Combining the Quotables threads post-Deathmatch
Are you talking about combining all three? (I'm pro combination, I'm just clarifying.)
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

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.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When you say "we all agree" who do you mean?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I was going to ask, because I don't really go into the thread, what is the purpose of Previously?
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.

Are you talking about combining all three?
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.

I don't think it's serving the first purpose, nor do I think it is necessary. This other, however, is relevant. I'd love to have some unAms weigh in on this.

Burrell, the way I understand it, it's a place for people who are watching the syndicated shows (possibly for the first time) to talk about them without getting spoiled for the new shows. It's also a place to have an earlier show discussion without it getting lost in the discussions of new episodes or watch'n'posts which can happen during the season.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is now true for any thread dedicated to discussing Buffy. I mean, right? Hasn't everyone now seen the whole thing? (Except Nilly, of course -- sorry about that...)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yep. The only reason for keeping Previously open, really, is if people (either UnAms or people on tape delay) want a separate thread for AtS syndication, which begins in September.

There seems to be a tacit resistance to closing Previously.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Because people want it for Angel reruns.
