That sounds reasonable to me, DX.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

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
Huh. Dark Horizons has reported that Eliza's show has been pushed to a midseason replacement so that FOX can fuck with it and recast and reshoot the pilot.
Wonderfalls is also a midseason show.
Loooks like we'll have jack crap to discuss come October, anyway.

Pulled from Lightbulb because it's more relevant here:
What do you mean by 'bumping'?
Over the past couple months there have been suggestions to eliminate the Previously thread, or make it solely for Angel. I suppose I just don't see why it can't encompass discussions of both syndicated shows. It's not like there hasn't been side-by-side Buffy discussion in both the Previously and Buffy threads, which will probably be true for Angel as well. Make it a thread for both discussions, keep the Buffy and Angel threads open. You'll still get a level of discussion, even it's redundant. It's not like Previously is a drain on resources, considering the level onf inactivity (which will hopefully change with Angel syndication).

Here's what I don't get. Since the unAmericans have seen the final Buffy, there is only "previously on Buffy". The Buffy thread has now become a previously thread, and whether people want to discuss the same episodes in the current Previously thread is their prerogative, but clearly redundant. I'm with Cindy on keeping a Buffy thread, but there's no reason that I can think of not to change the current line on the Previously thread to reflect Angel discussion, which still has new shows.

So the changes we all agree on seem to be...
- Archiving Spoilage Lite: Buffy
- Archiving Buffista Press
- Altering the "previously" slug to make it clear that "previously on Angel" talk goes there
- Combining the Quotables threads post-Deathmatch
Anything else?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Also pulled from Lightbulbs:
To be honest, the whole option of bumping Previously ticks me off a little.
I was going to ask, because I don't really go into the thread, what is the purpose of Previously? I don't understand why one can't discuss syndicated episodes in the main thread. I'd be very happy to have a denizen of Previously explain to me why it is so different so that I can better understand why that difference should be preserved.

Are you talking about combining all three? (I'm pro combination, I'm just clarifying.)

When you say "we all agree" who do you mean?

I wasn't around for it's original incarnation, but I'd imagine it was to handle discussion of previous episodes and seasons when the main thread was taken over with current discussion.
Plus it's a place that's unAmerican friendly, and while I know they have their own thread, it's a thread that allows discussion for both unAmerican and Americans without worrying about the WF or NAFDA.

Sorry -- yes, I am.
When you say "we all agree" who do you mean?
Good question.
I don't mean "we have a bullshit consensus and should therefore make these changes right away." I mean, "of the people who have been in the Bureaucracy and Lightbulbs threads today, these changes have been mentioned several times and have met no significant objection." It's just an informal list to help me (and hopefully others) keep track of what's being said.
