If memory serves, I think she was calling herself "Cindy." She's a tricksy one!
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aha!
Okay, now I'm pretty sure she's Beverly's sock puppet.

Bitch cabal! Whoo! The Midnight Consensers Whut Consense At Midnight! Good times, good times.
Honestly (and trust me, you'll never hear these words from my lips again (okay, at least not until it's appropriate)), if we were going to add individual show threads, Drive and Eureka seem like the naturals because we have the MyNear and CFerg. And because they have sort of different feels from their surrounding threads.

We're in yur board, naming yur threads.
Sorry, remembering with Liese.
I'm leaning towards a small(ish) bucket with blackfont. I've spoiled myself for things, yeah, but it doesn't bother me that much. But I re-read books all the time, too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Cindy is proposing something else entirely to figure out how to deal with the TV issue since it comes up frequently.
My understanding is that Cindy is proposing something to figure out what shows generate/sustain discussion. Figuring out how to deal with the TV issue may follow. I could, however, be wrong.
I'm totally wondering why we're not discussing having a Drive thread
I've been assuming Minearverse to be the home of Drive because (1) it fits the thread description and (2) that's where Tim will talk about it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I hate to adopt a tone of "you had to be there" but it strikes me that Sean's concerns about "faux democracy" and Cindy's concerns about consensus arise (at last in part) because they weren't active when we hammered out our procedures.
Hahaha! Dude, Cindy was certainly here, and I'm pretty sure Sean had delurked by then.
Good times, good times.

Yeah. I'd agree with this.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I heard my name and I appear. I have no dog in this hunt; I'm just waiting for the dust to settle and the signposts to go up to tell me where I go to talk about what.
From reading along, it seems if we want everybody to be happy, every show that anybody watches, ever, should have its own thread for those who don't have time to keep up in the express threads, and don't want to be spoiled for the shows they plan to watch, sometime, but haven't yet. And then we need buckets for people who like talking about more than one show of a similar stripe, and Boxed Set for mediafannish discussion of shows that fit that frame.
Or we go with Sean's suggestion to bar tv discussion altogether, thus disappointing everyone equally.
My dream is a thread where there's no disturbing whitefont, ever, and another where people can discuss dvd'ed shows of any description without impeding discussion of currently-running shows. So see, I'm no angel about all this. Nor Angel, either.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Nor Angel, either.
Course not. You aren't broody enough.

So one would be an "EST: Let the Poster Beware", any-show-for-itself blackfont thread and the other would be "Backlog: If it's the Current Season, Take it Elsewhere" thread. Of course both those fall into the dreaded general TV category, but I kinda like the idea(s).
