'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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!
Yeah, I think Movies and Music were more of a 3 than a 1.
As far as 2 goes, while I'm sorry that there were hurt feelings, I'm not sorry that Supernatural got its own thread. For all the reasons that were expressed at the time, I think it was ultimately a good thing for the board. So, yeah, if a similar situation presented itself, I would go through it again. What other option is there?

It is not my intention to stir up trouble, but I have to reply to this. I'm still waffling about whether or not it was a good thing for the board. I know that I am far less likely to try and start a conversation or make lots of posts about something I'm enthusiastic about, because I'm worried that someone will decide that the conversation is annoying and want to shunt me and my enthusiasm off to someplace where that they won't have to read it.
Does this mean I think there should be a gaming thread? Eh, I'm waffling about that, too. I can understand the reasons people want a separate thread. But I, like Plei, worry it will lead to further splintering of what I think of as the Buffista community.
Jilli is me.
Well, you know, I can't aspire to Jilli-ness. But the situation has changed my experience of, attitude toward, and relationship to B.org as a whole. Change is good, they say and also, I'm just one board member, so grains of salt, as needed.
And Beverly is me.
I agree with Jilli.
I have a very different relationship with the board these days. And that's my choice but it's not the choice I wanted to need to make.
My relationship to the board changed years ago. I didn't like it but I wasn't in the majority so I just went with it.
What is so different about the board now than compared to the golden age you all are talking about? I wasn't here then, and I'm curious to know what changed or was lost.
What do people feel is the ideal setup of the board?

My opinion: Buffy/Angel were still on the air.
For me it was boxed set systematically becoming the catchall thread for all the SF shows. I used to love to actually talk to people on the board about TV. Now I just don't. Bucket threads don't work for me. The love of bucket threads and cross pollination has cost me the ability to talk TV with some of my favorite folks. Yes I am bitter and sad about it and have been for years. I know that Boxed Set is the best thing ever for some. It is the worst thing ever for me. It totally altered my relationship to the board. So there you have it.
