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.

Anti-prolif as I am, I'm not averse to Wonder Falls having its own thread. He's not just a grad, he's a poster.

Of course, if I had any intention of watching any of the other shows, I might have a different opinion, so consider this my disclaimer.
Speaking of closure, although it's fun to play in I think it's time the Firefly Spoiler thread was closed. IJS.
Also, I think a general Post Graduate thread is a good idea, and if one show seems to be dominating or what-not it can always get spun-off at a later date.
"Previously, on Buffy" to me is specifically to discuss repeats (especially with our UnAmerican Friends) and it was creted to keep stuff out of the regular Buffy thread. I think we only need one thread (unless we need to keep lite for any spin-off info?), but I would [prefer it not be called "Previously" becuase it makes me sad.
I don't think the Canadians should lose their thread, as they also use it for personal discussions and planning.

Three shows haven't aired yet, and they'll be available in the UK before the US, so spoilers are a very real part of the future.
And, let me assure you, we will troll around dropping hints and smirking.
We haven't had a new thread for, say, Fastlane or Stargate, just because they have a lot of watchers (well, Stargate does) and a lot of HoYay!--they're just discussed in the DS:MFA thread, where the excess HoYay! from Smallville spilled over.
Ah. See, I'm not in those threads, so I wouldn't know that. Good point that all the TV threads we have that aren't ME are threads started on WX.
I can't imagine us not taking a strong interest in shows by ME, and/or former ME writers.
Agreed.
Actually, given how little TV I watch, it's unlikely I'd ever go into any of these threads (unless every review was that it was The!Greatest!Show!Evah! and it was on at a good time for me to watch). So I should probably cede this discussion to people who are more likely to participate.

See my post a few back on this subject. I agree in general, but there are a few considerations - mainly UnAms and the unaired episodes. At any rate, eventually, we should be able to make do with one Ff thread.

It's too early to discuss it anyhow, since we don't know the schedule. However, if the majority of Canadians are anti-proliferation (I have no idea), and schedule-based spoilage isn't an issue next season (who knows), I'd like to hear what the Canadians say about it.
Personally, I've wondered for a while whether the Due South and Smallville threads shouldn't be combined into a general HoYay thread. If we're looking at stuff.
Although, most of the Stargate talk goes on in Due South, and that's not really HoYayish.
Fandom TV?
Depending on the US and Canadian broadcast schedules for Angel (may it air forever, or at least a couple of more seasons), we might be able to close Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness, too.
Okay. That just sent shivers down my spine. The Bitches have self-determination. Why can't we?

I proposed this at the time we first moved over here, and there was a fair bit of opposition on the part of some Smallvillains. Since then, the thread has really slowed down, though, so it may not be a problem now.
