I feel like ita, but Steph's logic is compelling. Fine by me.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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!

If there are people who will use the thread and want to keep it open (and several of them have already spoken up), then I don't see any pressing reason to take it away from them.
Me too.

I feel like ita, too; I think the thread should be closed, and Firefly discussion moved where it will.
But I was just trying to understand why some people are so attached to the thread, and I get it. (I don't agree, but I get it.)

Uh, isn't that what we did with SPN?
I'm not trying to open up a can of kerfluffle, but that's pretty much what we did with SPN. The SPN fans said, "We like it in Boxed Set!" but we ("we" meaning "the majority of those who voted") still said, "We hear you, but sorry, you don't get it the way you want it."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know I lack magic in my heart, but I can't imagine being sentimental about a thread, let alone one I don't even have anything to say in. And also I don't think Firefly is more of our identity than Smallville or LoTR-- both of which fostered active communities for a time, and both of which we let go without a lot of fanfare.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That wasn't a dedicated thread. The Supernatural discussion was impacting other users of the thread (and I don't mean that in any kind of negative way, and I'm still really twitchy about SPN people being upset, so please don't be upset, because I love you all).
Firefly is a thread that has no other use.

Well, I don't read Boxed Set, but my interpretation of that discussion was more like trying to fit two sweaters into one drawer where there wasn't really room.

Hey, man...if you want to destroy this sweater, just hold this thread while I walk away.
eta: Sorry. Couldn't help it. I love that song. And it says "thread." Hee.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
The SPN fans said, "We like it in Boxed Set!" but we ("we" meaning "the majority of those who voted") still said, "We hear you, but sorry, you don't get it the way you want it."
Though, by the end of the discussion, a lot of the SPN fans had changed to wanting their own thread, in order to put the issue to bed.
I'm not in favor of future Firefly discussion getting swallowed up. (Gotta say, I suggested it as a joke, but a "Brilliant But Cancelled" thread might be neat... of course, then you run the risk of being spoiled for shows you haven't watched, but might intend to watch in the future. See: me and Veronica Mars.)
