How about:
Minearvana 1: The single goat theory
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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.

But even more than that, I would like for whatever we do - vote to create, or just create by fiat, a thread for Tim's new show - to wait until after Tuesday the 15th, just a few short days away, when we actually know whether or not a single episode of the show will even air.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I wrote along post and lost it! Short version:
1. We specified that every new thread must be voted in.
2. Logically, all thread combos should b voted over as well.
3. You guys had to talk about this while I'm on a fricken WEBTV interface, ddn't yu??
Overal, I am very proconsolidaton nd anti-new threads until the nee for thm is proved. Like we should be overwhelming Natter, e.g., wth our posts on Topic X before Topic X warrants its own thread. Thus declares Nutty, for purely oganizational and efficiency reasons.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No kidding. Ya gotta love the dedication.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was considering COMMing 1645.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I realize this is purely personal, so forgive me for bringing it up, but I'm a little squicked at the thought of debating whether our Tim's show should have his own thread. It seems like it's so obvious, an honor.
Is he like the showrunner, or just a staff writer? It doesn't seem so obvious to me. It depends if the show will generate discussion. What if he got hired to kill off characters on Days of our Lives? I still wouldn't watch. We could just have a sporadic discussion in Buffy whenever he personally wrote an episode or a movie script.

Then again, maybe we should have a Minear thread, just so we can use this title.

1. We specified that every new thread must be voted in.
2. Logically, all thread combos should b voted over as well.
Seconded. I think as a politeness thing, people should abstain if it's a thread they never go into, but we can't mandate that.
And I would be happy with either "Wonder Falls" + general alumi or "Wonder Falls" as general alumni until it's clear there's volume to support threads on multiple shows.
Also, I like the suggestion of combining Buffy previously, spoilage lite, and the main thread into Buffy Afterlife. I can see arguments for doing it on May 21 or doing it only when Buffy 4 runs out (which may not be until fall.) Thoughts?
Also, I think the quote deathmatches should go in Quotables.
