Given the fact that there's been only a handful of postings per month in the LoTR thread, and there's no prospect of a Hobbit movie in the near future, and no word on any additional DVD releases, there's no real need to keep the thread around. Discussion can easily take place in Movies or Natter.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

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!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If there's no calendar for new activity, I vote close, but don't archive, so it can be reopened if there's anything that's going to provoke a flurry.
This is my take.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do brenda and Tom agree with each other, is the question...

It's a workable plan.

Our wings are not tired.
Haven't seen any objection to closing it yet. It was a cute thread title though.

Procedural question: Isn't the discussion here supposed to be announced in Press, or is that just when/if it comes to a vote?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Omission on my part, Frank.
Will rectify.

I'm okay with closing it. I suppose it's finally time to suck it up and admit that the movies were made, they were good, and now they're over.
Sad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I suppose it's finally time to suck it up and admit that the movies were made, they were good, and now they're over.
Spoken like a man who's already seen King Kong....
(Seriously though, I'm fine with closing it. I haven't checked the thread in weeks myself.)
