I'm happy to keep SPN where it is, FWIW. I like the feel of Boxed Set.
And no, not a SPN watcher myself. But maybe one day...

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!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Is that any different from how the LotR threads got started?
Yeah. This is how those got started:
Bon Bon:
Um. I know thread overload is a problem, but I nevertheless have a thread suggestion. In the next week, we know natter will be overtaken by TTT, especially during Joss show hiatus. Some of us won't be able to watch it the very first day, so people will have to whitefont, and others taking time off for the holiday won't catch all the discussion. And I know last year I would have loved to see all the comments in one place. Is there any interest--even by those with *no* interest in it, and who would prefer a hobbit-free natter holiday-- in an LOTR thread?
Which is a whole different vibe, to me.

I don't think it's being "pushed out" so much as now that the anti-proliferationistas have given up any hope, the YAYnewthreadistas are looking for any likely looking candidates.

That's not the feeling I've had in the thread when it's come up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me either, at all.

To echo Plei and Lee, that's not the feeling I've gotten when this has come up before.
I think SPN should stay in Boxed Set. It fits the parameters of Boxed Set perfectly, and I don't think it generates any more conversation than Dr. Who or The Dresden Files or even BSG did.

Well, I'll certainly defer to the feelings of those who watch the show.
I assume from the talk that it wasn't an SPNer who made the proposal, and that in and of itself feels off to me.
(Also, just to be clear, I'm not arguing for it to go as I think it fits where it is and I'm not partial to new threads.)

One made the actual proposal, but not the in thread suggestion of one.
Also, outside of a mixed area, it's way harder to press-gang y'all into the Supernatural Zombie Army.

Our wings are not tired
Huh. I didn't even know this was being a problem in boxed set but I'm a fan of single show threads and am finally working my way through Supernural so I'm in favor of this.
