I don't see how it's fair enough that Tim gets his own thread. How could we possibly have any idea if Wonder Falls will last any longer than any other new show?

Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor, intelligence and obsessiveness.
Currently this is our mission statement.
I guess the question is, do we want to include
1. Actual ME shows only (except those grandfathered in like Due South, Farscape, Smallville)
2. Actual ME shows only, plus Tim's because he's Our Near.
3. Actual ME shows, plus anyone else who has worked for ME in the past.
4. Anything else that takes our fancy.
I am actually happy with taking things on a case by case basis. If Natter becomes overwhelmed because Alias is the new black I think we should have a thread here instead of making people shut up because everyone else is annoyed. it is within our generic description.
I think by making the proposed Due south/Smallville/Stargate etc thread very fandom oriented, we wouldn't suddent;y start talking about the Gilmore Girls and dawson's Creek over there.

Ayup.
If it gets canned, the thread gets canned. Poof.
Because we don't believe in threads for shows not currently on the air?
(I'm trying to figure out what fake tag to use that I mean that in a light-hearted, jokey fashion.)
Just FTR, by fair enough I meant that it's a fair argument. I personally (as I think is by now clear) think one thread is enough until something comes along to demonstrate that it's not. I'm just curious to hear arguments in favor of adding two threads instead of one.

I believe in sticking my tongue out at you, missy. But don't give me strep.
What if we call one new thread something like:
Tim's new Touched by a crazy person show AND if you want to talk about some of the other ME graduate prjects here is the place?
If it gets canned, the thread gets canned. Poof.
What, the same way as we canned the threads for Farscape, Due South, and Firefly?
I agree that one thread would work as a starter, though maybe we should put Wonder Falls in the name for the Tim-shoutout factor.

Due South was started after the show ended. Farscape is in reruns, starting from the beginning. Firefly has unaired episodes still to discuss.
FYI: Whedonesque has linked to Tim's posts from the other night.
