Lyra, I just want to mention that I think you've done a great job with this proposal so far. And that I will vote for the Lost thread because I want somewhere I can talk about the show without necessarily having to watch it exactly when it airs, for closing Previously and Angel Spoilers because they're useless at this point, and abstain on the closing of Quotables and the creation of the OC thread because I don't really care one way or the other.

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!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I have been a mostly lurking member of the Spoilers threads, and I like spoilers for all shows. In my case, I even spoil myself for ends of books. So I personally would like a general Spoilers thread without whitefont.

Katie speaks for me.
A general spoilers thread without whitefont just seems problematic to me - you'd have to go all or nothing on being spoiled, wouldn't you? I'd prefer a general thread to separate threads, but I do think it would have to be mostly whitefont.

Third, because I haven't posted in or read either since Wonderfalls was canceled, so I have very little knowledge of what's going on in them. If someone who does post in them proposes that they be archived, I'd probably vote for it, but I wouldn't feel right about proposing it myself.
Just to clarify, I think Allyson meant the Lovesick thread and not the Minearverse thread when she suggested closing Wonderfalls.

Is there anyone here who objects to that though? So far, I think that all the spoiler whores who've posted about it have said that they don't care.

Ah. See, I don't think I've *ever* read Lovesick, so I forgot we still had it. Anyhow, same thing applies -- I'm not going to propose eliminating a thread I don't know well.
(Plus, isn't it needed until the Wonderfalls DVDs are out?)

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

I guess. It opened April 16th, clocked a little over 600 posts, and hasnt had a post since August 18th. Looks dead, to me. Why couldn't Wonderfalls be discussed in Minearverse? How long is a DVD series a spoiler? Is there even a demand for it?
Is this a separate proposal and I'm just clogging up the works?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I had a brief stint of spoiled for Angel and not for Buffy. So selective spoilage happens, but I don't think it's particularly common. Oh, and so not an issue for me, personally, now.

Trust my rage
This may be separate, but maybe Lovesick will be the perfect example of a thread needed for a short while that we later closed once the need for it disappeared.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I probably wouldn't go into a spoiler thread myself, but just want to note that nobody seems to object to the trend in Natter of posting the name of the show at the top of the whitefont. The same practice could work for people who want to be spoiled for some shows, but not for others.
