Yes I did Lyra Jane. Actually, if no one else votes we have exactly 42 at the moment. That is all I am saying.

Procedural Question:

If/when the WB starts running promos for the fall season, will the contents of those promos be treated the same as end-of-episode promos, and be classed as NAFDA discussion-acceptable?

I would say that if it airs as a promo on the network then it's fair game. No reason to treat it differently from other promos, IMO.

Network promo no different than a promo at the end of an episode, IMO.

Good night voters and non-voters

Woot.

Just cause I really wasn't in the mood to revisit all the decisions we made last fall...

OK. As far as I can tell, we have dealt with all the process type stuff we need to deal with. Go team us! Now we can vote on the sorts of things we always intended the process to be used for. (I'm sentence-ending-preposition-guy this morning.) Like thread creation.

Allyson's "All Tim, All The Time" thread got the requisite secondses, yes? Here's the thing -- I'm leaving for L.A. tomorrow, and will be gray while I'm there. Unless, the ballot language is finalized today (which I don't think is fair to Allyson), I'll need someone to set up the ballot. ita? Any other stompies with basic html knowledge?

Yay! Let's open up Light Bulb quick so we can get the thread creation decision made before we go to the F2F!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Any other stompies with basic html knowledge?

Jon, send me the template, and let me know what to do.

edit: Although to be honest, might it not be better to hold off until after the F2F? There really is no rush.


amych - May 23, 2003 7:06:53 am PDT #2319 of 10005
Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was about to say that since I'm not F2Fing, you can send it to me, but then I remembered that F2F is next weekend, not this....

Anyway, I agree with DX that we might want to wait until afterwards. Seems like people are already starting to drift off LA-wards, and I'd hate for them to miss it.
