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!

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

Do I have to put in whether I want it to be NAFDA, or is that a dirty trick at this point?

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

That would be good.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What ita said. Specific is good. Uber-serious? Not so important.

Is that clear enough? I have a headache and there is construction with a drill and hammer pounding in the office across the hall and I had to pull my brain out to survive.

OK, I put together the ballot. I changed a couple of words in it to make it a tiny bit more proposal-ey. If there are no objections, it'll go live in about 4 hours:

Proposal: That we add a new thread to the TV and Film Discussion Folder specifically dedicated to HBO and Showtime original programming, series, and specials.

The tentative title is Boxed Set Premium, with the description specifying that it is for HBO/Showtime.

The thread shall be designated as NAFDA.

The Press announcement is up:

Voting Has Begun!

And with that, I close this thread.

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

Starting the discussion of a proposal by Theodosia to add a new thread for the discussion of Heroes. Original proposal is here:

Theodosia "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Feb 28, 2007 5:45:22 am PST

I'd be curious to see how much traffic an episode of Supernatural, Heroes, or BSG generates. Because of the SG torrents, I don't think either of them peg the meter. Oh, Eureka too, really.

I'm curious to know what about Heroes makes it a candidate, since I don't get a rationale other than "I like/dislike Heroes more than the other stuff, and I don't want to scroll through the thread to find/avoid it".
