So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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!

"Having the site do it for you" would presumably take coding and therefore time. And with all work on the site done on a volunteer basis, it could take a while.

Ok, I volunteer to do it. I've got plenty of experience with PHP, plus time and the inclination to do the work.

But Eddie, there are other things in the queue that we've been waiting for and those should get done first.

So are you volunteering to take those on as well?

Okay. Here's the list: [link] I think they discuss what's what in BBaBB.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And the filtering idea does skeeve me. It feels like it turns the thread from a place of two-way interaction into a place of one-way interaction. Or one-and-a-half-way.

I need Liese.

It shouldn't. Essentially you're just creating virtual threads and the functionality would be no different than "real" threads.

Well, we're getting ahead of ourselves (and OT). If TPTB want to interview me for the job, I think BBaBB would be the place to do it. I guess I'll volunteer over there and we'll proceed accordingly.

I'm not such a fan of filtering.

Okay...so I'm reading through the discussion regarding a Fall TV/TV thread and I'm not sure how to summarize what I've read. Let me attempt it in search of other comments:

1) People interested in a TV Natter thread generally

2) People interested in just a Fall TV thread (which would cover debuts from this month, Sept and October

3) People not interested in either because it would be too many shows slammed in one thread.

Does this represent all expressed views so far?

Continuing on...if we had a "Fall TV" thread, what would people want to discuss in the thread? Exclusions? How long-lived would this thread be?

Would we want to have a 2nd season Winter TV thread as well?

Well, the thing with skeeving is that it just sort of happens. And I like the way the thread is now. I don't want it to change. I acknowledge that it doesn't work for some people, but it does work for some people. And I am those people. People who need people.
