Atlantic Canadian here. I think the only people I would discuss closing our thread with are other Atlantic Canadian posters and admin people. It shouldn't be a global discussion.

While I'm opposed to closing it (separate culture, not really a show thread per se, lots of history), I don't think any subcommunity discussion should exclude the community at large. Period.

That goes for Bitches as well, or PPO.

There wasn't a global discussion about setting it up to set it up. We asked for it to be created at TT, it followed us to WX and was created here for continuity. Our thread is low traffic but important to us so we should have the right of self-determination to decide its fate, just like the posters to the Bitches thread.

But the same goes for all the threads that migrated here from anywhere. PPO, Smallville, Spoilage, etc.

Again, I think that removing ACMM is out of the question, but I disagree with the notion of individual threads being removed from the community decision making process.

That's fair enough. I figured Monday Madness would be needed for Angel, if it continues next season. I always considered it a "spoiler" thread for those who had seen the show the day before to be able to watch and post. Has it evolved into a subcommunity within Buffistas like Bitches?

Oh, yeah. It's totally a subcommunity for our wacky Atlantic Canadians.

What PMM said. And honestly, I'm rather taken aback by the hostility of the responses. It's hardly like we have a history of closing down threads against the posters' wills.

And as such, I would not expect to be a participant in their demise. Who am I to say that the Due South thread, of which I never post in, nor do I understand its purpose, should exist here or not?

As a Buffista, your input counts.

I really think it was just mistakenly entered in a list of redundant buffy threads that could be merged to one, as they were show threads. As soon as I pointed out that it was also a personal thread for Atlantic Canadians, there was really no more talk of it.

And honestly, I'm rather taken aback by the hostility of the responses.

I think it's just survival instinct. Folks are passionate about certain threads, and are upset that anyone would want to discuss amputation.

Who am I to say

A Buffista. You're part of the community that houses the subcommunity. I think it's perfectly alright to question the validity of any thread, here, in the course of a spring cleaning discussion. All I had to hear was a voice saying, "Hey, I still post there, we may be small but we're still active and will continue to be active." Then I think that thread is off thetable for consolidation or closing, unless we notice that only four people are posting there for the next six months about, say, technology issues. Then I think there's a fair argument that the thread is obsolete, and keeping it is just packratting.

Who am I to say that the Due South thread, of which I never post in, nor do I understand its purpose, should exist here or not?

Also, because the Buffista admins do "The will of the people", every Buffista is an admin and can discuss things. But no one is seriously discussing closing the thread.

To move on, it seems like we should close Spoilers Lite (Buffy), and if there is any casting news about a spin-off it can go in Angel Spoilers Lite. We should merge previously and the current Buffy thread. We could close or merge the Quotables (Buffy) thread-- either with the Angel Quotes or the nely merged Buffy thread.

I only read Smallville, but some people have made the suggestion of merging Due South with Smallville and adding other "Fandom TV"-- so it would be the place to talk about Sports Night or Stargate and other shows like that.

We are not ditching Firefly-- so I think those are our only options right now.
