Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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!
I'm not quite sure I understand, but why does the limited existence of a VM thread have an effect on whether people decide to vote for new threads? Regardless, the VM thread's time is short. Giving people some time to wrap up discussion doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Whatever, voting will happen soon. My complaint is only that I think this proposal was premature.
My complaint is only that I think this proposal was premature.I'm sorry it feels that way. It felt the opposite to me, like we were dragging our feet, and VM is one of my favorite shows, ever. The series finale aired May 22. Since May 23, there's only been 70 posts. They were pretty light where topic is concerned, too.

Stompies, I don't know how much I'll be around today/tomorrow. If I don't post in this thread again about this ballot, the following ballot wording is fine by me:
This proposal is to close the Veronica Mars thread.
Item 1: Do you want to close the Veronica Mars thread?
yes
no
no preference
Item 2: If the board votes to close the Veronica Mars thread, when should it close?
Immediately
One month after the season 3 DVDs are released
no preference
We don't want to create and keep a million threads-- it taxes our resources and changes our character. There's little to no discussion of the show in there now, and I think only two people have indicated an intent to discuss something that will occur in the future. That's enough evidence to close a thread on.
Then I think it's fine to close it now, and any post-DVD discussion can land where it lands.

sure. but it isn't like we are talking about creating a new thread. It is a thread that was already created. are there truly a lot of resources being taxed by this one thread that is already there?
I get that there is a cadre of people who are tired of the thread and want to move on. That's okay. I am just not convinced by other lines of argument. That's all.

Yeah, this is what I don't get. Is it doing any harm simply by existing?
Voting starts tomorrow. Who wants to count?
I'm happy to.
Great! ita -- please point votes@ to Jesse.

Man, really need to get that poll module written.
