Hence my point about the foldering...

Ok, maybe I'm not understanding. Can someone explain to me the foldering and what the benefit would be?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I wanted to oppose the TV folder because I don't get why it's necessary-- not that that's not on the table per se, but VM's not generating a lot of heat-- but it would make no difference in my life since I use the message center. So I'm gonna be zen about it and say however ita wants to be organized is fine.

No issues with having a VM thread. Seems like the fans here are growing in number and the show is talky fodder, from what I've seen (back half of S1).

Pro-foldering - neat and tidy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that boxed set is fairly active but that VM doensn't really fit in the group of shows regularly discussed in Boxed Set.

I was responding to Betsy wanting an active TV show thread. Someone pointed out we have one. I was pointing out we have two.

bon, the front page looks like gibberish. Just a bunch of interests thrown at the screen. The information (lack of ) architecture pains me.

Oh, I miss it too. I'm catching up bit by bit, but it's not the same...

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

Where does Minearverse fit in the TV Folder idea? Is it in the TV Folder?

I just don't use the front page. I guess there's an argument that architecture will affect how we psychologically compartmentalize the community-- it kinda did in WX-- but message center obviates any organization. I would plead not to compartmentalize message center.

Now that I'm thinking about it-- sorry, hazard of the job-- I can see how it would affect my use of threads I'm NOT subscribed to. Some threads I would probably never click on unless I saw they had new posts when I used the front page. But again, the risk is a bit contingent to raise an issue about it.

Are you asking about the OT/ness that is my head? Minearverse isn't a show thread to me, so I wasn't thinking of it that way.

I've been loving the fact that the closed thread folder has moved threads out of my general daily view somewhere else.

I like the idea of all the TV threads living together in a folder because easier to find, or to ignore... would the angel/buffy threads be there too?

Foldering doesn't do that.

Some threads I would probably never click on unless I saw they had new posts when I used the front page.

And some threads I know exist I have to ^F to find on the damned page -- I think it goes both ways.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't watched VM, yet. The enthusiasm for the show around these parts have put it on my "when I get a chance" viewing list. I favor a place for the VMiacs to discuss the show.

Not sure where I sit on the TV folder thing. I'm happy enough with the way the threads are organized now. I'll listen to the pros and cons on that one.
