Damn, Gandalfe, and here I just sent you my mix CD a couple of days ago.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.
'Never Leave Me'
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'm a lumper not a splitter. Which is like being a lover not a fighter, with much less in the way of Jheri-curl.
Despite the universes being somewhat estranged as they went along, I think it makes sense.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If the vote is to combine, what would we do with the current Angel thread? Would that be renamed as the combined thread, or would we close and archive it?

I think the plan is to close and archive.

Angel 5 would be closed and archived. I'll add that to my proposal.

Actually, I already say that:
PROPOSED: that we close the existing Buffy and Angel threads.

Yeah, well, you didn't say archived, and the Buffy thread is already closed and okay, maybe I skimmed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
While I suppose one might get a little discusion traction and more show-related posting by combining the two threads, I'd rather keep them separate. I don't think that's driven by nostalgia so much as just thinking they're separate and distinct entities. We wouldn't consider folding in Firefly because it's another 'verse, but Buffy & Angel really are so tonally different that they feel more distinct than commmon. I don't think there's a compelling usage issue to trim away one thread.
I also kind of hate the idea of looking at asscaps, misspelling and an ExclamBar all the time. You know, unless Rio's pretty face is on the other side of a post.

I can't even.
Uh, wow. Okay, I have thoughts. They may be slightly drunk thoughts (how to survive Employee Recognition Day, spend it drunk on your boss' tab). I would prefer to continue with separate threads, but I could be tempted, if and only if, the buffynangle4evah!!11!! thing is implemented. Grammar hatahs, like whatever, the esteemed buffynangle4evah thing is totally fandom canon, so it gets a walking pass from this prescriptivist.
Okay, as I was, or as you were. The one of those that applies.

Don't really mind combining the two threads, but the title makes me want to heave.
