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.)
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.
(The label in the sweater said "100%...*acrylic*.")

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.
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.
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.
OK, here's a question: can we take away the post limit on that thread?

This is how I feel about it.
