Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

'Harm's Way'


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!

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.

A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness. Read our FAQ, then join the fun.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hi, I exist. How many more are there?

I thought you came because of the book...

What I meant was that we're rarely going to pop to the top of anyone's hunting for Firefly list. There are plenty of places that come to mind before us.

I dunno. I love the show more than most, but I don't think it is of sufficient mass to maintain a thread anymore.

Dunno what it would hurt.

Oh, said in such innocence...

I've been through a few kerfuffles here, and frankly, I "dunno what it would hurt either." Although, I do get your point, ita.
