Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Why wouldn't we keep the Previously thread?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I mean, I hate to say it, but we may not have a great interest in all the shows.

I thought that too, msbelle. I figured that the most interest would be in Tim's work, and my heart is in supporting Minear with his own speshul show thread, and then a general ME writers thread.

One problem is that ME writers have gone off on a lot of other shows now that I think of it. Jane-Gilmore, Shawn-The Shield, Des Hotel-That 70s Show, Marti-that scifi channel thingy, and then I expect we'll get several others going off to new places.

One thread could hold them all, "Where do we go from here?"

Another problem is that this could end up being a general teevee thread, and I believe there was great resistance to that.

Well the Previously thread would stay, but the NAFDA thread would go, yes?

Or like Cindy said, one big morph into a general Buffy thread.

Or am I misunderstanding the differentiation?

Oh, I like the Graduate Studies title.

Would we want a Graduate Studies Spoiler thread? I think our Spoiler Whores will want to continue their wicked ways.

eta: I think this is more housekeeping than thread proliferation, now that I've read Cindy's post. I forgot how many threads were dedicated to Buffy...but if Angel gets renewed, than the Spoiler threads will be kept as is, correct?

Is Jane doing Gilmore Girls, the Jesse spinoff, or both?

Up with the sun

Were we thinking just one thread for all the 'graduates' or one per graduate?

I like the idea of starting with just the one thread, spinning it out if specific shows take over the thread.

Quesion -- what will the spoiler rules be? It would be irritating if we had to whitefont pretty much every discussion.

Nobody

Once everyone sees the finale, there's no need for more than one general Buffy (not General Buffy) thread. I kind of hate to see it all called Previously because of the idea that fiction lives on, and when you refer to a book, you alway say, "the author writes" not "wrote". I'd just like to see it carry on the NAFDA numbering, too, because I'm HAVING A HARD TIME DEALING WITH LETTING GO. *cough*

Plei's right about the hard-core spoilers thread; we won't get rid of that, as long as Angel lives. We'll just change the name. I have no preference as to whether we get rid of the BtVS quote thread or not, but we probably should think about it.

I think that if it has aired, we shouldn't need to white-font. It'll get too complicated otherwise.

t edit Thanks Allyson.
