the old Bronze linear, where there was no spoiler font, but also no separate thread for spoilers, I am actually decent at skipping over stuff I don't want to read.

I can companion with the lights off or on. I'm versatile that way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't mind the whitefont in Natter or elsewhere, but I think if I were in a spoiler thread, it would bug, which is why I would vote for separate spoiler threads.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I can companion with the lights off or on.
I would hope so. You go through most of your life with them off, anyway.
Plllbbbtt.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Wonderfalls and Firefly are both canceled shows that have threads. What is the reasoning behind not including them as closeable on the ballot?
