Frankly, I think this can all wait until at least after the F2F.
Can I just ask how the F2F impacts this discussion/decision?
Mal: Which one you figure tracked us? Zoe: The ugly one, sir. Mal: Could you be more specific?

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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I don't think it does, Julie. I think it's just an arbitrary "after we get back home and the season is over and we're settled back in again" sort of thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd think the pickups announcement would be a more logical time, if one has to wait. So, we propose, discuss, vote, and sometime in that period it becomes apparent there's no show -- no big deal, as I see it.

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
Anyway-- now someone is going to come along and want to vote on my password.
I propose that we change Sophia's password to "hobbitslash." Any seconds?

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'm proposing a thread dedicated to Minear. The thing is, if this show does go away, Tim will get back on the horse, and also is likely to get his fingers sticky in all sorts of projects over the course of our board. I think that Tim isn't just a Buffista, but our patron saint, as well.

Patron saint is good. Even if he stops coming, like he did after "Billy" for several months, he can still be an iconic figure like Agnes Bertiz.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Then, by all means, we have a suggestion of 'Minearvana," so..any others?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think that Tim isn't just a Buffista, but our patron saint, as well.
See, I'm all for canonizing him as St. Tim of the Scythe too. I'd be fine with a Tim-dedicated thread that follows any of his work as long as he's bothering to put out product. It's just...even Mickey Mantle had to be voted into the Hall of Fame. Even the President has to turn in his taxes.

Is now the time to second? Cuz, if it is, I second.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Seconding or thirding or whatev.
Wondering if these stick-to-procedure types have heard of lifetime achievement awards :P <-- Please to be noting the dratted emoticon. These words are meant tongue in cheek.
