I think you could make a three in one proposal-- although the "Who we are" discussion should probably happen. I just don't think we'll ever agree. we're basically here to discuss what we're here to discuss.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

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.

I like the idea of a Who are We and What is this place discussion, but I also think it may send me screaming for the hills. We are different things to almost everyone here. Change is a comin and it ain't gonna be pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My main concern is, where does it stop? Are we going to have a Matrix thread? An Alias thread? A mystery book thread?

Well Big Brother 4 is starting up soon.

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
Where do you think limitations should be set, Jesse? I think the same thing, grateful as I am for the LotR thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see any simple justification for, say, an Alias thread and not a TAR thread, or a Coupling thread, or whatever. They all seem out of scope to me, despite what's been grandfathered in.
Shows by ex-ME people, different, though. But how "by" is "by"? Writes for? Show runs? Created?

joking aside, I think we are once again at the question of what is a critical mass. I would hate to see a ton of ballots about this, but maybe one ballot with many of the thread options.

I'm not sure. I mean, I know what I'd do, but I don't know what would work best for the group.

And how "ex" is "ex"? I mean, Allyson made a list of folks and their current shows that had names I didn't recognize on it.

I get what ita is saying, but if we get to the point where 70 people are posting about Alias and 10 are posting in one of the NonME shows that already has a thread, how does that make sense?
