Personally, I'm anti-un-US aired eps in the main thread.

It does leave a bunch of people homeless, doesn't it?

Although we were going to wait until August to make such changes, I'm going to make a motion (and it doesn't have to result in a vote - call it a suggestion if you like - I don't care if this is resolved by consensus or vote)...

How about we close the Buffy Spoilers Lite thread (because can be no more Buffy lite spoilers), and open a Firefly Over UK Thread. There will be no net change in the number of threads, so the anti-proliferationistas shouldn't be too bothered.

Once Firefly is out on DVD and everyone has had a chance to see all of the episodes as Joss intended, we can merge into one big happy Firefly thread.

Yeah, it may seem silly to open what will amount to a temporary thread. But is it sillier than displacing one discussion or another, or stifling one discussion to protect one group or another? It isn't to me. YSillyMV.

I think the simplest solution is Brit discussion moving to Spoilers, and Spoiler-inhabitants exercising restraint and/or whitefont.

Restraint/whitefont is a tried-and-true method for increasing the greater glee and screaming of the unspoiled, and it's only 1-2 weeks total, and then the Firefly Spoilers thread will means Thems as has seen everything, and the main Firefly thread will mean Thems as is waiting for the DVDs. And then, when the DVDs come, and everyone has had fair opportunity to see everything, Firefly Spoilers will be redundant and can be retired. Yesno?

An interpersonal whitefont workaround seems to me much less administrative hoo-ha than creating a whole new thread, e.g. But it does rely on the participants having a vested interest in Fay coming in and boldfonting her shock and joy. Which I think is an easy interest to vest.

Fay does make the best vests, and they're comfy to wear.

What Nutty proposes works for me (but, obviously, I'm on Fay's side of this; I'm sort of assuming that people quite like reading my "Oh, wow, shiny! Isn't this wonderful?!!!1!!!" posts, which may not be correct); but I could live with Cindy's answer, if it was done *soon* (this week. Today. Tomorrow. Not long enough to take it to a proper vote).

I like the UK posts including yours Am. They make me remember loving it. I don't care about being spoiled for Firefly. I was just trying to propose something that didn't limit anyone. But I'm going to back out, because although I still read the threads, I seldom post in them.

Something else to keep in mind is that Canadians will be getting the 3 unaired episodes on Space before the DVDs are released. Would we have to go to Spoilers to discuss? Are there other things being discussed in Spoilers? Movie news?

There is currently nothing else being discussed in Spoilers other than the unaired-in-the-US episodes. I can't imagine that there would be any spoilery movie news before Xmas, but I'm not an expert on the speed of film production.

ou know what strikes me - NAFDA was orignially North American oriented because the U.S. got the joy first. When Canada was an exception by only one day, Canada was given it's own thread to avoid spoiling people in the USA. But I think this was because of the "only one day" thing, plus Canadians are used to deferring to the U.S.

Bottom line. I think now that UK has gotten firefly and are getting ahead of USA on episodes, I think they ought to be able to discuss them in main firefly thread, and not have to go to spoilers. White fonting strikes as a reasonable compromise .

I don't see white fonting as a compromise, mainly because it's too much the same as not whitefonting, for the volumes that will probably exist. It'll end up the same way for me ...

However, since all the cool kids (you know what I mean) will be watching the unaired eps, I have a feeling all the FF discussion will be wherever that is. So there wouldn't be anywhere for me to be anyway.

We can always discuss it in Atl. Canadians...
