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.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Because we don't believe in threads for shows not currently on the air?
I believe in sticking my tongue out at you, missy. But don't give me strep.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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.

Another social casualty...
FYI: Whedonesque has linked to Tim's posts from the other night.

Right. Point being, a show being no longer aired has never meant the thread went poof in the past. Can we really promise it in the future?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Didn't we tell the whedonesque people not to link directly to our board, and didn't they agree?

I still like the idea of it being just the one thread, with Tim's show headlining it.
Possibly because I find the layers of funny in Touched By A Crazy Person: Wonder Falls and Other Post-Grad Projects a touch too amusing for my own good.

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 just want Tim's new show to have a thread, and worry about closing it later. Does anyone regret the Firefly thread?
