'War Stories'
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!
If a fervent Firefly fan stumbled upon us and needed to discuss Firefly and couldn't work out where...I don't know. Seems majorly unlikely, and not something to base a thread decision on. I mean, that's catering for the unspoken preference of someone who doesn't file it under sci-fi or a Tim work, and is looking to us to fill a fandom hole.
Bless--I loved the series, loved the movie, but I think that this putative newbie, well, they don't exist.

Well, they may or may not be important, but I think omnis just showed that they do exist (that is, that not long ago he was one of them). And, there are several non-newbies arguing for keeping the thread, so it's not just newbies vs. seasoned Buffistas.

No, what I mean is that making decisions on the part of newbies must be weighed against things like how prevalent they may be. Non-newbie reasons are separate.
Hmm. Why did I think that omnis came here by knowing people? ND, perhaps.
If someone came here to talk about Firefly, they're screwed because no one's talking about Firefly, not because the thread doesn't exist. Yes, they should have to slog through all the "rough" because that's where b.org exists, not in theory.
As we did for Smallville when the traffic got too sparse.
Smallville was part of the Big Boxed Set Roll Up of 0-whenever.
Not closed through normal or natural means. No, no. It became part of FRANKENTHREAD!
Ahem.
Just because I'm doublepluspedantic.
Including the recent spate of meta-discussion, it took since September 4 for the current thread to rack up 100 posts. FYI.

eta: tho, I must say, in the beginning, when I was very much overwhelmed with how many posts there are and trying to keep up on them all, Firefly was a light in the dark. I knew the topic, and it was easy to keep up on, and it was on topic.
we're closing the Veronica Mars thread....at some point.
One month after the DVDs came out: Nov. 23.

Threads moving at an equal or lower rate include Buffista Fic, Unamerican, Great Write Way, Sang Sacre, Other Media, Premium Cable, and Minearverse. It's not unusual around here.

With a good memory. Dang, woman!
