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.

If I understand correctly, the Tim's-shows thread wasn't created because there are going to be new shows, but because Tim, a Buffista, has a new show, right?

Also, the way I understand it, conversation on a certain topic springs in whichever thread it seems to fit most, and if it seems like it's clogging that thread from its original purpose or it seems to merit a home of its own for whatever particular reason, the issue brought up here, and we have now a procedure to follow then. Or at least, this is the impression I got from past 'emergece of threads'.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes, Nilly, you are correct.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I would think that the logical place to discuss the OC or Tru Calling would be in Natter in whitefont until the West Coast airs it. Isn't that what is done with TAR?

Nilly COMMed Katie and Rick, and made my allergies act up. Ban them!

There's also the option of turning the Buffy thread into an all-purpose TV thread.

(Oh god, I'm turning into a proliferationista. Make it stop!)

I wouldn't do this, because it's not instinctual.

BUT... if we made "previously" the sole buffy thread;

cut "buffy spoilage light";

cut the main buffy thread;

and added a general TV thread,

we're actually still down one.

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

Oh god, I'm turning into a proliferationista. Make it stop!

Nah, you're talking about repurposing a thread; I'd only send the men in white coats for you if you started wanting a dedicated thread for every show that three or more people wanted to talk about.

If I only had a brain...

Lyra, make that a formal proposal, and I'll second it.

Feh, I so don't want a general tv thread. I hate the general t fill in the blank threads.

This is more what I was thinking -- replace either Buffy or Previously with a general TV thread. If people want that.

(And I agree that it's probably time to archive Buffy Spoilage Light.)
