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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Right, 'cuz it would be a little weird being Buffistas without a Buffy thread, even though Previously is a kind of Buffy thread.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think when the UnAmericans have finished S7, we should get rid of Previously and just have the one thread. (I wouldn't mind getting rid of Quotable, but people might want to keep the deathmatches separate from the main conversation.)
