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.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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!

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.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.
Fair point. Perhaps I just require knitwear metaphors for things to make sense to me.

You know we'd spend three months arguing about what constitutes "brilliant."

We'd probably argue about what constitutes "cancelled"....

And what counted as "aired."

Well, as someone who liked, but did not love, Firefly, I have no problem getting rid of it. But, there are a lot of people who had/have great love for the show, so I would respect their love for the show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know why I feel like it makes a difference, but I do, that it's not a question of closing down a thread, it's a question of not making a new thread when the current one hits 10,000. I know it's the same result, but somehow it feels different in my head. I think because a thread with 50 posts sitting in it feels sadder than one with 8000, even if there aren't a lot of new ones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's part of it for me, Jesse. The poor little thread with barely any traffic doesn't feel right to me--it's sadder than no thread at all, since it's highlighting how done Firefly is.
