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.

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!

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?

Whitefont's not my favorite thing, but I could learn to deal.
I think I'd prefer to have one big spoiler thread than lots of little ones, even if it meant dealing with whitefont.

JMO, and I'm not a participant in either right now, but there are imminent movie/DVD releases that justify them for me. The shows are only mostly dead.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Wonderfalls doesn't have its own thread; it's part of Minearverse. Which is still open b/c of his upcoming movie, yes? (I don't know, b/c I'm not subbed to that thread.)
Firefly isn't closed b/c of the movie, I thought. (Also not subbed to that thread.)
