Buffistas

This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Closed Threads

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

IIRC, we picked 10,000 as a convenient point for threadbreaking, since we can't go on with one thread forever and anyway we're addicted to naming. But it's not like the way it works at WX, where the thread cuts off automatically whether we want it to or not.

Why not do "Taking a moment..." until the last ep airs across the US, even if it goes over 10,000 posts, and then start "Grr Arrrgh" as soon as it's over?

But, but, but that means not all the treads will be the same size when they are archived! Can this be allowed? :-)

Actually, that sounds like a good idea. Also, I think the thread should be "Taking a moment", with the "Grr, Arrgh" saved for after the end of the series.

ION, I now support "Big Damn Evil, Sir" for the Angel thread.

Up with the sun

We have 2,500 posts left, which is almost 2 episodes by Julie's table. So probably the finale will be in the next thread.

3000 posts/ep seems really optimistic to me -- that's over 400/day, which I think is a lot even for Natter.

And I like "She saved the World a Lot" better than "Taking a moment" for Buffy 4, especially since we used the Oz line for a Natter thread on WX.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I think ita recently automated the 10,000 post cutoff but I could be wrong.

"Taking a moment"

but.. but.. butt :) I don't like the set up, I like the bang.

"... and we're done"

But I also like "grrr argh"

(which is, as Cindy said, a lovely coda. Such a grown up expression for my own poor twisted "exclamation" explanation!)

Nobody

(I stole it from Joss, because that's what he called Restless. I'm no more growed up than ever. t /natter )

I'd rather see "She saved the world. A lot." For after Grr Arrrgh, after it's dead and buried, so to speak.

Putting in a vote for Grr Arrgh! It's the One True Thread Title.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I think the slug on the "Grr Arrgh" thread should be "...and we're done."

Also, Big Damn Evil, Sir. Please.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I like Grr...Argh. I like Big Damn Evil, Sir.

(especially since we did Taking a Moment and We're Done for Natter 30 on WX).
