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.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Previously has been pretty much Buffy only -- until Angel comes into syndication, it was kinda gonna be that way.

I kind of like the idea of Quotable staying open -- the repeats aren't any less quotable, after all.

Can one make an anti-proposal? Because I'd like to vote* against ever having anything as utterly idiotic as a "three click rule". Can't even read a perfectly nice TWoP forum without cringing every five minutes.
[*] No, not really.

What's a three-click rule?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Robert, are you talking about this?
This is often referred to as the 'three click rule': which means that any page within a site should be no more than three clicks from the home page.
I'm trying to figure out how it applies.

The three click rule is supposed to be a good thing. TWOP's problem is that reading any article is twenty clicks.

Yeah, what's up with that? Is it an attempt by TWOP to drive up ad revenue by increasing the number of page hits (more pages/article=more page views), or does it help balance the load on the server?
BTW, I thought that we are always just one click away from the home page anywhere in the site here, since the "Buffistas Home" link is at the top of the page.
