Well, why do we have a spoilers thread, for a show with no new episodes? It just seems silly. Why not have a thread that discusses all the episodes, and call it that - rather than call it spoilers (of which there are none), and keep the NAFDA thread safe for NAFDA.

I thought part of the reason the Brits to spoilers was to protect them from discussion of the episodes aired in North America, but not yet in the UK.

I may be being selfish here, but no -- I thought it was all about those like me, who are hanging on for the DVDs.

I don't see the point of renaming threads if there still are going to be the same number of threads. They are spoilers, by NAFDA rules, so why not call the thread that? Just like Atlantic Canadians was about early shows.

I think calling it spoilers has the potential to scare off posters who'll think it a different type of spoilage - on something new - like the movie. They'll read the thread name, and not go in there. Why not "Firefly NAFDA" and "Firefly UK" then, and explain the difference in the slugs. I just figure while we're keeping house, we might as well clean it all up.

I'm wondering (not proposing) if PPO could be folded into Bitchy Fic.

I don't want LoTR in movies. Let the pervy hobbit/elf/wizard fanciers have their own neighborhood. (Plus, don't they talk about the books, too?)

Mixed feelings about Buffy hierarchy. We should definitely close Buffy Spoilage Lite right away, and I see no problem in combining Buffy, Angel, and Firefly quotables after the deathmatches. But I admit -- I have a sentimental attachment to Buffy having its own thread, not just sharing the Previously thread with Angel.

But Cindy, they are NAFDA spoilers. As indicated in the Firefly thread slug.

Can one propose to nix a proposal? I'm not taking pleasure in halting a discussion, but it would seem that we have some doomsday stuff to discuss that will need a plan in place before October, for general board health.

If this is all types of assholey of me to bring forward, I way apologize. I'm coming from a place of concern for keeping the board going and not from a place of waiting to kill discussion on a proposal, though that's the end result.

I would really like for us to be able to have an open dialogue with the host that we're busting ass to be able to decrease load on the server, and have a backup plan to be able to get a dedicated server if need be.

It seems a lot of money, but I think we could raise 6 months' worth of dedicated server space if need be and I can talk about some of the ways that we can do that with ease on our wallets.

I'd just like to put board health at the forefront of any discussion.

I blow at technical issues, but I can surely help raise a doomsday fund.

Raquel can withdraw the proposal, since she proposed it. (Although I don't know if she wants to or doesn't want to, b/c I haven't made note of her posts.)

Firefly will be being broadcast in Canada this fall, including the three unaired-in-the-US episodes. So spoilers may be needed for that discussion. Though it may just happen in Atlantic Canadians. (I think John Sweden is the only other really active Canadian on the board.)

Also, there's the Firefly movie...(I hope, I hope, I hope)

Allyson, I agree that if money will solve this problem, we should figure that out FIRST. When we were on HostRocket, we were told the money was not the issue; is that still the case, or are the funds we raised when the board was launched gone?

I think, (and please tell me if I'm wrong) that funds would be needed if we were to move to a dedicated server, which is the Worst Case Scenario, aside from going back to Buffista Island.
