Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Art Crawl!!!

Quick question: when discussing TAR in Natter -- how long are we white-fonting for?

(I mean, is TAR something that people outside of North America will see eventually?)

I thought that we were going to consolidate closer to the end of Summer, before the new teevee season started.

Allyson, that was what I was trying to remember too! I'm not sure.

It seems like now would be an okay time, since things are pretty quiet. (I don't think either Un-American or Canadians should be on the table, just things like spoilage light and previously.)

Would now be an okay time to sort out the consolidating-the-Buffy-threads thing, or should we wait a bit longer?

What Allyson said. I'd wait until August. No rush.

Cool, I'm in no hurry.

I'd almost like to see Buffy 4 organically go out, and then just not make Buffy 5.

Also, by August, wouldn't the UnAmericans be done with the end of Buffy? Then we could go with one "previously" thread for the world.

The Unamerican thread is it's own community, so that one would definitely stay. But either the main Buffy or the Previously could definitely be eliminated.

That said, really, let's not get into this right now.

Hmm.. I would have though the natural choice to be consolidate everything into the Buffy thread, and have that be the one that keeps going.

Not long, I would think. Enough to allow for time-zone differences, definitely. I think that anything over one or two days to allow for tape delay would be getting into the realm of the ridiculous, IMHO.

That's what I would do, too.

But we will hash out differing visions in August, yes?
