Tara ,'Storyteller'
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.

As to the Buffy threads...
I think The Buffy threads of current and of spoilers and previously should be scrapped for a whole new matrix.
Buffy Afterlife 1: She saved the world...a lot.
or
Buffy Forever 1: Taking a moment..
would be a good start.
Eventually, Unamerican would fall, as well.
So you're suggesting a spoiler thread?
I don't know, it just seems premature to deal with a show so far in the future.
Eventually, Unamerican would fall, as well.
I think you'll find UnAmerican similar to Atlantic Canadians -- it's only somewhat a show thread.
As it is, until Tuesday (5/13), discussing threads for any new shows is kind of premature.
Until that date, whether or not the show is even going to air is just speculation. The ratio of pilots to open slots this year is ridiculous. There are not that many slots opening, and the number of pilots under consideration is quite large.
I'd like to keep the Quotable Buffy up and running for a while so we can have the quote deathmatches.
I just want Tim's new show to have a thread, and worry about closing it later. Does anyone regret the Firefly thread?
I'm with Allyson on this. Tim's not just a now-former ME writer, he's OUR former ME writer. Damn it.
So if former ME writers get new projects and new threads, what about new projects from former ME actors?
Hey. Someone was going to eventually bring it up. Seems right it'd be me, seeing as how we'll find out the fate of "Maddy Breakers" on the 15th. Not that I think a comedy from one of the guys behind "Married ... With Children" will generate intense amounds of in-depth analysis and discussion, but if there's a Speedo scene, ya' never know what might happen with Narrator and Cindy around. IJS.
So if former ME writers get new projects and new threads, what about new projects from former ME actors?
I'm not sure. I think that a show like that is so radically different than ME shows that it might not catch on with this crowd. I'm inclined to take it on a case by case basis.
That being said, maybe we can create a general "alumni" thread.
I would expect an alumni thead to evolve into a general TV thread. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I'd like to keep the Quotable Buffy up and running for a while so we can have the quote deathmatches.
Would we want to do that in the quotable thread? I presume we wouldn't want to do it in Natter, though last time we limited it to certain times of day so it wasn't horribly intrusive.
We COULD develop alumni/TV and alumni/movies threads, and then spin-off ones that are particularly popular. For example, if the NB show seems to be a hit with Buffistas, it would get its own thread, whereas if the response is less-excited, than it would stay in A/TV.
I DO stand by Tim Shows getting threads automatically, though. Because the other VIPs? They don't visit as often as he does.
