Is Spoilers kept on for discussion of future plots, then, FredPete?
Spoilers is being kept open for S5 of AtS.
I forgot about AtS syndication. So I guess Previously stays, but becomes an Angel thread in the fall.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Am-Chau, hadn't thought of that. We could use Spoiler thread for thrashing out ideas, then put the result in the main Buffy thread. Or do it all on the the main thread. As JPM points out, though, AtS spoilers will still be out there.
At this point, I'm just tossing out an idea. If there's interest, either I can make a formal proposal, or it can be rolled into whatever general housekeeping may be done as a result of BtVS and Firefly not making new eps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The spoiler thread already has a use ... I don't think both mesh.
And the habitual denizens might be a wee bit territorial.

Up with the sun
Fred Pete, it sounds like you're talking about a fic project. Which is a great idea, but not something that I would personally put in our main threads, if only for the "It's not NICE to confuse the newbies!" factor.
That's just my reaction, though.

I, err, know that. I was, um, trying to joke. Clearly not very well.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I knew you were joking Am-Chou.
And I agree with Lyra -- if you want a fic thread, call it a fic thread.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Actually, the quote deathmatches will be a nice way to end the Quotables thread. I say keep it open while that's going on, and close it down with a final post containing the winning quotes for each character.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
As I never go into Previouslies, I had no idea there was one thread for both Angel and Buffy combined. But in that case, clearly it would shift over to Angel, right? And same for Spoilers. I think we still want a Buffy thread, but we would no longer need to separate out discussion of previous vs current season, and Buffy Spoilage Lite wouldn't be needed either.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
But in that case, clearly it would shift over to Angel, right? And same for Spoilers.
Why? I mean, we still talk about Buffy in previously. Certainly it could handle both discussions, or if we needed, we could make an Angel previously thread. I don't know that ya'll meant this, but does it really have to be exclusive? Like, making it Previously on Angel rather than just Previously in the Jossverse?
And Spoilers is it's own subthread of show discussion, so I doubt it will be restricted to Angel either. I mean, that's where the primary fodder will come in, but more goes on in there than just Spoiler discussion.
