Would it be appropriate for me to make a mention in Boxed Set itself that we're now considering breaking out Heroes for its own thread. It's possible that some of the regulars there might have missed that there's a discussion afoot.

I've bookmarked the end of the last discussion, so that I can crib the formal Vote resolution, so I will be ready to post it tomorrow.

(This is the first time I've ever been the proposer of a Vote here (or anywhere else) so I'm just slightly terrified of doing it All Wrong.)

Theo, yes, I'd mention the discussion in Boxed Set.

From waaaaay back:

Frankly, I think that if any show should get it's own thread, it's BSG. Perhaps I only "notice" the number of posts because I don't watch it, while I do watch and want to read about Heroes.

It strikes me that it might be a good exercise to take a poll of which shows Buffistas actually watch, because it's entirely possible that a few vocal fans of one show are discouraging people from talking about another.

Mind, out of the shows actively being discussed on the board, I only actively watch Heroes and Veronica Mars, although I'm catching up on Dr. Who and Smallville.

Heh, Victor, I was thinking as I've been reading along that I'd love to see a poll about who's watching what and how they'd prefer to talk about it - mostly just out of my own curiosity, really, not necessarily as any kind of deciding tool. Then I was afraid someone would make me set it up, so I... just kept reading.

Boxed Set works for me the way it is, and I like it the way it is, so I know that colors my opinions, though I'm not still not entirely sure what they are. t /unhelpful

If we're going to do a poll we might want to also find out when people watch stuff: broadcast, timeshifted, DVD.

From library public computer (had to bring 91-year old spry, with-it Mom to check her email):

I do think it is worth noting that shows that do have that mediafannishness--House, FNL, The Office, Grey's--could potentially be discussed in a way that is accessible to people who either don't do Natter, or for situations not unlike mine can't participate in Natter discussion. .... I'm in a unique situation.

SA is me in that I would like to talk about those shows & more, would be likely to try to do so if they are somewhere besides warp-speed instant-computer-gratification Natter.

Theo: A reminder that we will need final wording of your proposal by Sunday morning.

Okay, cribbing pretty closely from the last Vote Proposal:

Proposal: That we add a new thread to the TV and Film Discussion Folder specifically dedicated to Heroes.

The tentative title is We Could Be Heroes, with the description specifying that it is for discussion of the TV series and ancillary materials such as web comics.

The thread shall be designated as NAFDA.

The Press announcement is up:

Voting Has Begun!

And with that, I close this thread.
