The previous proposal is now resuming, as of August 11th.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So connie, I know you're keen on pushing ahead with the vote but I'm just going to ask that you hold off until we get the poll results.
My vote will depend on what we glean from the poll.
I ask in part because I think it would suck to have to put this question off for six months if we find out that there's a strong majority of people who just want to create single show threads.

I'm just going to ask that you hold off until we get the poll results.
And how long after you get the poll results will you want to wait to analyze the information? How long is enough time to mull then?
I want something in place before the beginning of the season, if this passes. What's the general date of the premieres?

Seems like many things are starting the week of September 22nd.

The Futon Critic has a fall schedule grid with season premiere dates.

I'm opening to a postponement of the resolution if there's a definitive timeline. When are the poll results due? Will the discussion of the results happen here or in Bureaucracy?
I'm honestly expecting the poll to come down to "well, I don't really mind which way we go," with a smaller subsection of "if we do it this way, things improve/go to hell", which pretty much matches what I've seen in the world.
I don't want to pre-discuss the results, but I'd like people to consider if their preferences are actually going to change depending on what that poll says.
I'd like something decided one way or another before mid September, if that's when premieres begin. House and Bones (my personal concerns--and on the same night, woot!) are coming out on Sept. 17.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The issue that I would want discusses, personally, is whether we're going to stick with the one thread idea, or try to break it up into sub-threads. I don't know if anyone's mind's (most importantly, connie's, since it's her prerogative) going to be changed on that from where they are now, though.

You mean different threads for different timezones? Or a thread for each of the major networks vs. one all network drama thread?

Our wings are not tired.
There was some concern over the bucket being too big. Although the people using the temporary thread didn't seem to think so.
