Right now, Buffy 4 is at 4,902 messages. I think we should let it play out, and decide after it gets to 10,000 whether we want an independent Buffy 5, or if Buffy discussion can go into Previously.

Putting the Angel Quotables in a general ME Quotables thread will make that thread spoilery, which will make it pretty much a de facto Angel Quotables thread. I don't have a problem with that, but UnAmericans might. I dunno, are a lot of quotes added long after the show's original airing?

I don't see the problem, as, well, quotables has ALWAYS been NAFDA.

Or, at least, we could possibly host Sang Sacre somewhere else.

If Sang Sacre isn't generating any posts, then it's not a drain on the system right now. It kind of comes and goes. I'd rather it stayed, but it seems like it's run down now.

As David says, if it's not generating many posts, it's not a drain. And it does run in cycles.

IMO - not if we're going to assign Angel re-run discussion to Previously. If Farscape, Due South, and Firefly have their own threads, I don't understand why we'd consider shoving Buffy discussion into the Previouslies thread at the Buffistas board.

What Cindy Said. It's a freaking Buffy board. We should have a Buffy thread.

True, but since any Buffy and Firefly quotes wouldn't be NAFDA anymore, would it now make a difference? I'm just asking.

It shouldn't. Normally, they don't get much traffic at all except during first run of the episodes.

As far as the Buffy thread discussion goes, I think we're getting tangled in the semantics of whether the continuing Buffy thread should be "Buffy" or "Previously" (presumably because they'll all be previously).

However, both of those positions are essentially arguing the same thing, but with different preferences for naming.

Personally, (and I think if we sit down and think about it, we'd all generally agree) I think that we should always have a Buffy thread, and it should always be named just "Buffy," in deference to our humble origins.

Yes, it is by default a "perviously" (I'ma leave that typo...) thread, but we are Buffistas, and always keeping a Buffy thread, entitled Buffy, is probably our best option for essentially erecting a virtual giant bronze statue of Buffy in the rotunda, which I think we should do, as it is right and proper that such a thing be done.

(EtA: Jeez, I think I came up with a different spelling of "previously" for every single time it occured in this post. Yeesh.)

I think the point was that having a buffy thread and a previously on buffy thread was redundant, because all buffy episodes are now "previouslies", so they'd just become one.

*relurk*

But the previously thread will be broadened to include Angel - so it's not just a Buffy thread. It's the syndication thread for ME shows.
