Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, wait, you mean, like the WorldX organizational structure? I assumed all the spoily threads were in one folder, but apparently not.

Nope. We had separate Spoilers and Spoilers Lite folders. And while I don't remember all of the details of thread creation, knowing where threads were allows you to extrapolate a fair bit of the history -- SoSS must have come after SL if I'm right that it was in that folder, f'rinstance.

Boy, that folder structure really blew, didn't it? Very glad we've got individual-subscribe threads now.

Amen, sistah.

I still think Victor's idea is practical and will make everyone happy. One thread for spoiler-hatas, one thread for those who want to discuss the BCS but no other spoilers ,and one for the spoiler lovers. No One is left out, no one has to accept a compromise, no one has to be spoiled if they don't want to. I am guessing the second thread will get the most traffic until the fall and then it can be folded into the main thread. This way, everyone gets a place to discuss the shows--and we can stop trying to get people to change their individual spoiler preferences, which is hopeless and actually kind of disrespectful.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey Scrappy, I didn't see your email. Could you resend to Allyson000@aol.com?

Also, wasn't the point of the thread that it was a Tim thread and not a wonder falls thread (which is why I voted as I did)

This is true. Not a Wonder Falls thread.

Rayne - did you have a Schmuck Bait Arms thread or folder at josswhedon.net, or am I combining a bunch of incomplete memories?

I used to have a Writer's Corner board that Kristen kindly hosted for me - off of that, there's was a Schmuck Bait Watch. Schmuck Bait Arms was an old Angel thread at WX (I think). You might say I'm a tad Schmuck Bait addicted.

Thanks for restoring what passes for my memory. I lurked a lot at the writers corner. I loved jw.net.
