He's so fanboy he quotes the show in his thread titles.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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!

Can I make a plea to keep the "shall we have a TV folder" discussion/vote separate from "shall we have a VM thread"? ita, I'm right in saying there's no technical issue with moving a VM thread into any future TV folder, neh?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You are correct, Jim.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Just showing up to wave a big Veronica Mars Yay! flag. I seem to remember that it came in a close second to a Lost thread back when we voted, and interest in it has only grown. I'd certainly be an enthusiastic participant....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They are separate issues. I wasn't trying to conflate them, just roundaboutly bring up the idea that I think this thread is the one after the breaking of the camel's back, and it's bigger than just "I want a thread to discuss my thing in" -- it's back to the who are we and how do we handle who we are discussion.
For me.
I dislike the adding adding adding without the reorganisation. Organic's only going to get you so far.

FWIW, I'd be fine with a TV folder - I know what you mean about the number of threads on the homepage - and if you propose that I'll second it, certainly. After I get my VM thread...

Ann, that's a ferret.
Question about the folder -- would a poster be able to subscribe to individual threads within a folder, or would it be an all-or-nothing deal (like WX was)?
I'd have no problem with a folder as a housekeeping matter, but I'd feel differently if it affected the ability to subscribe.

t OT All that would change would be that the threads would be grouped and listed off the front page t /OT

So if you had new messages in a thread in the tv folder, would you be able to see it from the message center? Or would you have to open the tv folder first to see that there are new messages there?

Let's not derail this discussion with folder functionality -- this discussion belongs in the BBaBB++ folder -- want to reask there?
