we're closing the Veronica Mars thread....at some point.
One month after the DVDs came out: Nov. 23.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

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!

Including the recent spate of meta-discussion, it took since September 4 for the current thread to rack up 100 posts. FYI.
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Just because I'm doublepluspedantic.
With a good memory. Dang, woman!

What? There are furries around now?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Do we need a Furry thread?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If we get a Furry thread, I vote we also get a bondage thread! It's b.org canon...there's duct tape involved!
(I also first read that as a Fury thread, which is a whole 'nother, ahem, animal. I'd say forgive the pun, but I know Buffistas never forgive the pun.)
Anyway, what I came in to say was...
I would venture to guess most of us have Message Center bookmarked.
I think we've illustrated pretty well in the past that there is no One True Way of Buffista board usage, and while lots of people do use Message Center, there are lots that don't. Not that it's strictly relevant or helpful in this conversation.
As far as the issue at hand goes, I think it's important for board health that we are as willing to close threads as necessary as we are to open them. As necessary. Which, clearly, is open to some interpretation here.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
Bless--I loved the series, loved the movie, but I think that this putative newbie, well, they don't exist.
Hi, I exist. How many more are there? Eh beats me. I wasn't aware this many people didn't like the show. But it was what first brought me to Whedon's work. I went from Firefly to Buffy. No there isn't a constant stream of content all the time but that's not what matters.

C'mon, putting it elsewhere means it's just that much more scrolling through whitefonts about shows I dont' have time in my "don't yet own a TIVO" existence, hoping to find the occasional Firefly crumb. It can't be that hard to let there be another one. It's not keeping anything else from happening
Please let us keep our valley. It'd be swell. We'd even throw a party (most of the food would be made of protein though.)

If the people using the threads don't really want them any more, like the book club, then closing them makes sense. If they're still important to people, despite low traffic, I don't see the point of closing them.
